Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols' live recording in Milan on July 11, 1996, came during a fascinating phase in their tumultuous career. Spanning into a mid-90s reunion, this concert marked a significant return for the band, nearly two decades after their explosive debut album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols," which had introduced them to the world. Interestingly, before this concert, they performed in 1996 as part of a small series of shows celebrating their legacy, but this particular gig was far from smooth sailing. It’s notorious for the chaotic atmosphere, highlighted by the band momentarily walking off stage—twice!—due to an unruly crowd throwing bottles and rocks. Talks about punk’s revival during this time add yet another layer; they weren’t just relics of a bygone era, but still provoking strong reactions—and isn’t that what punk is all about?
