Jan 9th 1978 the Sex Pistols played at The Kingfish - which, according to my dad, was basically the only cool music venue in town

Do you know anyone who was there? Does anyone know anyone who was there?

If they were they witnessed history

I have an awesome Meters show from the Kingfish in 1977. Sounds like it did get some legendary bands.

I've seen pictures but I was in the first grade when it happened.

For some reason I remember Kingfish being in the southdowns shopping center next to where the Bulldog is today.

You aren't missing anything. It really wasn't about the music.

It wasn't a big deal, dude. They were a band that played concerts. Lots of them.

They actually didn't play lots of concerts. They only played three US shows.
