December 18th, 1976. Sex Pistols show at Manchester's Electric Circus by Pete Silverton. "Where were you when the Pistols, the Heartbreakers and the Clash doing the rounds". @pistolsofficial @GlenMatlock@JD_Central @ratherarthur @TheClash
Garry Bushell on a roll. The Ruts - Babylon's Burni, UK Subs - Stranglehold, Gang of Four - Tourist, OMD - Electricity. Bought the lot on release. When music was alive & dropping continuously. As for Charlie's wheelchair, well he's still gigging and does a better show than many.

Ironically by the time both came out, the actual Band had imploded, to be followed by Toyah & Joel with new musicians pushing on to musical success (units sold) and a more pop orientated approach. Keith Hale RIP created it's a Mystery rework with them. The rest is history.
A day after the Lyceum gig saw an extra date fitted in at the Lafayette Club in Wolverhampton where the live numbers filmed were featured in the ATV documentary, Toyah. The live album Toyah, Toyah, Toyah was based on this gig too.
