Sex Pistols

In January 1978, the Sex Pistols were navigating a tumultuous phase following the release of their iconic debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," which had come out in October 1977. By the time of the live recording at the Longhorn, the band was at the zenith of its notoriety, having stirred controversy over their aggressive punk sound and rebellious attitude. The concert setlist included several tracks from their debut album, such as "Anarchy in the U.K." and "Holidays in the Sun," highlighting their distinctive style that both defined and challenged the music scene of that era. Interestingly, this performance took place after the band had already faced significant media scrutiny and internal conflict, which would soon lead to their disbandment later that year. This recording captures the raw energy and defiance that the Sex Pistols became synonymous with, encapsulating a pivotal moment in punk rock history.
