"They said no one could be more bizarre than Alice Cooper, or more destructive than Kiss... they have not seen the Sex Pistols. Tuesday night, Stone City Attractions presents live, the Sex Pistols. Banned in their own home country, England's Sex Pistols, denied admittance to the United States, the Sex Pistols bring the new wave to the Metroplex this Tuesday night, in the Longhorn Ballroom. They said it couldn't happen, but it happens Tuesday night: the Sex Pistols, live." - Radio promo
By this point in the tour, Sid Vicious, the least talented member of the band, was receiving most of the attention onstage. Other members of the band were getting fed up with his narcissistic attitude. Before the show, Steve threatened to punch him for focusing on himself and not the music. Sid hit the bottle hard before the show tonight. Being in Texas once again, he and Johnny found it appropriate to mock the "cowboys" in attendance. About half of the 1,800 in the crowd were fans, and the other half were country & western fans defending their territory against these British punks. There were also about 100 police on hand.
Tonight's performance was more of a circus than a rock show, a love-fest compared to the volatile San Antonio show. John wore an ugly pink shirt and a black glove for most of the show, while Steve wore all black, including boots, spurs, and a sheriff's star. With "Gimme a Fix" on his bare chest, Sid barely played his bass and seemed more interested in jumping around instead of performing music. Plastic cups and other assorted objects flew toward the stage for the duration of the performance. (No glass bottles were sold.) The show was all about spectacle; music was secondary.
At the end of "Holidays in the Sun," Sid got head-butted by a overzealous fan and received a bloody nose. Instead of wiping up the mess, he let the blood flow down his body, smearing it on his face and spitting it into the crowd. Johnny remarked, "Look at that... a living circus." During "Pretty Vacant," Sid took a broken bottle and vehemently carved his chest. Iggy would've been proud. He removed the pus-soaked bandage from his arm and threw it into the hapless crowd. The other band members continued the show. Although he contributed next to nothing musically, Sid knew he was stealing Johnny Rotten's limelight, which was more important to him at that point.
After a blistering version of "Anarchy in the U.S.A.," the band left the stage, and, surprisingly, the crowd yelled for more. As the band reappeared for an encore, Sid showed the audience an obscene gesture and Steve yelled, "You must be mad to want more of us!" In the middle of "No Fun," Steve confronted a heckler by throwing a couple punches and jabbing him with the headstock of his guitar.
The next morning, the Dallas newspaper read: "Most of the people last night came to see the people who came to see the Sex Pistols."

Don't fuck with Steve Jones. He was the literal and metaphorical secret weapon of the pistols
Their's voice is always real Soul screamin' thats why nobody never forget this voice and sound.
That is fucking intense! That would be on my "time machine" list of concerts.

Sex Pistols' version of No Fun is just epic.
That swing drumming by Cook simply epic.
Johnny going crazy at the end of the song is superb. The best front man ever.
The generally unsung band member Paul Cook really holds this together...& considering Steve said (in 'Lonely Boy') he didn't like conflict ,he looks ready for it here..

One of the great moments in the history of confrontational performance art in the 20th century,,,,,
For just one guitar, a drum kit, and a singer, (no bass input!), they put on a pretty good show! I had this CD (audio only) once of the Longhorn Ballroom show, and I always wondered where the bass lines were!

Thank you for uploading this concert. Solid gold. Surprised they didn't unplug Sid's mic too by the end...all the credit to Johnny for keeping his focus and intensity despite the side show next to him. What did the guy do to Steve to deserve the guitar kiss?

sid could have been ok at the bass, he was trying his own style riding the sharp before the root note, a bit like Eddie Cochran with a nice pump, that could have been good, he's tone just suk ed and the way he slapped at the strings caused horrible fret buzz type noises sometimes..I can see what he was trying to do anyway, coulda been cool

what happend at the end? did some security dude jump sid?
Sids guitar must have been unplugged. During those few seconds jonsey was distracted and stopped playing…all that could be heard is vocals and drums.
The Sex Pistols played Atlanta, due to the travel and weather change Steve's guitars wouldn't stay in tune. The show wasn't what the band wanted, they wanted to put on a better show. The press were trying to make up stories, catch them with drugs, saying stupid things etc. Steve had a horrible flu. It was Sid and John vs Paul and Steve, and Sid's full blown heroin addiction just destroyed him. The band fell apart at the seems. Steve and Paul carried it the best they could. Luckily enough most of the US Tour is documented and you can see the demise in all it's glory, in many ways it's sad. Steve and Paul bailed on the band at the end instead of having a chance to meet up with John and Sid in England, they had enough.

Tyler Thompson : It was Johnny that left the band after the Winterland Ballroom gig, he said it was over backstage and re-affirmed it AGAIN 2 days later! Then him and Sid were going home by aeroplane when Sid overdosed in midflight, they had to make an emergency landing and Sid was rushed to a hospital where he stayed a few days but Johnny didn't wait around for him to get better and went alone back to England anyway! Steve and Paul were still hanging around MacLaren in LA and afterwards went all 3 together to Brasil! A couple of months later Sid still filmed together with Steve and Paul some scenes for the Great Rock'n'roll Swindle in England and France on the Spring/Summer of 78! Go check it out!

Conclusive Proof that 'Sid Vicious' could not play a note! It is a very sad story about that boy (I feel so sorry for him, having a Junkie Mother, and then he ended up with that 'THING') He WAS on the 'scene' at the time, he could have made a decent career, in some way as (he was a face). Glen should not have left the band, and (I know all about the 'one Album Legacy ') and all that but they were (are) such an inspirational band, they could have done at least another LP and a couple of singles! Up to John Leaving, I don't think they made a bad record; all of NMTB is amazing, as are all the singles and their 'B' sides! dx
Required reading for any hardcore Pistols fan. 12 days that destroyed the band, really. Malcolm set them up to be hated (this show was the low point until they bombed even worse in SF) and wasn't even in the US when the circus started. This is a transcendent version of No Fun though. Johnny was lucky to be in a group with Steve and Paul.
