I had the distinct pleasure of seeing The Pistols front row at the height of their fame in the states, at which time Lydon hacked a giant loogie and sloshed an enormous quantity of beer on my person. Yay! As for the audience violence and mosh pits etc, I remember the Pistols era as being extremely tame as compared to latter-day bands like Skinny Puppy, Ministry etc--and perhaps the most violent mosh pit I've ever seen was fairly recently at an OhGr gig. Of course, we spend a lot of money (and steroids) on security staffing here.

P.S. I'm extremely jealous. Never got to see Bauhaus, although I saw Murphy, post-Bauhaus, a few times.
