Sex Pistols

When the Sex Pistols took the stage in Paris on July 4, 1996, they were reviving their iconic punk sound during the "Filthy Lucre Tour," a comeback tour that sparked both excitement and controversy. This tour followed their storied and tumultuous past, including their explosive debut album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols*, released back in 1977. By the time of this live recording, the Pistols had already made their mark as pioneers of punk rock, yet this concert showcased a band that had matured while still embodying that edgy spirit. The choice of *"God Save The Queen"* for this performance was particularly poignant; the song not only shattered norms in its original release but still echoed their rebellious ethos. It’s fascinating to think about how they managed to maintain their raw energy and connection with fans even after nearly two decades since their initial explosion onto the scene. What a ride it must have been, both for the band and their loyal following!
