''It was a bright sunny day, a rare occurrence in Scotland, according to Frank Gallagher, one of our resident Scots. David and Frank had both been born not far from Glasgow and our collective mood was very high. After checking into the Ivanhoe Hotel, we took a long walk around the city [...] If we thought the crowd reaction in [[Event:1977-05-19 Talking Heads at Eric's Club|Liverpool]] and [[Event:1977-05-20 Talking Heads at Polytechnic|Leeds]] was something wild, nothing had prepared us for the sheer, savage ferocity of the Scots. The Celts really know how to give it up and turn it loose, and boy did they ever. Thank goodness they loved us or I probably wouldn't be here to tell this tale."''<ref>Frantz, Chris.
