His band is always top-notch, and this evening would be no exception. I’ve seen Matlock several times since moving to the UK four years ago, and he never disappoints. I immediately bought two tickets online and was excited to get back to what I love: live music in an actual club. So I was quite surprised to see the Electric Ballroom announce a special one night only gig with one of my favorite musicians, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols. It was a test by the government, and while Carter was great, the prospect of making it worth everyone’s time was not. Frank Carter played to a minimal number of the actual capacity. Over the past few weeks, there has been a glimmer of hope with limited socially distanced gigs at outdoor venues and a failed attempt at the Clapham Grand in London. The live music scene has been decimated to the point where the government finally stepped in to help. London would shut down the following day, and live music would cease to exist for the foreseeable future. Morrissey had been known to cancel gigs at the last minute, but this one actually went on and was the last night of the tour. The last time I saw a gig was on March 14th as Wembley Arena.
It was the first proper concert in London in more than six months, and likely one of the only live music events held in a proper club across the world.
