Seems Jon Savage is selling them.

Interview with Glen: https://www.nme.com/news/music/sex-pist ... ur-3815356

Can't tell voice inflection in print, of course, but he sounds a little grouchy. But maybe he was smiling the whole time.

He seems sound unless he's been asked one of the same four questions he's been asked for the last forty five years. And even then, he's fairly cordial.

I love Glen. Just tells you what he feels straight up.

Good article, thanks.

I've read both of his books, very much enjoyed them, seems like a good guy IMO.

Hello,

This could be great if they clean things up and do a good job of it.

Hello,

I'll remain optimistic - hopefully time won't prove me wrong.

What shows will they choose from? Complete shows? Setlists? I would think the stage patter from the Pistols (specifically Johnny) would be much more essential here than many other bands.

Go back to my first post there's an NME link to the info regards the shows.

What are the boolegs like from this tour? I know Winterland has a soundboard, but everything else?

Probably a question for Marky, but do they have any multitrack recordings of shows and if so, have they released any?
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I know I like Baton Rouge 9-1-78, it's audience recorded but a great show, the band was really on that night
