It's great to see some things never change as in the buildings even though they change hands all the time from one business to another. You can still the past looking back at you. Makes me wonder how many people walk past these old haunts without any knowledge of their past. Great vid. Thank you for posting.
The 100 club , I saw Barney Kessle there the famous jazz guitarist who recorded with Julie London on cry me a river . Saw the great alto sax guy Charles McPherson who worked with Mingus . Saw Jazz Funk guitarist Jim Mullen there in 1986 I think with the great bassist Joe Hubbard there …. Then a Stone Roses tribute , a country band , a Small Faces tribute band that were great . Sid on drums a multi instrumentalist, and wished he could have stayed and Nancy too god bless them both
Remember that plastic floor on Carnaby street , used to go there with my mum in 1977 . The jam have photos with that floor , News of the World single . My bush hall video up
Hi Maggie & followers. Another great video; just a few points......I thought the tiles outside the Marquee looked somehow different but if you look to the bottom left corner, the little air-vent in the Pistols photo is clearly still there to orientate the viewer. Secondly, you read a quote about the Vortex & made mention of someone called John Miller. He was an interesting guy. He ran the Vortex, promoted the Sham 69 gig when they played on a rooftop just off Oxford Street (all getting arrested in the process) & it was him who, with something of a Pistols connection, hit the headlines after discovering where Ronnie Biggs had fled to, unsuccessfully attempting to fly him back to the UK to collect some sort of reward! (He wrote about his life in a book called 'Former Soldier Seeks Employment' which is available on ebay for a couple of quid) Lastly, when you were talking about the Pistols at the Marquee & talking about how it was described as 'a orgy', you showed the little newspaper cutting that said 'Pistols startled the audience with semi-nude girls'. If you look above those words however, there's an appeal by the band 10cc, offering £100 for the return of 2 guitars stolen from them at the Hammersmith Odeon on a Tuesday night. This theft would possibly have been down to Steve Jones or if not him, almost certainly to someone he knew so another Pistols connection there!
Brilliant never knew all that about the Vortex but I remember the attempted kidnap and the name Miller. Steve mentions in Lonely Boy that he contacted one of 10cc - probably Eric Stewart or Graham Gouldman and apologised for stealing an instrument from them decades earlier and offering compensation. The 10cc guy said it didn't matter.
Thanks for pointing out the 10cc theft! A couple of other people mention that too. It probably was Steve Jones. Yes, that air vent at the bottom matches up with the photos. Those tiles look very old. I'm so glad at least something is still there from the old Marquee front. I did read that about John Miller in Glen's book. Maybe I should have mentioned it in the video but I didn't want to go off course too much. But what an interesting character! I just think it's hilarious he wouldn't let Cher and Greg Allman inside. Thanks so much for watching Tom!
Heard OF the Pistols in the press long before I actually heard them. On Radio Luxemburg in 1976, they broadcast 'Anarchy' on the radio. Nowhere else would play them, least of all Radio 1. Thought ' That sounds good, original' I was hooked. A new direction.
Hi Maggie, another great video of Londons Punk Rock history. I love the fact that these venue obviously don't exist another, (except 100 club), but therexare still signs than remain. Like the tiles at the Marquee and the windows above the Vortex. The Rolling Stones actually played their debut gig at the Marquee. They used to reherse and were formed, just around the corner as well. The record shop Sounds of the Universe, on the corner of Broadwick Street and Duck Lane, The Stones used the upstairs room. Looking forward to your next video... All the best, Andy 🇬🇧
Hi Andy, Thanks for watching another video. And thanks for The Stones info. I had no idea their debut gig was at The Marquee. I think I saw that record store you mention. I noticed it because nowadays there aren't many record stores left, especially in Soho. There's so much history in that club!
@@WhyNotGoPlaces Yeah, 2nd hand record stores are a dying breed, unfortunately. Thank God for record fairs! I only found out about the Stones, that shop and the Marquee about a year ago! I'm surprised there's not a blue plaque outside the shop. Take care.
