SEX PISTOLS Kick Off North American Tour: Photos Available
August 21, 2003SEX PISTOLS kicked off their North American tour Wednesday night (August 20) at FleetBoston Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts. Check put pictures from Wire Image.
The band's original line-up — John Lydon (a.k.a. Johnny Rotten, vocals),Steve Jones (guitar),Paul Cook (drums) and Glen Matlock (bass) — will visit a mix of amphitheaters, clubs and concert halls, and will conclude the tour with a Sept. 7 set at the San Diego Street Scene festival.
SEX PISTOLS split in 1978 after a final performance at San Francisco Winterland Ballroom, by which time Sid Vicious had replaced Matlock on bass. Vicious died of a heroin overdose in 1979.
The original line-up reformed for the "Filthy Lucre" tour of the U.K. in 1996 and also reunited last summer to play a London show as a rebuttal to Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee celebrations.
