NINE INCH NAILS
21st May
Barrowlands, Glasgow
support : Pig

Incredibly enough, the only gig I went to all year, being the poor student I was, but it was
 a good one. First visit to the Barrowlands, a mighty dark piss-pit of a place (decide for yourself
if that's good or not). Support band Pig were ace, although at the time I was told they were
Sheep on Drugs, whose crap records I bought for weeks afterward before I found out. I was
caught out by the appearance of the main act, being halfway through taking my jacket off
when they came on, I nearly had my arm broken by the crowd surging forward. This was a
truly sweaty, physically exhausting gig (the best kind), which I enjoyed hugely, even if I saw
very little of what actually went on. First time I'd heard "Closer", it was easily my fave track
of the night. T-shirts were available, the money wasn't. If only Killie had made it to that
afternoon's cup final, this could've been a truly great Staurday in Glasgow. Instead, it was just
a great one.
