I saw them at the Apollo in '76, I thought that was the last time they were there, but I could be wrong

Quality Mince wrote:Shehallion, you're absolutely right. Deep Purple last played the Apollo in 1976. And indeed it was Tommy Bolin who played lead guitar. At the time Deep Purple were a shadow of their former selves and I can't say that I really enjoyed this concert. I'm sure I read that Tommy Bolin died a few years back.
Interesting your comments about Thin Lizzy and running to catch the last train. I also made that sprint down Renfield Street to Central Station many many times to catch the last train to Ayrshire where I was used to live. I reckon I must have missed the last bit of every Apollo concert I ever attended!
