Review of this concert in The Scotsman, Saturday Feb 14, 1863.
"The Reid Commemoration Concert ... took place in the Music Hall ... which was filled from floor to ceiling. In consequence of the judicious concession of the Professor to the claims of the students, there was nothing like the unseeemly disturbances of last year.