Great stuff. Still remember the coloured paving in Carnaby St. It was taken up around 1986 . A bit of character went when that was done. We used buy our pointed toe black white shoes from Shelleys near The Shakespeares Head. Used to meet up with people from all over London there. Got to know all sorts , Punks, Mods, Goths, Skinheads. I still have Carnaby Cavern and Mellandi carrier bags from the early eighties. Many memories. I always recall The Maquee in Wardour St as a bit dirty n grubby. Ha. 100 club was cleaner . You reboot the memories for a lot of us here. Love from North London ❤️
Thanks for watching North London! Someone else here mentioned the colored paving. I vaguely remember that. That street is very sad to me. Just a lot of high-end chain stores like Nike etc. No independents that I could see. I'm glad you got to enjoy its hey day. Thanks again!
Hi Maggie, I saw the UK SUBS at the 100 club when I was 14 .eraserhead were the support with captain sensible on bass and Charlie Harper the singer of the Subs gave me and my brother some of his beer before going on stage . Great memories, what a gent. About a year later I saw one of the best gigs I've ever seen DISCHARGE at the 100 club and they were brilliant. I had to almost sneek in at the subs gig as I used to look very young. Phil
Thanks a bunch, really!!! Love all your videos and just feel kinda a lil bit jealous as I was only 10 years old in '77 and didn' t get into the Pistols until '78 when the Swindle was released. Keep up the great work, great memories!!! Oh, whoops, thatz not my pic, that' s my wife lol. My name is GRaZ.
Hi Maggie, thanks for another cool vid.just to let you know after getting tickets for 02 forum in London have since got some for 02 Birmingham, which is so much nearer home and 5 days before the London show 😂😂. Hope you had fun listening to The Tubes live album after the last time we chatted. Love your enthusiasm and genuine love for music and the history that goes with it👍. All the very best to you and Joe. Roy x
Hi Roy! Thanks for watching again. yes I did enjoy that Tubes album. White Punks and Don't Touch Me There - what classics! I'm glad you got a ticket close to home. I see they sold out the first day. Enjoy!!
What a nice memory! Yes, I saw Joy Division many times. A couple of people have asked me to do a video on them. Maybe I will in the future. Thanks for watching.
Hi Maggie, great video, there’s an album called Live At The Vortex that is worth a listen, recorded in ‘77, lesser known punk bands but really captures the atmosphere. It’s a shame Carnaby Street isn’t as good as it used to be but that is such a great photo of the Pistols taken there, Johnny’s expression on that always makes me laugh! 😊
Thanks for tuning in again. Yes, his expression is priceless. We had a lot of fun trying to copy it - with people laughing and staring at us as they walked by. I'll look into that record. Thanks for the tip!
The marquee was also one of the venues were the high numbers/ early Who played and the Bowie 1964 show mentioned is when the white duke was a pivotal figure in the mod movement - so there you have an important link between the mod and punk subcultures - we all know that the pistols especially Matlock were big Who/ small faces fans and they did several covers of those 2 legendary mod bands
Hi Maggie, I forgot to comment on your last video when you mentioned that one of the bands that played at the Roxy was the Saints. That blew me away! They are a really good Aussie band from Brisbane and just two days ago they announced that they are reforming. Hope they come down south and not just the eastern states.
Yes he mentions in Lonely Boy contacting someone from 10cc many years later to apologise. I had no idea he was still stealing stuff during the gigging Sex Pistols era. It's quite hilarious that the theft story ended up next to the Sex Pistols mention in the newspaper.
Just uploaded my little video of the Sex Pistols arrive at Bush Hall . Filmed the journey there and then played a guitar Jam on the chords to Problems to use instead of traffic noise ect
Funny that 10cc and the Sex Pistols are mentiomed in the same newspaper column - as Steve Jones stole some 10cc instruments maybe even the ones referred to in the newspaper cutting here ! He mentions in Lonely Boy that he contacted someone from 10cc many years later to apologise and offer compensation.
