88. I'd better share some details myself, eh?
The Glasgow Barrowlands (1900 cap) is one of the most legendary venues east of the Atlantic. Once the haunt of a serial killer and several WWII riots, in the last 20 years it has become the most renowned rock venue in the UK. I saw Sonic Youth, Ash, Radiohead, Pop Will Eat Itself (for some reason), Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub, Supergrass and countless others there. The only time I ever crowdsurfed was at Sonic Youth, where I ended up at Kim Gordon's feet.

King Tut's Wah-Wah Hut is the classic small venue (200 cap). I saw Sparklehorse, Fountains of Wayne, Supergrass (again), and hundreds of other bands there. The only ever rock interview I did (Ian McCulloch) I did there.

The Glasgow Garage (formerly the Mayfair) (800 cap) is a great club-sized venue. I saw Tricky, Pavement, the Jesus and Mary Chain and others there. No night was complete without a little ultraviolence.

The Glasgow Arches (1200 or so cap) are disused railway tunnels under the city. Great for theatre, techno event, things like that. I think I saw Mudhoney there. Can't recall for sure.
