The Edinburgh Playhouse
The grade A listed Edinburgh Playhouse first opened in 1929 as a cinema. Its capacity is 3,059, (Stalls: 1,519, Balcony: 860 and Circle: 680) making it the UK's largest working non-sporting theatre in terms of audience capacity.
It was designed by the specialist cinema architect John Fairweather, who was inspired by the Roxy Cinema in New York. The building was owned and run by John Patrick Maguire [1] [2]. The building is one of the finest surviving examples of the "super-cinema" built in an era when creating a feeling of opulence and grandeur, as well as maximising seating capacity was top of the list. Closed to cinema in 1973, and narrowly escaping demolition, it has hosted many bands and performers, as well as now being mainly used for touring musicals.
The building has a unique design, making best use of its steeply sloping site, with a small low facade giving little indication of the scale of the auditorium concealed behind; the grand circle is entered from street level, with stairs down to the stalls, and stairs up to the upper circle. The vast brick bulk of the auditorium rearing up behind the symmetrical sandstone facade of eleven bays in a debased classical style [2]. The interior impresses with its scale, featuring two massive fully cantilevered balconies and commodious foyers with fine terrazzo floors [2].
The Playhouse was transformed into a theatre in 1980 [4] [7] [10]. It is the largest theatre in Scotland and the second largest in the United Kingdom, with a seating capacity of 3,059[1]. The theatre has changed hands several times over the years, and it is currently owned by the Ambassador Theatre Group [1] [10].
The venue has hosted almost everyone; in 1982 The Jam, Van Morrison and the Rolling Stones also hit the massive stage but then so did Sir Cliff Julio Iglesias!
The building is still standing and continues to serve as a venue for touring productions [1] [2]. It is a Category A listed building, indicating its historical and architectural significance [1] [8]. The Playhouse is not only known for its performances but also for its resident ghost, Albert, who is believed to be a former stagehand [4] [5] [10].

Great site, but while I was browsing I noticed a small mistake. The gig on May 7th 1977 in Edinburgh is not quite as listed. The Prefects didn't play that night but The Slits did. I should know as I was there and it changed my life.
Johnny McGuire - I was there!
Joe Why Te - Graeme Sneddon .. wasn't it Another Pretty Face [as support)? Might be talking pish, long time ago!

5: WHITE RIOT TOUR, PLAYHOUSE, EDINBURGH, 7 MAY 1977
Punk mayhem tore the Playhouse down in 1977 THE ticket stub gave little clue as to what we were about to witness: The Clash plus Special Guests. But this was a gig over which the audience had built up a head of steam for weeks, and which has since gone down as a defining moment in Scotland's music lore.
On a night of punk mayhem, The Clash and their "special guests" tore the Playhouse down with an "up-yours" attitude that was evident right from the start. It was the first time punk rock had been presented in the manner of 1960s package tours, but it had an Achilles heel: at least one of the bands had no ambitions to be punks. They were punk's polar opposites: mods. Their name? The Jam.
They kicked off their set with a string of invective aimed at punk in general and Joe Strummer in particular. They'd soon leave the tour. Manchester's Buzzcocks bulleted through Boredom and other songs from their Spiral Scratch EP, Subway Sect somehow managed to complete their set despite a hail of phlegm, and The Slits' Ari Up, big on hair, short on temper, had an ongoing row with sexist yobs in the front stalls.
The Clash were raucous, ripping through White Riot and other tracks from their debut album. "We're the kings of punk from the Westway," barked Strummer. Nobody was about to argue. Yes, this gig was part of a UK tour, but we've included it because, for those who were there, it sent reverberations through the Scottish music scene that would forever change the way music was discovered, made and distributed north of the Border.
Punk would march on to encourage DIY music-making. Edwyn Collins, James Kirk and Steven Daly all went to the White Riot tour, and were gobsmacked enough to form Orange Juice; Alan Horne was inspired to found Postcard records and Davey Henderson to put Edinburgh's The Fire Engines together. It was the start of a Scottish music revolution. STEWART CRUICKSHANK
