Customer Reviews

Brilliant gig, cracking interviews
I managed to get a review copy of this as I'd missed the Brixton gigs from last November. Is a great live show and set-list, and I'm particularly loving the 5.1 sound as well - is no substitute for being there, but I'll take it as a small compensation...

but what really made this dvd for me were the extras. one part is "the knowledge", which is the band's guide to what places in london were important in the history of the Pistols, and within this is john lydon's open-top bus trip around london - you get a taste of it from the trailer but the full segment itself is excellent. it's refreshing to let them do their own talking given all the hype that normally surrounds the band and I think you have to give a lot of credit to Julien Temple for capturing it all.

all in all I think this is a great DVD that didn't disappoint me in any way - not bad for under a tenner!

The Filth and the Fury
I'll keep this short and sweet.

This is an absolutely fantastic DVD. It really captured just what it was like to be there - the madness and the chaos of being in that crowd is represented really well (I even get in a couple of shots, though not as much as some others sadly!).

The picture and sound quality is second to none, everything is as crisp and clear as being there.

The Pistols themselves are completely on form and back to their snarling best, tearing through all the classics and even finding time for a little sing-a-long with the crowd. Rotten is vicious and abrasive but he truly appreciates the fans, calling them the stars of the show.

Great extras too, I watched them straight away and really enjoyed Steve discussing his love of pies and Rotten whining about the Arsenal cannon being the wrong way round!

Get it!

LONG LIVE THE SEX PISTOLS

Theres only one word for this dvd and it is BRILLANT! Went to see the Sex Pistols Nov 2007, and they are better now than they ever were (improved with age) and this dvd shows that! It is fantastic not only does it show the concert but takes you on a tour of London too, on a open top bus along with Rotten himself. Its really interesting and you are stuck on everything Rotten has to say, taking you back to his younger days, and he is so down to earth!!

It is a brillant dvd for Sex Pistol fans and those who are not!! I was never into Punk, I went to see the Sex Pistols and it has totally changed the way I feel, and now I cannot get enough of them!! I was there and the dvd takes me back, and kept me pinned to it! Well worth it!! Sarah Elliott (Stoke-on-Trent)
