Sex Pistols

In August 1978, when the Sex Pistols took the stage at Randy's Rodeo in San Antonio, they were riding the wave of their turbulent career, just a year after releasing their only studio album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols*. This iconic debut had hit hard, establishing them as a defining force in punk rock with its raw sound and unapologetic attitude. By this time, the band was grappling with internal strife, particularly with the infamous Sid Vicious, whose chaotic antics—like the noted incident in the San Antonio show where he attacked an audience member—were becoming legendary, adding to the band's notoriety. Their performances around this era were a mix of punk energy and unpredictable moments, often making each show feel like a spontaneous whirlwind of sound and emotion. It's fascinating how their live recordings encapsulate the essence of that frenetic spirit and cultural rebellion, isn't it?
