TERRE NEUVAS FESTIVAL, BOBITAL, FRANCE
6th July 2008
Set List Review & Pictures by Géant-Vert for God Save The Sex Pistols

The Sex Pistols play 95 minutes in place of 70. Bargain! Bargain! French sales!!!!

Set List and notes:
There'll Always Be An England
Pretty Vacant (No country version tonight) Pretty Vacant starts at 11:00 PM
Seventeen
No Feelings
New York (Johnny drops pants at the end of the song)
Did You No Wrong
Liar (Very long speech by John against the assholes Malcolm McLaren and the French singer of punk band No One Is Innocent - he doesn't like his manner or the name of his band).
Holidays In The Sun (Intro Seaside in Brittany)
Baghdad Was A Blast (Intro with John doing the Muslin's prayer). This version is terrific!!! One of the best!
Submission (Sex Pistols are a folk band)
Stepping Stone
No Fun
Problems (Ending with Johnny chanting "Problems" without a microphone)
God Save The Queen (false start, Jonesy's pedal is out of order. Before changing the pedal John sings the song as a cappella.
EMI (The band walk along the 15 meters long 'avant-scène' to salute the 40, 000 people. John said something about a guy in the crowd: see YouTube)

Encore1:
Bodies
Anarchy In The U.K. (Sing-a-long with Johnny version)
Encore 2:
Silver Machine
Roadrunner (Jonesy & Johnny left the stage fooling around), Roadrunner ending at 00:35 AM

Outro: White Cliffs Of Dover

Overall report: John talked a lot to the crowd. It was more than just friendly; he was ready to kill everything! He complained several times about the lack of enthusiasm of the crowd for not dancing.

It was funny because you need to imagine 40,000 people pogoing with flags and slammers and JR, both hands on his hips, claiming something like "It's not enough! Make an effort please!" Several times he talked about the Russian and Polish gigs as an audience reference.

Johnny improved his French a lot, after "Je vous aime" and "Bonsoir la France" he said "Ferme ta bouche!" (shut up!) for the first time at a French concert. It's one of the scoops of the evening!!!!
