re: The Sex Pistols played Baton Rouge in 1978

The first time I went to the Kingfish was in 1977. I dragged the ex-poster Coolidge (RIP) to the Kingfish to watch Roy Buchanan during the first semester of our freshman year. I had seen Roy twice before in San Francisco so I knew what to expect. Coolidge became an instant fan. We attended several more shows there that year. We learned that if you ate at Uncle Earl's next door before the show you were likely to see the artists having a meal there also.

We passed on going to see the Sex Pistols with two fellow residents of Hatcher Hall. We probably didn't miss much. One of them was hit with a thrown beer bottle, and they got tossed for fighting before the show even started.
