Noel: “Glasgow was a shithouse, but the audience wasn’t dampened by it - they were great.” “The audience in Glasgow was wonderful, but the vibes were heavy. This huge bouncer was staggering about nearly legless shouting for the band's autographs. ‘Where are ye?’ We hid. Afterwards, while trying to get the crowds out, he got his finger cut off in the door. He never missed it, only wouldn’t you know it was one of the musicians who eventually said, ‘What’s this? Aauuugh!’”

(Mick Fleetwood, interview, 1997)

↪ "We were hanging out together and we were playing a lot too. He stopped playing and looked at me. I loved him so much. One day he leaned over so I could touch his hair. It was all weird, frizzy and spongy….”
