Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols were at a unique stage in their career during their live performance at the Phoenix Festival on July 21, 1996. This show was part of their short-lived reunion tour following their initial break-up in 1978. Before this performance, their classic debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols," had solidified their reputation, but it was years since they had released new material as a band. Interestingly, despite their tumultuous history, the energy captured in this live show highlights the band’s undying rebellious spirit. Their setlist—featuring iconic tracks like "God Save the Queen" and "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone"—demonstrates their lasting impact on punk rock. The band's ability to reignite the same raw energy and provoke thought in the ‘90s underscores why they remain legendary figures in music history, even after years away from the spotlight.
