YEES! i have been hunting for footage of this day/night for years! See, I WAS THERE as a kid of one of those on strike and it was constant laughing, laughing and laughter, Honestly, forget the fact is was the Pistols, as a kid i'd heard the name (I was 10) but it was the fun and safety, togetherness, fun that was ace... I heard the music and all the kids took it in the stride dancing and screaming.. brilliant. never forgotten what the lads did that day. never mind the bullshit, each member of the band was ace.. thanks guys if you c this. RIP kind, fun Sid. A friend x
I've heard him say in an interview that it was kind of both sides of the argument. He said that he didn't like the idea of killing an unborn child but he also hated the idea of bringing a child into a world where no one is going to give a fuck about him/her.
This is from the album,they were careful not to use bad language with the kids. Later that night they played for the adults. Awesome party for those kids.
The kids knew it was a show. Johnny Rotten is a Character. I was sitting with my Mom a few weeks before she died, and Johnny was being interviewed and was talking about taking care his wife when the interviewer asked why he didn't hire someone to care of his wife for him. He looked straight at the camera and said, "Because I love her so much". I looked at my Mom (she was have hypoxic dementia by this time) , when she said, "I guess Johnny isn't so Rotten". I actually encouraged me to stay longer to help her, even though my wife and two youngest were at our home in Asia.
amen! being there as a poor kid was even better. safest place i ever been outside of home! TRUTH. Me n my sisteer had pie all over us and others. Plus we ate too much cake!!!!
That album was so raw and full of pure angst. Masterpiece imo and Steve Jones guitar work and tone was absolutley awesome. I still play those songs on guitar once the beer kicks in and I'm 50 lol
This has been my fav song since 1978. I'm 58 years married and my walls are covered with Pistols The verses are completely ruthless, it's such a shame that they ended after just one album
Hate to burst your bubble, but I'm quite confident that that wasn't what they were dancing to. The music was superimposed during the making of the movie (Filth and the Fury).
@@davesmith1553 They did play Bodies at both performances at this venue, but for the earlier performance (for the kids) Rotten sang it without the swearing.
I first heard this on a beat up old tape my coworker in a cafeteria slop room loaned me in 1985. I never heard music or society the same way. As I finish my PhD in literature (Shakespeare), I find that no artist has written so eloquently or with as much pathos about a woman and a child. Brilliant. Thanks guys.
@@peternicklin2693 Suprisingly it went down pretty well with the parents from what I heard. Lydon says that many of them changed their views on the Pistols and they thought it was nice of them to throw a party for the less fortunate kids.
I was a teenager when all this happened. The British working class were being persecuted and oppressed beyond toleration.. The Sex Pistols where one of the very few ,who put there necks on the line for the Northern Monkeys..They recognised and seen the assault on honest working class people. The media will never tell you about this.. Kudos The Sex Pistols and John Lydon . Maximum respect...
I need to look into modern British history more, I feel like its infinitely more dark than French modern history. And could it explain why Britain has the rage for creating the best goddarn art.. probably (Did you follow the pistols back then?)
Ya know... I'm 60 now... A lot has happened in the world since the Pistols arrived. And if you're paying attention, some of us have learned a lot more in the past two years that have answered a lot of questions and placed things into proper context. I like the Sex Pistols more now than I did then because... As I listen to their lyrics... it dawns on me that much of what we're just figuring out... They already knew. This video proves to me that probably no band was more misunderstood than the Sex Pistols. Maybe because of their presentation or their cantankerous off stage antics... The helplessness of addiction... But every song had a purpose... Drawing attention to the things they saw that was wrong with special emphasis on the UK. I'm rambling a bit... But do you see it? They knew the true lineage of the Monarchy... They knew how many abortions and about Jimmy Saville... They knew the game that had to be played for stardom in the music industry... And they weren't buying any of it!
Amazing....getting a slice of cake from Johnny Rotten and your older sister trying to chat up Sidney Vicious and him saying he already has a girlfriend. Its like an amazing dream....its so wholesome.....the kids went home and the all adults danced to Bodies......XD once in a lifetime. Greatest Christmas kids party ever.
@ol‘timmer moler Yes he is known for dressing up in a costume and even getting on the ground to do whatever activities the kids are doing with them. Heck as a teen he once worked in a daycare which he really loved but was pushed out of the job because of his looks (green hair,rotten teeth,ect).
or should i say 1/10 of hundreads years later nothing happened or century -You know secret corporate mergers happends after 10 years when they buying company just kills off all the rest of the bought company nomatter what they promised -thats a long time for wall street guys
The Pistols looked so happy!! Those were some lucky kiddos! A cool Tshirt, scarf, LP too? food and a free concert by The Sex Pistols. Wish I had been there.👍🥰
Probably my favourite Pistols song - it’s ability to be completely dark while at the same time highly anthemic is unmatched in anything I’ve heard since….
