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.

Seen the Bonnie Prince Billy and EITS vids before, both awesome.

Watched the Sex Pistols gig and i totally agree with you Melly, about Steve Jones fucking the gig up rather than Sid.
Ill watch the Crass and Melt Banana videos next.

Heres a Battles film of a whole gig in Chicago:

Watching the Pistols now. Thanks!

They sure spent a lot of time tuning for "punk rock", didn't they?

atsonicpark 05.20.2007 07:03 PM

ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Yeah, I'm going to have to talk to Google about a refund.

Weird thing is, Sid really could play the bass alright, at least by the end of the tour here. I mean, he's just hitting on string, but then these weren't exactly complicated songs. I doubt Matlock would really have added anything musically, despite the myth.

atsonicpark 05.20.2007 07:22 PM

His punk character was considered far more helpful than any knack for playing, as he was not renowned for his playing skills, though he did have some composing ability, as was later shown when he composed the track "Belsen Was A Gas" entirely by himself. Jon Savage's biography of the Sex Pistols, England's Dreaming, recounts that most of the bass parts on the band's later recordings were played by guitarist Steve Jones and at later live performances Vicious' amplifier was sometimes switched off. Vicious is said to have asked Lemmy from Motörhead to teach him how to play bass with the words, "I can't play bass." Lemmy's reply was (according to Lemmy himself) "I know." In his autobiography No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, Lydon writes, "he wasn't too bad at all for three-chord songs."

Dead-Air 05.20.2007 07:30 PM

Lydon writes, "he wasn't too bad at all for three-chord songs."

I think that says it all. He wasn't ever going to be Jaco Pastorius, but that wasn't what Lydon wanted at that point either. There are pretty clear bass lines coming out of his fingers and through the amp in this video despite the legend to the contrary. Lydon played up the whole punk image at all times, he says, "Do you want some more tuneless racket" right as Jones is carefully tuning his guitar for the next song.

sarramkrop 05.20.2007 07:33 PM

England's Dreaming is not a biography of The Sex Pistols , but it uses them to tell about the history of punk in England. Not to be anal, but....

atsonicpark 05.20.2007 07:40 PM

hahahaha.

Dead-Air 05.20.2007 08:05 PM

I'm watching the AC/DC now. I've always thought of the '77 version of that band as pretty punk compared to later (hell they played CBGBs at the time), but it does seem pretty excessive in the guitar dept. after watching the Pistols first. Of course, they started with "Let There Be Rock" which is a pretty lame song. I'm looking forward to "Problem Child".

Dead-Air 05.20.2007 08:24 PM

Oh God, this is sooo worth watching for "Rocker" when Angus uses a wireless guitar and goes out into this Norweigen, really pretty straight, crowd. Everyone is mostly completely seated, and he goes up to these women who grimace when he gets there. Then on the balcony, there's some fat geek dressed up like him and dancing in the aisle (the only person dancing in the place) and Angus totally rocks out with his clone. Crazy shit.

Some really atrocious guitar solos in this though.

Dead-Air 05.20.2007 08:52 PM

I watched about half of the GG Allin on Springer show too. Then my wife came in the room and thankfully broke the trance. The first five minutes were all that was really needed as it just got repetatively dismal after that.

atari 2600 05.20.2007 10:11 PM

good dog, now go fetch more FULL SHOW links
i will get to snatchin the mingus, miles, and maybe the '77 raw & twisted bon scott ac/dc. have some. &&& i already have a quality copy of that nirvana one and it's a really good one to me.deep in the pit, no foolin' & alsothis pistols because i want to add it. (it's their last show after all)......l//theothers look like total shit...'scuse me, 'twas a bad pun

look, they played lots of shows (Sex Pistols, not GG) where they blow the roof off like few bands before or since..llk;';'\[=in fact, the show in atlanta from earlier in that same month is the best one i've heard probably (shared it at old board...i think maybe 3 people d/l'ed it...people are jokerheads)...///
i haven't watched this (winterland '78 last show w/orig. lineup), but it makes sense from the comments that this isn't a good outing...perhaps rotten; 'scuse me, 'twas a bad pun...heel heel bad dog, now go fetch more FULL SHOW links

Atari, do i need to up the dose again? Don't make me do it.

sarramkrop 05.21.2007 04:27 AM

There should be a new category to describe certain people: Not just music jorrnalists who are frustrated musicians, but nobodies who are frustrated music journalists.

The wise and good council of immaculate perception has damned me.
Praise the council...Bravo and Hallelujah.

Oh council, I fear thee.
Oh council, although I fear thee, I love thee as well.

Please believe me.
Please forgive me.

Dear wise and good council of immaculate perception, it is my prayer that you will have mercy on me.

The .flv video downloads as 149 MB; after conversion, the .avi video expands to 538 MB, so it's not great, but it's decent quality for viewing on a television, and hearing on a sound system. The video is slightly lo-res; by no means is it a crisp image, but it's not tremendously bad with blocks only appearing when the lights are out. The audio is not bad, but it's not great either. Like many other videos, the vocals are too high in the soundboard mix and the drums sound a bit thin. One doesn't get the opportunity to really hear what they sounded like as a result. I had to do some fiddling with the stereo to get it sounding fairly fierce.
I can tell that this wasn't their best show really, but still the audio is partly to blame because the audio is fairly weak. No soundcheck was allowed beforehand. The monitors did not work at all. Steve Jones refers to it as the worst show they ever played. It's also bit ridiculous to expect much if you only happened to listen to it through a computer. It would be super to hear it remastered. A little but of the audio (Silver Jubilee, Huddersfield, San Fran) in the Filth & the Fury doc is remastered, although most of the live footage in the documentary is set to studio cuts.

When the Sex Pistols first came over to America after being virtually expelled from England, they had already been dropped by EMI and A&M were on a "last chance" basis with Virgin to do the tour and see what happened with American sales. Sid was (perhaps a bit unreasonably) ordered completely off the horse and he went through withdrawls while on tour.

That is, until Winterland. Sid went out with Malcolm into the streets of San Francisco and managed to score before this last show. Lydon was fed-up with Malcolm (something that had been coming for a long time) and when Steve didn't go along (something he's voiced regret over now), Lydon dissolved the group.
