Sex Pistols

On January 10, 1978, the Sex Pistols performed live at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, during a tumultuous period in their career. This performance followed their only studio album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," which was released in 1977 and became a seminal record in the punk rock genre. By the time of the Dallas concert, the band was grappling with internal conflicts and a lack of cohesion, as well as growing public scrutiny. Notably, this era saw the Pistols touring in the United States as part of their controversial tour, which drew mixed reactions from audiences and critics alike. The live footage captures their raw energy and defiance, epitomizing the band’s impact on punk culture—especially evident in the intensity of songs like "Bodies." The performance was part of what would be a rapidly declining phase in their trajectory, as they disbanded later that year.
