 Hammersmith Apollo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hammersmith Apollo, located in Hammersmith, London, England, has been a rock venue for decades, first opened in 1932, and known as "Gaumont Palace Hammersmith" until 1962.
The night after Queen's 1979 concert, the Hammersmith Odeon hosted the 4-night Concerts for the People of Kampuchea, a benefit concert to raise money for Cambodian residents who were victims of the tyrannical reign of dictator Pol Pot of which Queen played the first night.
Kylie Minogue and Girls Aloud released DVDs of their concerts at the Apollo in 2004 and 2005 respectively, and a DVD of a Bruce Springsteen concert held there in 1975 was released as part of the Born to Run 30th Anniversary Edition package, and later was released the CD Hammersmith Odeon London '75.

 Dream Theater @ Hammersmith Apollo, London : gig review
The Hammersmith Apollo is being invaded tonight by old rockers, young metallers and plenty of music's equivalent to trainspotters, who have all come to drool in wonder at the awe-inspiring quintet that is Dream Theater.
As the band takes to the stage, the Apollo is shaken to its foundations by the roar of the crowd who are gagging for the aural fix.
Tearing into As I Am, the opening track from latest release Train Of Thought, one of two reactions ensue: i) frenzied moshing; or ii) open-mouthed adoration from observing fellow musicians, whom all have the same "how does he do that?" look upon their faces, which lasts for most of the next three hours.

This spirit of self-invention, allied with technically excellent, imaginative musicianship, is what marks them out from both their old Britpop contemporaries and the legion of bands they have inspired.
Their setlist at the Apollo touched on all aspects of their career, from Nirvana-influenced early material such as “Iron Lung” to the alt-prog rock of “Karma Police” and the warped ambient electronica of their Kid A-era music.
Their new songs revert to rock’s guitars-drums format, yet bear the imprint of their electronica experiments.

Hammersmith Council can rest easy tonight - Beck’s fans do not elicit fears of happy-slapping or vandalism on the streets of West London.
We're in white middle class thirty-something territory, and most of this crowd care as little for the shifting tides of modern music as they do for street crime: for them, Beck is the shifting tide of modern music.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | | Elton John, Hammersmith Apollo, London
The critics considered this a very poor idea, and doled out a drubbing accordingly.
Thirty years later, Elton is at it again, and he opened his Hammersmith mini-season with a string of eight songs from the month-old Peachtree Road.
This time the ploy was more successful, probably because the Peachtree songs are big, tuneful pieces with huge choruses, cut from classic Elton John cloth.
