"They said no one could be more bizarre than Alice Cooper, or more destructive than Kiss... they have not seen the Sex Pistols. Tuesday night, Stone City Attractions presents live, the Sex Pistols. Banned in their own home country, England's Sex Pistols, denied admittance to the United States, the Sex Pistols bring the new wave to the Metroplex this Tuesday night, in the Longhorn Ballroom. They said it couldn't happen, but it happens Tuesday night: the Sex Pistols, live." - Radio promo
By this point in the tour, Sid Vicious, the least talented member of the band, was receiving most of the attention onstage. Other members of the band were getting fed up with his narcissistic attitude. Before the show, Steve threatened to punch him for focusing on himself and not the music. Sid hit the bottle hard before the show tonight. Being in Texas once again, he and Johnny found it appropriate to mock the "cowboys" in attendance. About half of the 1,800 in the crowd were fans, and the other half were country & western fans defending their territory against these British punks. There were also about 100 police on hand.
Tonight's performance was more of a circus than a rock show, a love-fest compared to the volatile San Antonio show. John wore an ugly pink shirt and a black glove for most of the show, while Steve wore all black, including boots, spurs, and a sheriff's star. With "Gimme a Fix" on his bare chest, Sid barely played his bass and seemed more interested in jumping around instead of performing music. Plastic cups and other assorted objects flew toward the stage for the duration of the performance. (No glass bottles were sold.) The show was all about spectacle; music was secondary.
At the end of "Holidays in the Sun," Sid got head-butted by a overzealous fan and received a bloody nose. Instead of wiping up the mess, he let the blood flow down his body, smearing it on his face and spitting it into the crowd. Johnny remarked, "Look at that... a living circus." During "Pretty Vacant," Sid took a broken bottle and vehemently carved his chest. Iggy would've been proud. He removed the pus-soaked bandage from his arm and threw it into the hapless crowd. The other band members continued the show. Although he contributed next to nothing musically, Sid knew he was stealing Johnny Rotten's limelight, which was more important to him at that point.
After a blistering version of "Anarchy in the U.S.A.," the band left the stage, and, surprisingly, the crowd yelled for more. As the band reappeared for an encore, Sid showed the audience an obscene gesture and Steve yelled, "You must be mad to want more of us!" In the middle of "No Fun," Steve confronted a heckler by throwing a couple punches and jabbing him with the headstock of his guitar.
The next morning, the Dallas newspaper read: "Most of the people last night came to see the people who came to see the Sex Pistols."
John Lydon was written off as a yob by the 1970's class-ridden press.....he was rather bright. History has proved that.

I wanna do that now!
Please record and report back :)

