Sex Pistols

When the Sex Pistols tore up the stage in Berlin on June 7, 1996, they were deep into their "Filthy Lucre Tour," a comeback that came nearly two decades after their infamous initial run. Before this live recording, they had released their highly acclaimed album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols," back in 1977, which solidified their place in punk rock history. Interestingly, by the time of this concert, they were riding on the wave of nostalgia while still managing to capture the raw energy that marked their early days. The setlist included classics like "God Save the Queen" and "Bodies," hitting the sweet spot between rebellion and a sort of reflective legacy. It’s worth noting that this performance came at a time when older punk bands were revisiting their roots, mixing that nostalgia with a fiery passion that only the Pistols could deliver. Who wouldn’t feel that buzz in the air, right?
