sarramkrop - Thanks loads for the Pistols link. I've never seen that before.
Interesting thing about the gig is that, from what I have read, Sid Vicious totally fucked up, but from what I saw and heard, it's Steve Jones who really should carry the can for a fair amount of the crapness of a lot of the gig. Changing guitars, pissing around like Eric Clapton, playing some truly dire bum notes and chords, his Gibson Explorer sounding lame in comparison to his trusty Les Paul, doing some frankly embarrasing Johnny Thunders impersonations, and for fucking up what was a great version of "Bodies".
Rotten looked very unhappy when Vicious announced "Problems", and in return gave the flattest version of that I've ever heard. The most striking thing about Rotten was, right before the end of "No Fun", there was a look of real pain in his eyes, a real sadness. I kinda felt like wanting to hug him at that moment.
