Sex Pistols

Ah, the Sex Pistols! By October 12, 1977, when they played that raucous gig at Huize Maas in Groningen, they were in the thick of their iconic “Never Mind The Bans” tour. Just a few months earlier, in March, they had released their legendary debut album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols*. This album was a seismic shift in the music landscape, practically igniting punk rock as a genre. It's fascinating to think about the energy in the crowd that night—their songs were raw, rebellious anthems capturing a generation's angst. During the Groningen show, they performed tracks like "Anarchy in the U.K." and "Bodies," both bursting with the kind of chaotic spirit that defined their persona. Notably, live performances during this tour often showcased Sid Vicious's unique but controversial stage presence, adding yet another layer to the audacity that was the Sex Pistols in that electrifying era.
