First surround I heard was in the Odeon, Aberdeen. The Robe, in the '50s.
And the thunder FX made some of the surround speakers rattle. Not very
impressive.

First impressive live band sound wise - Emile Ford and the Checkmates at
the Beach Ballroom. You could actually feel the bass guitar. Amazing at
the time - before the Beatles were well known. Saw them there too just
after they came back from Hamburg.

Aaaah, the Beach Ballroom..................

Many a happy memory got started in that den of iniquity! I wonder if
it's still there, I only remember it from the late '60s, when I was up
at Uni there.
