Because I knew that i had seen AC/DC, but I thought it was at the Stoneground but, no, it was at the electric circus. but not in 77.
in March 77, I was elsewhere.
they first appeared at the Electric Circus in May 1976. their first Manchester show,
i checked their gig history and here it is.
“I don't think the Electric Circus was open in May 1976. I am sure it opened around September/October 1976. AC/DC did play at Manchester University SU (now the Academy 2) on 3 November 1976.”
“I'm trying to get in touch with whoever submitted this, I need permission to use it (and a high res scan) in a book on British Rock posters. Mike Evans/ 020 7352 6115”
“I stand corrected. I have been told by someone who does a French AC/DC website that AC/DC did play the Electric Circus, Manchester in May 1976. I have been sent a photo, which looks nothing like the Circus stage that I remember, but which I am assured is the same venue. If I can get permission and verify that it is the Circus in Manchester I will post it on here.”
“HI.HERE,S MY TAKE ON ACDC PLAYING AT THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS IF IT HELPS.RIGHT .I BOUGHT THERE 1ST ALBUM,HIGH VOLTAGE IN 1976.IN A RECORD SHOP OFF OXFORD ROAD,THERE WAS AN AD IN SOUNDS OR NME.FOR A GIG AT THE FREE TRADE HALL 1977,SURE IT WAS MARCH..I DID GO...IT WAS,NT SOLD OUT.FAR FROM IT,BUT THEY DID PLAY THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS BEFORE THIS GIG...SO IT MIGHT BE 76.”
