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.

I actually don't think I've ever heard a single sex pistols song. Ever.

I was sitting next door at Uncle Earls laughing at the punk rockers going see the sex pistols..
I saw Stephen Stills there a few nights later

Best $3.50 I ever spent! I thought they were really good. Sid was the weak link, but Steve and Paul brought it! Johnny was simply...rotten.

Where was the Kingfish located? Not originally from BR.

The Police also played at the same venue right before they hit it big.

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.

Didn’t see the SP, but did see plenty other shows...

I can remember riding on the school bus and seeing the sign on Perkins Rd advertising this concert.

I started developing tinitus 42 years ago tonight due to those rotters.
