I can't believe you are 41! You look so young...must be years of clean livin'

i've noticed that some people, and even myself sometimes, seem to hate on band/artist who play shows long after there prime or even long after they even matter musically. But for a show like this I will absolutely be there. WHY? because when Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols came out i was still two years from being born. So, If they were better in Manc in '78 and thats the memory you'd like to go with cool, but I'll have to settle for 930 club in aug.

I think they can charge just about anything they want and get away with it at a small place like 9:30 Club.  They can charge 30-40 dollars, and that would be nice.  But if they charge fifty or sixty bucks, it will sell out just the same.  They can charge 100 bucks and it will sell in just about any club.  They will charge what they can get as artists.  I'd love to see some respect for their fans, but who sees that anymore?  If they do ridiculously overcharge, I hope to see some of the larger venues on their tour half-filled.  It served as a lesson to Peter Gabriel last fall when he charged 130 bucks a pop to see his bloated ass on stage.

Yes, Billie Holiday and Hank Williams both died before I was born. I wish I had been able to see them both.

i was born in '78...my parents have told me that they used to call me 'baby rotten' after johnny rotten
 
 not taht they were fans or anything (i grew up listening to john denver), i think they had just read about the sex pistols or soemthing and thought it was funny
 
 man, now that i think about it, that's traumatizing

$40 for the Pistols vs $35 for the Human League.
 
 I know where my money will be going.....

 $40 is a steal for the Pistols at 930. Good job Seth, thanks.

Disgustingly, I'm in agreement with Markie, errr, Andrew on this one - nice job landing the Pistols at such a small venue.  I will have moved by then, and can pay $50 to see them at the Joint in Vegas so stop your bitching.
 
 Venerable, they're not playing the Fillmore in SF, opting for the Warfield.  I've never been there - any thoughts?

I'm not saying that the Sex Pistols will be good, but some of the best shows I've seen this year were by old guys -- Paul Weller, Mission of Burma, X, even Henry Rollins is north of 40.

let's see. . .only been to the warfield once. . .think of an old movie house or theatre, with three levels of seating, although the floor has no seating, but it's very small.  it's where jerry garcia and david grisham (sp?) practically lived for 3 years.  fillmore is a much better venue, imho, and it would have been great to see the pistols play at the fillmore just for history sakes.
 
 also, the warfield is right on market street in downtown (if memory serves correctly), so you'll probably have to pay for garage parking and not street (like at the fillmore).

Remember this ladies, the "more mature" men can rock your world harder than the spring chickens!

Perhaps, but they can only "tour" every couple of years....

Cheers (as usual - when you get tired of me asking about No Cal, just let me know).  I'll go to Vegas and see them.