This is about my Nan called Pauline, she was a fan and she is from birmigham and she has schizophrenia, she is still alive but missing as she escaped from a mental hospital today! I still can’t believe a song is about her! I would like to say this isn’t a joke, I am honest
In his own words, Johnny Rotten, who is by my account, a gifted songwriter, told us all exactly what the Sex Pistols were all about: CHAOS. In a nutshell. That they made some great songs - actual music - made them even better. Without a doubt they changed the face of it all - culturally, socially, and boldly and given that, regardless of their controversial material and personal tragedies of some, remain one of the greatest bands ever for their work.
No te falta razón acerca del sello que sex pistols dejaron en el mundo de la música, el arte, la moda etc... Pero da asco ver cómo hoy día Lydon es un sucio conservador que roza la ultra derecha y repudia el legado de sus compañeros. Mejor es que se estuviera callado.
I bought never mind the bollocks, played it in the car going home from the airport, I found out that my step dad loves the sex pistols and has the never ins the bollocks vinyl. My step dad is fucking awesome
I saw the Pistols here in San Antonio in 1978. My dad took me because he was a fan. It was a fucking mess. They booked them at a Honky Tonk! LOL! Its like in "The Blues Brothers" when they are booked at "Bob's Country Bunker" Chaos ensued! I was 10yrs old and loved it. I also saw AC/DC with Bon Scott a few months before he died. He was drunk AF and only played 30 minutes because some drunk A-hole threw a beer bottle at him and cut open his head. TRUE TEXAS stories from when I was 10-11. Saw Motley Crue in 1983 when I was 15. Ticket cost 4 dollars. Good times!
@ Daria Andreeva I agree with your sentiments, that was a great documentary last night on BBC4 'Never Mind The Baubles: Xmas '77 With The Sex Pistols' It certainly was about time more of that Huddersfield footage was finally released for those interested enough to watch it, Like John said, "that footage has been locked away in a vault for far too long"
i was 10 years old ... rode me skateboard in Berlin (86) ...where i still live and listened to the Pistols Ramones Toy Dolls ect... changed me live for the better...
As i teacher i was telling kids "gather round now, we're going to read a book called Green Eggs and Ham" meanwhile at another place on the planet the Sex Pistols were saying "gather round now, we're going to play a song for you called BODIES"
When I was 12 in 1982 I found a tape cassette TDK90 with never mind the bollocks recorded on it and have never looked back, 54 now and still punk. What makes a 12-year-old kid find himself and be so passionate about a punk band at that age.
The real Punk will never die cause his mentality survives in the heart of those who really knew. I have 50 years I m belgian and I m always of this mentality

Great job on this video. In 1979, when I was 15 and got my Bollocks cassette, the Sex Pistols were spoken of in the same kind of language reserved for Al Qaeda today. Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten were made out to be some kind of bogeymen. Your video should dispel any such remaining notions.
Thank you John Lydon for bringing to the fore the subject of abortion. No one else has had the guts to have done this before, or since. 500 to 700 elective abortions are carried out every day, and this fact is not up for discussion. Brave man. Great song, loathed by many, who can't face reality.

i had a mate who was there . he wasnt into the pistols but told us that jonny gave him a skateboard ,we all laughed at the liar at that time. He said it was in Huddersfield and we laughed !!!!! as if the postols would play a kids party !!!!! little did we know. we just assumed his mum had bought the skateboard and he was trying to fit in with us.
they gave shit away and lots of cake! anyone who was there knows what i mean... best day of my life still all these years latter. I was 10ish and my dad was on strike.
@@jacobmoon7342 Yes my mate would of been around that age. He was younger than us and always tried to impress us so we thought he was bullshitting us ,it wasnt untill the internet that i found out about this. I dont think his dad was a fireman though and he lived in wakefield but he must of been there. There was no way his family could afford a top of the range skateboard like he got. This was the last gig they played in england before they went to America and split up . you was part of history my friend.
ha ha fantastic... thanks for sharing that.. F8 best day ever.. the pistols were like energy... all the starving hyper strike kids LOVED THEM!!! and we went mad when they even did the first chord. cheers and keep the faith my friend :)
❤ Many people round the world owe their gratitude to the sex pistols for their performances. A big Figure up, at the British elitist aristocracy class, at this point in time. “No future” vision for the youth of Britain and countries of the Commonwealth youth generation felt the same as these brilliant British lads. Echoes, Ripple effects was applauded by our youth worldwide 👏 throwing off the shackles of British classist divided culture
Watch "Never Mind the Baubles - Xmas. with the Sex Pistols at Huddersfield Ivanhoe's" for the ORIGINAL audio and footage of both the matinée gig for children and the later night gig for regular punks!
