On, Jan. 14, 1978, the Sex Pistols performed at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, Calif. on the final date of their U.S. tour. At the end of the show, singer Johnny Rotten screamed, "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" and angrily walked off stage. Rotten promptly left the band and bassist Sid Vicious soon died of a drug overdose, signaling the end of the first, nihilistic, era of punk rock.

A largely unknown band, The Avengers, opened the show that night and "Live at Winterland 1978" captures the intensity of that fateful day.
