Some of the best performances seemed to be on French TV in the late `sixties / early ` seventies...

PP Arnold was on the same label as the Small Faces hence her featuring on this track...which sounds like the studio recording put over the top of this TV appearance...seems to be a 98% match .

I haven’t heard this song in ages and don’t believe I have ever seen this clip - it’s brilliant 👍

Maybe not a bad shot.......There is another version of the story ( I think all this took place in Mexico ) where he reckoned he was fooling around with the loaded gun , accidently dropped it on a table , and it went off killing the wife...
On his return to the USA he was given a two year suspended sentence ( not that sort of suspended sentence...they didn`t hang him...)

Isn’t that Lorena Bobbit said, when her knife went off?

Local Palm Desert lads played in this band, this is the band that played in a theatre in Paris and got shot up by terrorists with guns, fucked all the Band members mentally, and many others too! Many died, and some fucked for life!

The band didn't get shot up, the public did. 137 dead to date.

Life at its worst and best, Paris attacks, the mind distorted attackers, the brave folk overcoming. Do you make known the very worst or make know the heroic efforts. Endorse the ethos of not breaking everyday folk, deny the evil doers a public notorious enduring mention.... in private damage their capacity, that has many forms, being educated a first starting point... a debate am not seeking, a personal view being just that. j.

One for all you bass players out there....very early demo recording ( Dec `76 ) with no vocal track....popular with Glen Matlock fans as you can hear his bass runs all the more clearly....

Glen played a rick mostly as i recalled, 4001 for the era i would think. He was as is ever in a band, the cog mover, while the showmen do their stuff... used a 4001 in the era also, still have it...have a listen when my link is able to let me do so ( internet issue here )...j

Glen was sacked / removed from the band by manager Malcolm McLaren and replaced by John Ritchie ( Sid Vicious ) , more for the sake of image than any ability as a bass player ( although he did try to learn as quickly as possible )....
He was also a long standing friend of John Lydon .
When it came to recording the album , Paul Cook ( drums ) and Steve Jones ( guitar ) , were concerned that Ritchie just wasn`t going to cut it , so they told McLaren they needed Matlock back to record the album....
They also got in touch with Glen and he said he might be willing to do it , but only if he received some payment upfront.....McLaren refused to consider this request .
So Cook and Jones found themselves alone in the studio....Steve decided to try playing bass on one or two tracks as well as lead guitar and it worked out well , so the whole album was recorded by just Cook and Jones ( Ritchie may have played bass on the track " Bodies " , but that was about all ) .
All that remained then was to put the vocal tracks over the top , which according to Steve Jones involved " John Lydon stood inside a booth with headphones on , screaming his head off ".....

The Sex Pistols base in London was a flat / recording studio in Denmark Street.....this had previously been used by the group Badfinger , but after their tragic demise McLaren acquired it for the Pistols to use .
Track Records also had a rehearsal studio in one of the basements in Denmark Street which Jimi Hendrix would sometimes use .

Phil Lynott also took Scott Gorham to Denmark Street to buy him a " proper guitar " when he joined Thin Lizzy ( not sure what he had been using upto then ).....

Denmark Street was also the scene of a fire in a crowded Latin - American club in one of the basements back in the ` eighties with many fatalities....it seems an ejected punter returned later in the evening intent on revenge ( and arson )......

And again ...Fanny`s cover of Cream`s Badge....
June Millington used a combination of Hammond Leslie speaker and Fender Bassman amp with her Les Paul to get that sound...so I believe...
