This is the rare Sex Pistols ticket for the first of 2 gigs at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Note the mistyped date Friday 4th June 1076. As an avid follower of bands like the Stooges, The MC5, The New York Dolls and Nuggets Garage bands, it seemed like the perfect gig. It didn't disappoint. As has been well documented elsewhere (see here) , the start of Manchester's love of Punk began.
Top blog, Can't wait to see what gigs you went to.
ReplyDeleteoh dear!
ReplyDeleteSad git....get a life!
ReplyDeleteIgnore the jealous nameless people.I was there too and would love to see some memorabilia from an important time in music history.Contrary to popular belief there weren't that many "famous " people there.
ReplyDeleteSell the ticket on eBay - someone would buy it!
ReplyDeleteIs this blog a web version of all those drunken conversations in the pub/tea breaks?
ReplyDeleteI too was at all 3 Pistol gigs in 76, In fact i'm pictured in the book "I swear I was there " and in agreement with Beefheart re "famous" people at the 1st gig, Anyway nice to see the ticket again & good luck with the blog
