The very first was the Ronettes, I think it was in 1962 in the Caird Hall Dundee.

Slaughter and the Dogs at the Factory in Hulme. If you wanted Punk, thats where you had to be :cool:
Do you realise just how lucky and priviledged you were. Jimmy Shand Very Rarely played the fiddle. He was a good Fiddle player but he much preferred his Accordion. He went so far to have a special Accordion made for him in Trossingen, Germany by Hohner. The accordion was based on the popular Morino model, but had a diatonic, button arrangement on the treble (similar to a melodeon - tuned B/C/C# ) coupled with a standard, non-diatonic stradella bass system. This instrument is considered by many as the best accordion for Scottish country dance music.
Here is a Very Rare Picture of Jimmy playing his Fiddle. :-

Depeche Mode...Master & Servant tour in Aberdeen 1984

Sensational Alex Harvey Band at Glasgow Apollo in May 1974. I was 13 and had to run away from home to go to it. Came back 2 days later, and had my arse skelped for my trouble. It was worth it though, and I'm still a huge fan.
Beach Boys at Liverpool Empire in about 1967. They were on one of the package shows with about 4 other bands, The only other one I can remmber was Paul Revere & the Raiders.
I remember the programmes from those type of gigs. It was about 16 pages and each band got photo on one side of page and a Bio. on facing page.

Runrig way back in the 1980s.
