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!’”
