Sex Pistols

Ah, the Sex Pistols—those raucous harbingers of punk rock chaos! By January 14, 1978, when they busted out "Liar" at Winterland in San Francisco, they were well into their tumultuous journey. Just a few months prior, in November 1977, they released their iconic album "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," which shook the music world to its core. It was their only studio album and a definitive punk rock milestone that blasted convention into smithereens. Interestingly, by this point in their career, the band was embroiled in chaos and controversy, both on and off the stage. Sid Vicious, who was not just a symbol of punk's wild spirit but also a figure of extreme turmoil, played bass on this track. It's fascinating—this live performance echoes the band's frenetic energy and encapsulates their confrontational style, forged in an atmosphere thick with rebellion. Did they know it would resonate so profoundly, even decades later?
