Bodies - Sex Pistols, Birmingham Academy 11th June 2008

[clockwolf]

Massive credit to the Pistols for not choosing London for this 'warm up' gig. About time us lot north of Watford Gap got to see a little bit of history being made. ;-)

[Vancat]

Ouch...what a feeling...thanks!!

[0wnalot]

im only 17 but ive been a sex pistols fan 4 years and i was lucky enough to be at this concert and it was abserlootly ace

[clockwolf]

Best band ever weren't they?

End of story.

[taylordeanTJ]

[clockwolf]

Only needed one. :-)

[taylordeanTJ]

haha, so true, theyre work is done

[clockwolf]

No one will ever see a gig like this one. This was awesome. Best gig I've seen in 30 years. You had to be there!!!!

[blo75]

O_o You're right! lol Doesnt even look like a girl.. XD 6

[georgeman55]

haha, i was at this gig,fucking amazing, i'll never re-live that moment :(

beer flying everywhere,one problem was it was soo fucking hot in that room...does anyone agree??

[clockwolf]

No one will mate, that was the best gig ever and ive been to over 1200, seen pistols before too, top quality.

[orangie84]

And they say punk is dead..

It's not and it will be back with a vengeance!

And this time the others will all bow..

You will know when the time has come..

When punk groups smash the audio filters and trash the digital processors as they say f__ perfection. When they pick up real instruments and tell everyone to F off and say we are god we do what we want and everyone follows. That's when punk is officially back.. Johnny is keeping the root alive and one day it will sprout again.

[taylordeanTJ]

punks gone dude :(

[jones361361]

they will never play a venue this small again. it was the best gig ive ever been to. we were all very lucky to have shared this very special evening together. amaazing.

lmao

[CraigVil]

hi mate, great gig or what? was just wondering what camera or phone u used for these vids cos the audio and picture is great!

[bloater999]

Cheers - you're right the camera is great although you might notice I can't zoom which is a pain. The camera is a 3 year old Sony T9. Elsewhere I do use a 'better' camera (with zoom!) but the sound quality is nowhere near as good, and this camera is very compact so doesn't annoy other people around you!

But end my advert there - mind you I'm pretty proud of my Ruts videos which are also posted!

[lifeisprecocious]

anyone can tell me what people scream at beganing of the video? and who johnny called cunt? tanks...my english is crap!

[bloater999]

Their chanting "You Fat Bastard!" so Johnny implies they are actually talking about an old English footballer 'Gazza' who he calls a c*** as he played for Spurs when Lydon supports Arsenal....

[lifeisprecocious]

tank you mate! i didnt know gazza! but i know that there are brasilians palying at arsenal! u went the gig? great show! cheers

[bloater999]

It was a brilliant show - I took these vids

Cheers

[gazcrash182]

it was a awsome night seen em 4 times now this was the best small inimate n sweaty

[televisionsover]

Another cracker Al - great work under the conditions! A great memory of a brilliant gig - closest you'll ever get to 1977 without a time machine!

[bloater999]

Amazing in the space of a year we've had 3 of the greatest gigs ever; TV Smith at the 100 Club, the Ruts with Rollins and now the Pistols...

Punk's not dead; just a bit flabby (except for TV!!) but otherwised in rude health!

[BBCNEWS151]

facking brillianttt

[newpsan]

Seen most of the old skool punks but this gig has topped them all.

Loud, cramped and sweaty - just how it should be.

Truly an "I was there" moment.

[123neil074]

Best gig i eva bin 2!

[Magnetoman69]

It doesn't get any better than the Pistols in Birmingham. They looked like they were havin a blast. Every cunt in the crowd had a stoopid grin on his face ... I reckon that says it all. Long live the Sex pistols!

[bricuth]

i agree with all the comments the pistols were effin ace it was hot as hell sweat and beer everywhere but it was worth it wot a nite hope they come again cheers to everyone i met there great nite john was awesome )

[snottynosekev]

what a nite shame we cant get to see a few more old bands breath of fresh air to hear sum good music. much better last nite than 2002 pistols in the palace dont u think.

[lydonfan]

I loved this show...what a night!!

great footage mate

[herrkamel]

Last night I was in the English City of Birmingham. The Carling Academy Birmingham.

ohh yes Sex Pistols Live !

Amazing night, a much smaller venue then usual, which made the gig even better !

Danke Birmingham Leute ! Great Crowd !

I had the biggest smile when Dame Vera Lynn blasted out, kicking off the gig !

LOL the amount of beer that went in the air was like a beer monsoon. The heat in the place was uber Hot. Und I mean Mental Hot !

Fantastic night, Thanks Birmingham.

[Tranzam1]

Great Footage What a night

This is where Punk Should be in clubs not in huge outdoor festivals or arenas

Crowd was awesome, great atmosphere you don't get in arenas.Long Live Punk Rock

[piercedandproud]

excellent evening

[blackinjac]

The doubters will have their say, but you really had to be there ! The Pistols were awesome , the crowd went mental, i have seen dozens of gigs at the Academy, never seen a fog develop inside before ! Long live the Pistols, and lets hope we see them in Brum again . {And loud as fcuk...}Top tune..No Fun..incredible..

[bloater999]

Agreed No Fun was brilliant - sadly never caught that one on camera - although I suspect others have!
