4.0 out of 5 stars Sid Vicious & Friends - LIVE 1978!, July 31, 2001

There is such a small amount of material out there by Sid Vicious, and this album is just great. From tracks 1 to 8, you will find a Sid Vicious gig at the Electric Camden Ballroom in London, late 1978. Then. Track 9 is from a gig in Maxs Kansas City in New York. Track 10 is "My Way", in the studio version of "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle", just a bit shorter. "Pretty Vacant" comes from a Sex Pistols gig, around 1977. "Submission" is a slow,psychodelic remix from the nineties, as well as "Anarchy in the U.K.", in which is transformed into a dance track. The album is really good and the audio quality is great too.

Most of these thirteen tracks are the late Sid Vicious performing a live solo gig - actually surprisingly good. Personally, tunes here I liked best were "C'Mon Everybody", the in-your-face "No Lip", three Iggy & The Stooges covers - "I Wanna Be Your Dog", "Tight Pants" and "Search & Destroy". CD's last three songs notably come from a Sex Pistols gig (no date available) - "Pretty Vacant", "Submission" and their timeless anthem "Anarchy In The UK". Not a bad choice.

I was lucky enough to purchase this CD from a record store that was going out of business. As soon as I got to the car I opened it up and popped it in. The first two tunes totally kicked. I like Sid's version of "I'm not your Stepping Stone" better than anyone else's. Another standout track is his Iggy Pop cover of "I wanna be your Dog." The track "Search and Destroy" is performed live at CBGBs and you can almost hear Nancy swaying her hips in the background.

Of course Sid's most beloved song "My Way" is here for all to enjoy.

The audio is not great, but for a live recording from the late 70's at punk clubs, you could not ask for better. Sid's live performaces with his raw, snotty, and untrained voice will prove that though he was inept as a bass player, as a performer he could hold his own.

The last three tracks are Sex Pistols songs dug up from somewhere. I can't say I like this version of Anarchy in the UK, but it's a nice tune to finish off the album.
