Jan 8, 1978 - Memphis, Tennessee, U.S. - Members of the Sex Pistols SID VICIOUS (with cigarette), STEVE JONES and JOHNNY ROTTEN (behind Jones) arrived at Midtown's Taliesyn Ballroom January 6, 1978 amid a tense scene as the concert had been oversold and angry fans mobbed outside the venue. Inside, the audience waited 90 minutes for the band to take the stage. The group managed to perform five more U.S. dates, before Rotten quit on Jan. 18. Vicious decamped to New York's Chelsea Hotel, where his girlfriend, Nancy, would die under mysterious circumstances in October. Cook and Jones formed a new group, The Professionals. And 13 months after performing in Memphis, Vicious died of a heroin overdose. The location the Sex Pistols played in Memphis is now a Taco Bell on Union Ave. 08/01/1978
