57.5 Degrees of Pain Jul 2020 12:26pm, 22 Jul 2020 6,020 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain One of the first live bands I saw, at an outdoor concert in 1984, quite good that day. They were the penultimate act behind Pallas, some prog rockers who I never heard of again. Guess the actual first band I saw were the opening act that day, Glasgow. A truly horrible heavy rock act.

Dvorak Jul 2020 12:44pm, 22 Jul 2020 20,262 posts	0 Dvorak I saw Pallas twice, once in the Glasgow Pavilion and once in the Tamdhu in Bannockburn. Their debut album "Arrive Alive" took inspiration from pedestrian caution signs in Cumbernauld. Also saw Glasgow several times, in the Burns Bar in Falkirk. Metal Daze! 😈 The Burns Bar actually was not a very suitable venue in layout, even less so for letting off flashbombs in (as Glasgow did ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQnFww-IXvk
