Concert in city was smashing fun for fans
SMASHING GIG IN CITY FOR MOON AND THE WHO... 35,000 pack out Celtic
STILL have the programme for the gig (Smashing gig in Glasgow for Moon and The Who, Times Past Wednesday). It was a fantastic day, £4 for the ticket, the bands were Widowmaker, Streetwalkers, Outlaws, Little Feat, Sensational Alex Harvey band and the WHO (those were the days).

I LOVED Little Feat! A brilliant day – only spoiled by having to give little “neds” money to come back to a safe car! It was the East End!
Still remember “spot the drug squad” – the giveaway was the anoraks!
I saw the Who also in 72 at Greens Playhouse (then became the Apollo). Their power consumption made the lights dip around the area.
What a show, what a band and the album “Who’s Next” their best!
Great days with real musicians who served an apprenticeship and learned their trade.
Look at today’s rubbish for kids – mass-produced and manufactured sound alike dross! Westender 1

Our readers had lots to say on our story last week regarding graffiti near a city train line. Here’s a selection of comment...

Why use convicted criminals to clean up the spray-can vandals’ mess, better to catch spray-can vandals while they’re making their mess, and make them clean up, or, charge them the expense of the cleaning up.

While he has also urged the youths who are responsible for the action to stop and pleaded with Glasgow City Council to find a permanent solution to the problem.
He said: “It’s all in the one area and it runs parall l ith th P i l C l and we know how much it can negatively affect people in their daily lives.
“Those responsible leave themselves open to prosecution while also routinely undermining the communities they come from.
“W h ti dt been spent, is totally vandalised by graffiti.
Now, it’s spilling over to graffiti vandalism of other people’s property and homes. Not a surprise.
The city and the police, the prosecutors and courts do nothing.
We are left to live in a vandalised dump.
I don’t recommend a walk around Glasgow. You’ll be stunned by the litter and vandalism by graffiti.
