15th February 1985 at the Glasgow Apollo.

Probably one of my favourite setlists, it was a magic concert.
I ramdely thought I'd take a listen to that gig and boy they were cooking!
A great Sewer/ Toiler back to back too at a great fast energyed pace.agreed,I can see why you thought it was a great gig and many thought Mk1 was past there sellby date in the mid '80s.
I think they were still right on top of their game.
Glad you enjoyed it along with your memories of that night.

Memory not as good as it was :grin: , but as luck would have it, this gig was recorded.
I'm really lucky that way, as my first ever Stranglers concert was the Apollo Revisited CD....originally recorded by radio Clyde. 👍

Cocktail Nubiles at Hammersmith 81 stands out. Was totally unexpected. The way it then exploded into the normal version was pure bliss at the time.

I was at that too, fantastic.
First gig for me was Apollo 30/9/78. Ticket was £2.

Apparently it was 15ft high.
Every Stranglers concert I was at in the Apollo the first few rows of seat were ripped up. Hopefully the link opens, it show Angus Young on stage.
