I remember Mick Jones talking about it during a Big Audio Dynamite gig at the Leadmill around 1992... I'm sure there has been some discussion about it on here before - I think someone said their auntie was landlady of the Black Swan pub at the time? Do a search on it on here - you should find something. StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clash were a whole lot better than 'pretty good' - that's like saying Leonardo da Vinci wasn't a bad painter.... StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastair Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I discussed going to the gig with my mate. We used to go and see bands at the Black Swan, but neither of us had heard of the Sex Pistols and decided to stay in that night. We saved the 50p ticket cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Bentos Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm a Pistols fan of the highest order & have seen them 5 times in recent years. I also think The Clash were a fantastic band too and I appreciate them more now than when they were together. From that night on 4th July 1976 I have neither met anyone nor seen any photos from that evening. At that point in their career The Pistols had only played 33 known gigs prior to this one if I'm correct & The Black Swan I think was only their sixth Northern one so very few had seen them or understood them at that point, me included. It would be nice to hear from someone who witnessed that evening. They only did small clubs, halls, colleges, strip joints etc & after that night it would be another 5 months before they appeared on live tv on the Today programme with Bill Grundy......'n the rest as they say is history.