WOW, the memories. In 1987 my school friend gave me this song I was 11, I came home & played it full volume in my bedroom on a Sanyo cassette player, then, my Mum came it smashed the cassette player against the wall and beat the shit out of me for playing such 'Vulgar Music" Subsequently I was made to go to Mass and repent to our local parish priest & got grounded for the school holidays & thus in turn my LIFE LONG LOVE for the Sex Pistols began..
@rene8564 Good comment, I totally agree with what you say about Johnny & Sid and how they were portrayed in the public eye. And even though back then was more of a somewhat simplistic time period, it does go to show how people can be terrified of something they don't understand, and that of somebody who doesn't fit in with 'the norm' of those who are more akin with the so-called 'moral majority'. Glad you like the video ;-)
Still my favorite pistols song after all these years. Fantastic
that intro is so badass I loved it

People take this for granted. Name me one album before this that was born of rage from start to end. Every song is angry.
This song being played to a bunch of kids is the perfect distillation of Gen X. Love it.

This is one of the best videos ever
Love how jonh is actually a cool guy when he tries it
Never in a million years would have thought that Johnny is great with kids haha
He even said to Sid that cool it down because of the kids. He still loves working class heroes and their children… .
i had a mate who was there . he wasnt into the pistols but told us that jonny gave him a skateboard ,we all laughed at the liar at that time. He said it was in Huddersfield and we laughed !!!!! as if the postols would play a kids party !!!!! little did we know. we just assumed his mum had bought the skateboard and he was trying to fit in with us.
they gave shit away and lots of cake! anyone who was there knows what i mean... best day of my life still all these years latter. I was 10ish and my dad was on strike.
@@jacobmoon7342 Yes my mate would of been around that age. He was younger than us and always tried to impress us so we thought he was bullshitting us ,it wasnt untill the internet that i found out about this. I dont think his dad was a fireman though and he lived in wakefield but he must of been there. There was no way his family could afford a top of the range skateboard like he got. This was the last gig they played in england before they went to America and split up . you was part of history my friend.
ha ha fantastic... thanks for sharing that.. F8 best day ever.. the pistols were like energy... all the starving hyper strike kids LOVED THEM!!! and we went mad when they even did the first chord. cheers and keep the faith my friend :)
❤ Many people round the world owe their gratitude to the sex pistols for their performances. A big Figure up, at the British elitist aristocracy class, at this point in time. “No future” vision for the youth of Britain and countries of the Commonwealth youth generation felt the same as these brilliant British lads. Echoes, Ripple effects was applauded by our youth worldwide 👏 throwing off the shackles of British classist divided culture
It’s just so brilliant
Watch "Never Mind the Baubles - Xmas. with the Sex Pistols at Huddersfield Ivanhoe's" for the ORIGINAL audio and footage of both the matinée gig for children and the later night gig for regular punks!
One of the greatest rock songs ever.
PUNKKK**
I just moved into a new house and played this full blast.
This was the pistols I wanted to see, just being humble and kind to everyone rather than what they were painted out to be.
THEY STOOD FOR ALL THAT WAS RIGHT MADE ONE INCREDIBLE ALBUM AND THEN FUCKED OFF. GENIUS. THE CLASH MADE INCREDIBLE MUSIC BUT THE PISTOLS MADE HISTORY.
there's no such thing as the greatest video on youtube, except this is it
WOW, the memories. In 1987 my school friend gave me this song I was 11, I came home & played it full volume in my bedroom on a Sanyo cassette player, then, my Mum came it smashed the cassette player against the wall and beat the shit out of me for playing such 'Vulgar Music" Subsequently I was made to go to Mass and repent to our local parish priest & got grounded for the school holidays & thus in turn my LIFE LONG LOVE for the Sex Pistols began..
👍🏼!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣..fuckn' brilliant!🇮🇪
The footage from this comes from a documentary called Never Mind The Baubles - Christmas '77 with The Sex Pistols, it's on UA-cam.
Imagine getting a cake from Johnny Rotten
Don't eat his corned beaf!
I'm from Huddersfield. I love John Lydon
Any punks here in 2024
Ha ha 1977. I was 10. to ! (Thanks for Posting this Clip).
Greatest song of all time.
priceless footage, nice editing. thanks
John is one of my heroes
I don't think there will ever be a band like the Sex Pistols again.
@rene8564 Good comment, I totally agree with what you say about Johnny & Sid and how they were portrayed in the public eye. And even though back then was more of a somewhat simplistic time period, it does go to show how people can be terrified of something they don't understand, and that of somebody who doesn't fit in with 'the norm' of those who are more akin with the so-called 'moral majority'.
Glad you like the video ;-)
GOD BLESS THE US SCOTUS! WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR LIFE!
The best day care center in history!......lucky kids!
