Sex Pistols

The performance of "Satellite" by the Sex Pistols at HM Prison, Chelmsford on September 17, 1976, captures a pivotal moment in the band's explosive rise. Just a few months earlier, they released their iconic debut album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols*. This album sent shockwaves through the music scene and firmly established them as the face of punk rock. The prison gig is fascinating not only because of the unconventional venue but also due to the sheer audacity of the band, reflecting their rebellious spirit. It's noteworthy that their reputation was as much about their music as it was about their defiance against societal norms. Plus, performing in a prison added an edge that only amplified their outlaw image. Capturing the raw energy of the band in such a unique setting feels like a snapshot of a moment where punk culture was still raw, hungry, and unapologetic.