I wonder if Lydon knows about your channel? If he ever checks it and your Pistols vids out and sees your obvious love for him and his band it’d be cool if he wanted to come on with you for an interview.
@@WhyNotGoPlaces and also thank you for very interesting book recommendations. I have already added 3 to my collection. Perhaps it would be a nice episode, to check what else you recommend. I purchased: Triggers, Malcolms biography, and Sophie's memoir .... so interesting!
@@WhyNotGoPlacesWere Joy Division supporting another band when you saw them ? I post on a Joy Division site I'd be happy to post the video link there when you do it. xxx
It's still weird to me seeing them dressed liked that in early 1976, it was still the norm for everyone to dress in flares and have long hair then, they must have looked like aliens from the future at the time. I remember when I first started noticing the odd person wearing drainpipe or straight trousers around early 78 and thinking it was a bit odd but as an early teen at the time I didn't realize the fashion world was being turned on its head or that flares had originated from hippy bell bottoms and it was the hippies who'd created the fashion of my generation. The Pistols were a reaction to all that, it was like the Roundheads replacing the Cavaliers and those of us who weren't punks fashion wise were still freed from the urban hippy look choice even of doctor martin boot boy football hooligan types and up north too where flared trousers didn't die out fully until about 1983
Yes, I heard that about people up north. That they clung onto their flairs forever. Johnny must have really looked like an alien in 1976 and I bet people stared at him when he walked down the street. And what about Soo Cat Woman and Steve Severin? The stares must have been unbelievable!
At the same time there was a punk scene in the greater L.A. area in the US . Thats where i got my indoctrination . We had quite a few clubs and there was no shortage of places to see bands. The bands were a bit more diverese in thier sound and look but , there was music practicaly every night..... THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES
@WhyNotGoPlaces I've met them all , except the germs , don't ask me why I just had no desire to. Most every one else in the scene there were very nice and approachable. Those were some wonderful times. My favorite people weirdos , alley cats , X , Mike Morris ,and an odd choice mainly because I knew some of them personally T.S.O.L. , oh and don't forget the Zeros or suburban lawns. Oh the masque I think I visited only twice or once and a quarter...I did not like that smelly basement. Where I lived ( peck park area in Pedro) dancing waters and later in Long Beach Fenders ball room. And further south Cuckoos nest.(Although red neck was were not my cup of tee) I wish I wasn't such a lazy sod , I could write a book with all of the anecdotes I have.
I know someone who saw them said it was amazing, they got banned from the venue 1976, irony was god save the queen video was filmed there thats the pistols!
@@WhyNotGoPlaces go to the village inn west runton norfolk pistols played 1976, ive been there 1989, 1993 nice pub , back room is were the pistols played.
@@WhyNotGoPlaces hi, they played in nottingham which is 26 miles from were i live in the uk, but not in leicester, the poly wanted them on during 1977 spots tour, but it never happened, but the band did stay hoilday inn 1977, that is still around, and also nancy came to leicester in a taxi as well 1977.kind regards.
In 1987, i lived in pimlico, sw1, I used to go out on either Mondays tues or wed, to limelight vip room shaftsbury ave, i became friends in there, with John Valentine Carruthers, he was guitarist in souxsie and banshees, me and john used to sit for hours drinking in limelight vip bar. My other friend was Andy Anderson drummer with the Cure, hes on lovecats album, me and Andy occasionally met up in his local, in a beautiful little pub in chiswick by the river thames, called “the bell & Crown”, andy was also later drummer for iggy pop. Great memories i h@ve from mid to late 80s. In the music biz. Rogue Mayhem 👁️💕
Wow, fantastic memories! You had very interesting friends. I really liked The Limelight on Shaftsbury Ave. That was a great place. I saw Johnny Thunders there more than once. I also went to the Limelight in NYC too.
@@WhyNotGoPlaces my australian friend in new York had band, called, CRASH, THEY PLAYED allover nyc manhatten in early to mid nineties including at nyc limelight club.
