Sex Pistols- the rotters sell out.

 makes the thing sound good. I am starting to get so excitedThat I already have on have my white bondage shorts, along with my "for soldiers prostiutes dykes and punks t-shirt".

This is gonna be such a hit or miss show, but just the fact that i never expected to see them in my lifetime makes it worth it.

hit

[Guiny]

Defenite hit!!!!!!!!!!!! Great show!!!!!!! Put all those new punk wannabee bands to shame.

[Sir HC]

Hit.  I thought they played a great set, sounded great, were pretty much spot on for all the songs.  Johnny was in great form.

[Mobius]

Walk-off home run to beat the Yankees.

[jadetree]

Great show, and best of all I get to relive it today with my aches and pains and ringing ears, was a lot of fun on the floor.

[ggw]

The show was excellent.  After the '96 debacle and the lukewarm review of the Boston show, my expectations were kind of low, but were handily exceeded.  I'm far less sore than I expected I would be.

How long was their set? I wish I would have gone, but $40 was a little steep for a band that I didn't get to see when they first came out (damn that being in a younger demographic) and one that I was a bit ambivalent about seeing live. What songs did they play? Did Mr. Rotten himself have any sassy comments? Do tell.

Pretty much the entire "Nevermind the Bullocks" plus "No Fun" and "Belsen was a Gas"...John was in fine sneering bug eyed form, not sure what he had against that one bouncer though, cared enough to run over and tap him on the shoulder and berate him...heh...

the only great bit of the show for me was at the end of anarchy.....
 
 the crowd was all singing along.....
 
 "cos I want to be anarchy"
 
 and Jonny goes, "well why fucking dontcha then"
 
 I think they played the whole of never mind the bollocks and not much else.
 
 What happened to GGW, one minute he was towering over me, the next, he was gone. I am really sore today joining the melee with sunburn was really one of the most painful things I have done in a while.

Show clocked in at 1 hour.  I didn't think it was that loud, great volume for the club, but didn't go over the top.  Now if the original PIL would tour I would be in heaven.

the love handled ones need to back in the studio and put a new record out... the establishment could really use a sex pistols provided kick up the backside.  and didn't steve jones's guitar sound ace through the 9:30 sound system...  johnny was in fine grimacing form as well and what a rhythm section.

[Sir HC]

Jones' guitar through the 9:30 system?  Most of that was friggin' stage volume.  He plays LOUD!  But they made it sound great.  Just plugged into the amp, no pedals.
