This album, despite the slating by the so called Rock Critics is fantastic. The Pistols may not be cool anymore but if anything they play and perform better than in their seventies hey day. The band are tight with John Lydon as cutting as ever with his acid comment.
I am biased I love the band and loved the reunion who cares if this is nostalga Rock dont Rock like this any more. Brilliant.

Received this CD in the post at work and thought I would pop it in the car sound system on the way home for a quick listen, result being that my wife was looking conernedly out of the kitchen window wondering why I was still sitting in the car with an inane grin on my face 20 minutes after having pulled into the drive.
From the crashing opening intro to "Bodies" the boys rocket through this best of collection like a runaway train, gathering momentum as they go,and lifted by an obviously adoring crowds noisy vocal participation.Steve Jones's superb guitar work is more than aqequately underpinned by the throbbing bass and pounding drums of Messrs Matlock and Cook and, whilst Johnny still has the odd problem holding a note, nobody sings with the same level of vehement conviction as this boy. I have a large and eclectic CD collection, and in one listen "Filthy Lucre Live" reduced every other live album in my collection to the status of also rans making me wonder what the Pistols might have achieved if they had not imploded and employed a drug addled scarecrow in place of the vastly more talented Matlock. Whilst musical purists may continue to say that the Sex Pistols are not "real music",any album which generates this much passion, adrenalin and, dare I say it, downright enjoyment epitomises what music is supposed to be representative of and so God Save the Sex Pistols I say, and long may you reign. An absolute 5 star,gilt edged,copper bottomed classic which improves with each listen. Buy it now while you are still young enough to appreciate it.

By That Drummer
Format:Audio CD
A lifelong fan of the Sex Pistols and their no-nonsense attitude toward all that they surveyed, I relished the chance to actually attend the gig this CD was recorded from. 12 hours of a summer's day spent in Finsbury Park watching punk bands, some old and some new, topped off by the boys (by that time 40+) doing what they did best. And yes, it was a pay day they wanted - just look at the tour name if you have any doubts!
Live CDs can't always capture the electric atmosphere of actually being there to see the show, but this one does a very good job! Some of the memories of the show may fade, but those down on CD can stay with you. The editing might not be great, missing out some of Johnny's comments and even a couple of songs - they were announced by England footballers Stuart Pearce and Gareth Southgate, who were both asked to give the Germans "No f****ing fun" at the Euro 96 game shortly after by Mr Rotten - but for those that were there, and even those who weren't, this gives a new generation of anarchic anti-Establishment punk musicians and fans the chance to hear the sound of those still-relevant original classics in a modern setting. Once and for all the Pistols prove how they took the late 1970s by the short and curlies, pulled, and shook the world up!
