Sex Pistols close London residency

The Sex Pistols closed their four-day residency at London's Brixton Academy last night in style.

Giving the crowd what they beckoned John Lydon began by toasting Malcolm Mclaren's jungle demise with a swig of brandy and a 'w*****' comment before lurching into 'Pretty Vacant'. Dressed in trademark white shirt and blue waistcoat Lydon and co tore through a worthy set whilst spraying chloraseptic to heal inflamed vocal chords.

Union Jacks adorned the stage while these cartoon characters kicked into life once again. 'Submission', the classic 'Holidays In The Sun' and 'Steppin' Stone' all rang around the packed auditorium. The California Republic flag, his now preferred home, waved above with Arsenal ingrained still sticking to his Finsbury Park routes and offering us the important 3-1 away win at Reading result.

Steve Jones' guitar spat with the ferocity of an enclosed rattlesnake in a performance, which met and surpassed expectations. 'God Save the Queen', 'Bodies' and 'Anarchy in the UK' rounded off a supreme night of music.
