Sex Pistols

In 2002, the Sex Pistols were in a unique phase of their career, marked by a reunion that highlighted their enduring legacy in punk rock. Before their performance at the KROCK Festival on September 14, 2002, the band had toured sporadically since their initial breakup in 1978, with their last studio album, "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle," released in 1979, showcasing some of their most iconic tracks. The 2002 performance, part of their brief tour, featured the legendary song "Belsen Was a Gas," reflecting their controversial and provocative style. This live recording is significant as it captures the band's raw energy and connection with their audience years after their initial impact on the music scene. Interestingly, the 2002 gigs were prompted by the ongoing interest in punk culture, reaffirming the Sex Pistols' status as pioneers of the genre, even as they navigated their complex legacy.
