Viva La Quinte At The Barrowlands - Notes From The Box Set.
Barrowlands in Glasgow 1991, this dreadful recording is included bcause I love it, some sham taped it down the hall with a getto blaster under his arm and a microphone up his ar--. But I'm very glad he took the trouble. I was charmed to hear the glorious Glasgow hordes sing out the way they did. When I break a string or change guitars they carry on regardless. Those whistlers and clappers, bless them all. Here's the guitar chords in the key of G.
