The weekend New York came to Glasgow (1977)

Aaagh memories!
What a double bill and the Friday night had been The Ramones supported by Talking Heads at Strathclyde University!
Only The Ramones had played in the UK previously!
(I think I may have written about these gigs here before but what can I say...?
I actually met Allan Jones from the Melody Maker that weekend, a story that he revisited in his regular column 'Stop Me If You have Heard This Before' at the back of 'Uncut', a couple of years ago.
It was very strange to be confronted with my 17 year old self especially as I was reading it with two of my kids who are older now than I was then.
I remarked that I had hardly changed - which I thought was good!
They thought that was tragic!)
