The Pistols at Brixton Academy



Canny show apart from Lydon forgetting the words..he’s definitely mellowed like..getting all emotional about London and calling the band the best in the world!!

Lydon was on great form, that fuck up just added to it. Band seemed tight. Would've loved to have seen them live when they first landed.

Not a patch on Finsbury Park m8, the crowd was mental, it was carnage.

Nah. Sloping floor is good but it’s a complete piss on, and the beer is rank

Saw the Clash there in 84, canny few other gigs, always had a good drink before going in, usually The Railway, but before The Clash me & my mate ended up in the Iceberg, pub full of rastas, ordered a pint at the bar, sat down, rasta came over to our table, gave us a big spliff, we were the only 2 white people in the pub, don't ask me about the rest of the night or the gig as I was off my tits 😁

Hated the gig, wish I’d never watched it.

I had a perception about the Pistols after watching all the old footage of them (too young to have seen them first time). Watching John Lyndon over trying to be “punk” and trying to live up the the “legend” was devastating.
