What were the acts you were into right from the start ahead of the rest? Were you at Simple Minds' first gig, or did you maybe see a support act early doors?

Back in 1978 a Glasgow band ditched their previous names and launched themselves to a Glasgow audience as Simple Minds.
We want to hear about the bands you got into right at the start – maybe you were there for that gig, perhaps you saw a future star as a support and fell in love. Who are the bands you got into ahead of the rest.