Yeah I'm afraid you can't anymore. EMI has broken up in 2012
I would Die laughing
The sound quality is incredible on this!Love when Johnny goes mental!
Always loved this song for its clever lyrics about the recors industry which still applies today
Ironic that many Sex Pistols videos on UA-cam have been removed by EMI
They were all just moneymaking.
Goodbye
They only did it cause of fame.
MAGNIFICENCE!
John shredding his larynx to bits again!
Vocals are unbelievable.
He was plugged in for the start of the show and very loud during God Save The Queen. They turned him down, and then during Bodies, Steve rips out Sids cable from his bass.
Jdksksksks exacto
When you put your safety at risk as the norm.Totaly unfiltered,nothing like that now.
Years later I relisten to Never mind the bollocks. ..the lyrics are great. ..the playing is great. ..it's an unbelievable album for a Bunch of Kids. ..this is av great track and Bodies also...
I listen to everything from Sara McLachlan to Slayer, 50s music, glam, you name it. The Bollocks record is a truly great rock and roll album. It's in my top 5. The passion, urgency... Fantastic.
When EMI dropped Mariah Carey after the "Glitter" fiasco, I took the time to write her a fan letter, suggesting that she sing a cover of the Pistols' "EMI" to restart her career. She didn't write back.
That's cool as heck!
😂😂😂
That clip is now over 39 YEARS OLD, and I just saw it for the first time. And you know what...IT WAS AWESOME!
nicely done, sexpisolsliveee!
I think is the most amusing song ever! i find myself singing this song randomly all the time :)
Kirby Little
fuck off you fucking rotter piss off or ill piss all over you
Missing Glen Matlock here! Obviously ! RIP SID! dx
im a guitarest in a punk band. the sex pistols is one of our major influences. steve jones inspired my guitar playing and sid made me bring out the badass side of me
STUNNINGLY AWESOME!!!!! WERD!!!
The reaction of the audience tells a story
Man, that low end holding it all together.
Those guys were tough
BALLS!!! What an exhibition. A FU still reverberating today. Only a fool would attempt to kill it. Undeniable...
wow! The house is shaking because the bass is so loud...
And its damn excellent 😑
@JohnnyChristttt Thanks!! Wow, you're the first person i've heard who agrees with me completely on the Sex Pistols' brilliance. It's nice to hear of a musician who actually is influenced by Sid's bass playing. And he COULD sing- and i'm a classically trained singer, so I know. Besides that he had a great stage presence and theatrical aspect to his singing. * ))
@JohnnyChristttt Finally someone else besides me who loves Sid and recognizes his greatness!!
What's all rubbish about Sid not able to play bass? Great job by Sid. So tight with Jones you'd think his amp was off and you couldn't hear him playing at all. Simply amazing.
It was off. If you watch Bodies he turns it on then Steve stops mid song to turn it off
@@thrillathakilla The guy was being sarcastic
EMI REALLY fucked up dropping The Sex Pistols, with their subsequent success making this revenge work all the sweeter to sing GOODBYE EMI!
Bet the regretted that decision
This is epic.
sex pistols piss all over the clash etc for me. they always seemed more genuine to me. i like how this song is just a blatant attack. simple, no nonsense lol
You're joking right? Sex Pistols were a manufactured punk band, unlike the Clash. And the Pistols only had one album. I love both bands, but The Clash were much more talented and genuine. Yes, Joe Strummer came from an upper middle class family, and he changed his style a few times, but they were still the real thing, and all of their albums were great except for Combat Rock and Cut the Crap. But Combat Rock had some great songs and Cut The Crap, even without Mick and Topper could have been great if Bernie Rhodes hadn't screwed up the production and used a drum machine.
danielscissorhands I respect the clash as songwriters and musicians. They are a good band. I always found the sex pistols weird and challenging. you can say they were manufactured in a sense but they didnt have songwriters and noone could manufacture a band like that. I think the sex pistols are more than just a good band. they epitomise an era and a frustration that the clash never did for me. to me the clash sound like they are trying to be part of a scene but the pistols were creating it
Fuck the Clash how can you even call them punk
Fuck man I wish Sid wasn't gone
Sid was a gimmick he could not play a god dang note to save his life
+Thomas Warren are you enjoying the bass in this live version?
i
What the hell are you talking about? Use your ears it clear as day here.
Not true, urban myth. He was on many of the tracks and learned the instrument quickly. He was just too doped up to do it well. But none of them play well, which is the point of the band. It's fun. And Sid was fun. No Sid, no Sex Pistols.
Watch The Filth and Fury, read "No Dogs, No Blacks, No Irish", read "I was a teenage Sex Pistol" and most of all, and I can't stress this enough, stop listening to Blink 182 and Green Day or get out of the gene pool.
Sid😎
Rest in peace
This the longhorn ballroom footage from the USA tour iv just realised
too bad when they unplugged sid's bass it didn't occur to them to also unplug his mic
mollkatless his voice had me dead.
I like his vocals - esp on Pretty Vacant and Anarchy - in this series.
I can´t hear Sid´s bass - WHY? :-))) think we all know..
Fav pistols song. So raw
Their best song
E.M.I.
Best emi better than ivenhoes
Публика на удивление спокойна..))
A Punk Rock Masterpiece \m/ Hail Sex Pistols
And at this show, Sid Vicious invented the music term "unplugged".
sex pistols the best pank band everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
The Sex pistols were'nt about playing music proficiently. It was about getting in your/their face. Making you FEEL. Punk was about attitude. Pissing off your parents. Getting the knee-jerk reaction. Being REAL. So what if Johhny Rotten was a crummy singer, and Sid couln't play any instrument well. They came across exactly the way they should. Raw, genuine, antagonistic, anti-anything, don't take them home to dinner REAL!! PISS OFF!!!
back then when music was real
é nítido o descontentamento do Jonny Rotten com o Sid Vicious!!! kkkkkkkkkk Viva o rock
My fab band when I was young
Sid🖤
RULED BY NONE....
My favourite song!
Whats sad is that Sids bass is turned off on most of theses vids because he doesn't know where he is.
TX!
@Gavin66627 Sid was turned up for the first 3 songs, then turned way way down then during Bodies, Steve rips Sids cord out of the amp. I have USA tour bootlegs and Sid was plugged in on all of them,some loud some low but you can still hear his bass during solo's
Was he plugged in in Tulsa? We barely have audio so I'm just wondering.
That's one of the few pieces that could have had its place on the first PIL album.
Punx Not dead
fucking brilliant...your channel rocks!!
I keep adjusting the bass on my device and I still cant hear any......
That’s because there is none, it went when Matlock went
. . . Was this always just audio? What happened to the video?
2:02 what happened to that angry voice starting with PiL? even the Pistols reunions... it's gone.
+Cheetah Chrome I know. all he does now is fucking yodel.
age I imagine
Cheetah Thunders., I guess rotten was neutered and spayed and now it's only Lydon left.
@@avsky837 it's funny because it's true.
Souvenirs ! ℒℴѵℯ
they did during early and mid 77 but in later 77 and all of the 78 tour they gave sid his freedom hahaha,steve was known on occasion to turn off or unplug him and sid wouldent know till 2 songs later...should of never got rid of glen hes a great bass player and musician in general
Nice work mate.
].[
Thats me in the front row. I was there with my digital camcorder.
You are one lucky bastard my good sir!!!
Alex Michael Loma
hahahahaha! XD
how was it there??
Where digital camcorders around then? There were tape?
Uploaded it buddy 😎👍
for the first part of the gig it is,i have this gig on record and bootleg cd,has god save the queen,i wanna be me,seventeen,new york and hes on during all of em,hes off an on during this whole gig during bodies steve unplugs him tho
2024 Spotify !
🌬🎸🎸🎸🎸
@MsSaturn3 They werent sloppy,if their was more bass it would sound fuller,I got the booteg of this gig and during god save the queen,I wanna be me sid is full blast.....Longhorn is one of the greatest gigs caught on film as far as im concerned,showed a great rock n roll band going up against the odds,the band played amazing that night
Just goes to show how good Steve Jones was even then because he held that together without any bass from that idiot vicious.
Here´s another video that shows that the bass is really important... this is for the people that dont know a s*** about music and dont hear if the bass is on or it is off...
I love you ❤️❤️❤️
Long live Lydon.
👍
Didn’t they win an award for businessmen of the year from something like the financial times for their deals heh heh
The American shows were not their best.
El PUNK original💂💂💂
E M IDOWN THE PHONE SHOUT
At 1:50 lol
Too many people got the sus??🤨🤨🤨📮📮📮📮
Where are the band chasing speed ?
EMI!!!!!!!!!!!
actually this was their shittiest show ever, but it is their most epic show off all because of all the shit that went on after and cause this show, also if you watch the last song of the gig "no fun" you can watch rotten is actually having no fun and just melts down at the ending and just messes the song as a signal to everyone that hes tired of everything
Wasn't that the Winterland show in San Francisco you're thinking of? (or WERE thinking of 11 years ago?)
Pistols rule!
No, Jonesy went up behind him and turned him off in `Bodies` without him even noticing.
@1Beatlemaniac1 Me 2,Sid is the greatest punk rock legend ever \m/
Nice!
Woof!!

