That Queen of theirs must be a cyborg because she's going to outlive the whole band lol.

Massive guitar sound.

[Rigsbymortisful]

steve sounds pissed trying to tune up

[surge2k7]

Punk in Dallas or Atlanta? Wow

[DanManThePurple]

Nevermind the Bollocks is way too produced, that's why I'm here :)

[evilinside00]

Great tune, check out my short animation 'God Save The Queen (ANIMATED CRAP)' inspired by this song for a bit of a laugh

[5671ah]

was this at the Masquerade?

[QuietReckoning]

This one goes out to William and Kate on their special day.

[stratobagster]

It's supposed to be awful. That's why it's great.

[MrWinestyle]

Legend!

[BSGbarberkris]

Hey Napoleonkuryakin...you bloody wanker...punk rock stated in the states...sorry to burst your Anglo bubble,,,,,try Fortunate Son by CCR ,,or Iggy Pop and The Stooges,,,

[malejmates]

@BSGbarberkris Stooges or velvet underground aint no punk rock, Punk as a culture started in UK in 50-60s but later the guys in the US "did it theeeeeeeiir waaaaaay"

[BSGbarberkris]

@malejmates shhhaaaa right...and monkeys will come flying out of our butts....

[BSGbarberkris]

@malejmates Ive been doing punk rock for 27 years..you see it as a time based movement...I see it as protest or non conformity...

[DropTheLeashUK]

@BSGbarberkris I see it as a load of fucking shit designed so musicians of negligible talent could gain access to the mainstream. Everyone pretends it's great just because they wanted to be part of something. Really sad.

[BSGbarberkris]

@DropTheLeashUK I hear what your saying don't get me wrong..but some of us prefer to listen to that negligible talents as we appreciate the non conformity and less polished rawness that it sometimes has....

[grizzle100]

@DropTheLeashUK

its a strong song but by this time they hated each other, had changed line up and didn't like the US enuff said

[babamuna66]

Living in Miley Bieber land in 2010 I can't believe music didn't always suck! Thank you for posting!

[Napoleonkuryakin]

Ps: A message 2 the Yanks, Punk was started in England, Fuck the New York Dolls, The Pistols took u all 2 the cleaners!

[Radioactive1080z]

@Napoleonkuryakin yeah that's pretty true

[Napoleonkuryakin]

To All the CUNTS out there who just have 2 repeat what the artist says like they've got some connection just Fuck Off ya a bunch if cocksuckers tryin 2 live off others Fuck Off!

[devildogroot]

It was Jan 5th 1978 at the Great Southeast Music Hall....I know ...I was there...

[grahammj]

@devildogroot so you must have seen michael stipe running around.

[Epson824]

Well, my name is John and this is the, uh... Sex Pistols.

[R4NDOM4CT1]

Has anyone posted Silly Thing, that is fuckin class!

[punklexos77]

4:16 is the bass playing blitzkrieg bop intro ?

[orangie84]

ya it sure the hell sounded like it..

Damn that would have rocked had they actually played that back then

[inky9eyed9loveboy]

I saw them in Tulsa 1978 . .. better playing by a long shot...don't know what Steve's trying to do here . . . he played the regular riffs in Tulsa . . . but anyway greatest band in the world as anyone who saw them would tell you!

[tatethompson1234]

his white and black les paul custom were coming out of tune constantly,i don't know if its because of the climate or something. It was winter so it could of been. This is my favorite version out of the usa tour,I got this gig,baton rouge,winterland,san antonio,dallas usa gigs. To me this one is the best

[inky9eyed9loveboy]

just found your post -- thanks for replying -- yeh the Tulsa one the best, do you really have a copy?

[tatethompson1234]

Their is no audio full bootleg for Tulsa,theirs only footage of bits of it with overdubbed audio from winterland. I have Baton Rouge,Winterland,Longhorn,Atla­nta,San Antonio. USA tour for the pistols was funny,not one gig did they sound alike,Steve's guitars were tuned,then out of tune,their audience mic'd so some gigs sound heavy then some not so. The Baton Rouge gig is funny,the audience actualy were singing alot to most of the songs,like EMI they were doing the chorus for the pistols haha

[fakeis751]

"well, my name is john, and this is..emm.. the sex pistols."

so fucking great

[SBull10152]

Seeing them that night was the most powerful thing I have ever seen in my 52 years....saw them in Boston in the 2000's and it was ENTIRELY different...they seem to be joking now...back then they meant it!.....

[tatethompson1234]

I seen them on the north american piss off tour in boston also! haha fucking awsome gig

[SBull10152]

I was there this night...special guest of the band...its a long story......

[TMalltheway]

Not to sound like a dick but your wrong,on their interview with Bill Grundy Johmmy Rotten was fucked up on speed,they all did drugs,it was part o the act,thats why Glenn Matlock was kicked out he didnt fit the look

[paulsimonon82]

Yeah, I actually heard it/read it (can't remember) in an interview that he'd been up speeding all night and day before the Grundy-incident, so he felt like shit :P

[mdzthopunx]

save!?

[punkrockenpunk]

oh your right me da said he was at both gigs and they played god save the queen and i wanna be me at texas aswell but its not filmed and yeh that woman did throw it at sid but me da said his friend threw something at sid maybe it hit him maybe it didnt but he defo threw something

[sugarfreemacca]

the atlanta gig was one of the boys very worst gigs, which for me, means very best.

[DropTheLeashUK]

@sugarfreemacca Stop trying to be clever.

[chifour66]

@sugarfreemacca I was there. It was awesomely awful.

[rejectedgtr13]

notice the enthusiasm the sex pistols have here, their first america tour date, than at winterland. They got sick of each other almost overnight.

[markusa]

hellen killer threw the bottlwe at sid and it was not at this gig.

[punkrockenpunk]

dis is actually in dallas texas i tink in the longhorn ballroom and yeh steve broke 2 strings 1 during i wanna be me and the other in no fun i wasnt there as im too young but my dad and sum friends went to america for there tour his friend threw the bottle at sid or can

[VacantPistol]

Nope. This is from the Atlanta gig. I have GTSQ from the Longhorn and it is not this one.

[dx11rebeldredds]

could you upload GSTQ from the longhorn ballroom? its pretty hard to find, for me at least...

[VacantPistol]

HI mate, I've already uploaded it in my profile!

[dx11rebeldredds]

this is a delayed and highly enthusiastic thank you, apparently theres a trend of sid getting steadily turned down as each gig progresses

[EverSoTired]

@VacantPistol ... do you know the venue in atlanta where this was played?

[TheClassicpunk1]

@punkrockenpunk if i were you're dad, i would of kicked the shit out of the faggot who threw thew bottle at sid

[sssaffron1]

yet his tone is fuckin unbelievable !!!!!!

[aintpluggedin]

steve's guitar is hopelessly rocknroll ( I mean that as a good thing )

[tatethompson1234]

i have this cd steve played so bad in this gig haha one of guitar strings snapped on his black les paul.
