Sex Pistols – “Live In The U.S.A 1978 – Dallas” (Released 28th March 2025)

Description

//UMR//

£25.99 – 1xLP, Limited Edition White Coloured Vinyl

On January 10th 1978, the Sex Pistols continued their fateful US tour playing at the Longhorns Ballroom, Dallas.

The set list included ‘God Save The Queen’, ‘Pretty Vacant’, ‘Holidays In The Sun’ and ‘Anarchy In The UK’. The raw production captures the essence of a live experience, giving listeners a powerful snapshot of a significant moment in punk history.

A document of the last days of the band left to run adrift by absent management on a label that didn’t really understand, in a country that arguably felt more threatened than it did excited by the prospect of the group. Vital, primal and compelling are all words that can be used to describe the audio here. 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 USA 1978 takes us back to the moment the creative force that was Sex Pistols imploded.
