Sex Pistols:There'll Always Be an England

Great dvd. A foot tour of London, ducking in all the nooks and cranny's, conducted by Steve, Paul and Glen and with John who also guides us around the once great empire via atop a double deck bus. John's outlook and observations and bile are always on the surface. Steve Paul and Glen give their part of the walking tour in a bit more of a relaxed fashion. Love the mid-day lunch Steve and Paul have, popping into their favorite hole-in-the-wall to nip into some pie 'n' mash.This is a dish with a large scoop of mashed potatoes off to one side sitting in a pool of gravy with I believe liquour mixed in along with a small baked pie with peas inside placed in the dish opposite the mash. Generous amounts of vinegar and salt are applied during the eating as demonstrated by Steve and Paul. Sorry for the digression there :) The tour of London is long, detailed and you get a full education on what was, what is and what's not. And what shouldn't be. Like that bleedin BICYCLE WHEEL! The other half of this presentation is a full-on concert by the modern day Pistols held before a rapturous, adoring audience. Each song from 'Bollocks' is trotted out, proving once again, what a shrine to modern music this album was/is. The band don't leave any fans unhappy as they include 'did you no wrong' and 'roadrunner' and 'no fun'. Watch for a special moment at the conclusion of their set, after the last beat of EMI is hit. The tour of London together with the flawless concert make this a perfect disc. Bloody F...ing marvelous!          11/19/08
