(The following list is compiled only from the database of this site and references in Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions and is certainly incomplete, not least because of the relative lack of available show tracklistings from the period when the band were most active. Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK (Official Video) It reached the Festive Fifty on numerous occasions. Peel regarded it as "fuss about nothing" and continued to play the song. It was subsequently issued on Virgin and caused controversy due to its release in the Queen's Jubilee Year.
The Pistols' second single was due to be released on the A&M label, but the company fired the band with a £75,000 pay-off and destroyed nearly all of the 25,000 copies that had already been pressed. But they were sort of OK, went through their numbers and spat and swore and stuff like this, all the stuff you'd expect them to do, really." God Save The Queen "On the last night of course it was the Sex Pistols who, I must admit, I thought were fairly ludicrous, but, you know, other people saw them who had not seen them previously.

Perhaps the closest opportunity he got to seeing them live was when he drove up to Derby, presumably on the 'Anarchy In The UK' tour (4th December 1976).