There's an unlimited supply
And there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
They only did it 'cause of fame
Who?

Too many people had the suss

Too many outlets in and out
Who?

And sir and friends are crucified
A day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Ever never ever
And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe that we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal?
Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
Of stupid fools who stand in line
Like

E o senhor e seus amigos são crucificados
Um dia eles desejaram que nós tivéssemos morrido
Nós somos uma soma
Nós não somos comandados por ninguém
Nunca, nunca, nunca
E vocês acharam que estávamos fingindo
Que todos nós só queríamos dinheiro
Vocês não acreditam que somos pra valer
Ou vocês perderiam sua atração barata?
Não julgue um livro pela capa
A menos que você encape outro
E aceitação cega é um sinal
De estúpidos que permanecem na linha

Didn’t Merle Haggard go on after these guys?
Er I dunno , heard something similar 😎👍
MeHole needs a hug
EMI didn't drop Pink Floyd. X)
only The clash (London calling's album) surpassed the sex pistols masterpiece!
in punk's world.
Nah nevermind the bollocks is the ultimate punk record. London calling isn't a punk record, that's just media manipulation of facts. Punk was already dead in 1978.
sid vicious
I am just getting into punk I am 16 any good bands anyone can recommend I need the essentials? So?
Uk Subs , Crass,999 , wire , NOFX , 😎👍
Sex Pistols fuckin rules \m/
2:36
it's actually just unplugged
iemeiii!!!
I'm sure I've heard versions of this with some bass involved however thin it sounded. Is this just a bad audio rip? Or am I wrong and no such version exists?...because of sid not being plugged in or had his nobs turned down or wotnot?...or even could there be a version with post production bass added later that I heard? Because that seems to happen way too much these days! virtually every single live version of the Beatles at any venue you can name that got recorded has post produced audio, often because of audience noise etc. but I don't think there's any real raw live Beatle audio with video that's original. Let's face it, unless the venue is prepared for live recording and you see all the mics at the amps then it's unlikely that without some grand clean up post production crew it's going to be completely unlistenable!!
on house................
Thanks for the text @sexpistolsliveee
Reggaeton (EMI)
One of the first ever manufactured bands.... Ironic..
