The only two bands I ever got to see at the "Pivvy" were the Waterboys & the Saw Doctors (at that time the former's support band) - older readers may remember the Saw Doctors when they were the punk band Blaze X. By the time I was old enough to get into gigs, most of the bands I liked had split up (the first time around, that is!). Sod's Law really.
Stiff Little Fingers always made a point of doing the Pav as well as Glasgow Barrowlands, as did the Waterboys, but they were the exceptions to the rule. That did for the Pav more than anything else, in the same way the famous Glasgow Apollo was closed when bands started bodyswerving it for bigger venues with lousier acoustics!
