LIVE U.S.A 1978: WINTERLAND BALLROOM SAN FRANCISCO

Sex Pistols -"Live In The U.S.A. 1978 - South East Music Hall, Atlanta" [Blue LP] 40-plus years on from the Sex Pistols' original creative period together (forged amidst times of poor leadership and economic turmoil), the band continues to resonate in ways most could have never imagined - not least those Stateside who witnessed the performances that make up this vital, primal and compelling release. A document of the last days of the band left to run adrift by absent management on a label that didn't really understand them, in a country that arguably felt more threatened than it did excited by the group. Until their return as a live entity in 1996, everything that followed their short, fateful tour of America in January 1978 was simply a parody of what had been. With concerts finally released in full and correctly sequenced for the very first time, Live In The U.S.A. 1978, takes us back to the moment the creative force that was Sex Pistols imploded. Recorded on January 14, 1978 at Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco. Available on blue vinyl. Artist Hometown: London, UK Universal Music Enterprises; UMe; Punk; Catalog [BLUE LP]
