According
to the excellent 'Buzzcocks : The Complete
History' by Tony McGartland -
"Glasgow, Apollo. After the concert, an initially
quiet drink in the bar of the Central Hotel soon
becomes a night of outrageous 'dare' games between
Buzzcocks and Joy Division, resulting in the
police being called and Boon receiving a massive
bill for the drinks and damage".
Al - from TopplersRecords.com remembers the
following:
"I saw them at the Glasgow Apollo and they
were fantastic but only did a very short set. They
definitely did Transmission as they had recently
been on the telly doing that song and I even
remember some of the Glasgow punks imitating Ian
Curtis' spastic dance, which was funny! We met the
Buzzcocks in the backstreet after the gig as they
were loading up their gear and almost everyone was
asking them why Joy Division only got to play for
a short time!! They said that was how long they
wanted to play for and could easily have done
more, but we all thought they were worried that JD
were stealing their thunder!" Al - from
