Strangest Gig Ever?

Julian Temple's been sitting on footage of the Sex Pistols playing an afternoon show for kids for 40 years:
At the time the Sex Pistols were banned from playing almost anywhere in the UK. In Huddersfield the Fireman had been on strike for nine weeks and were struggling to feed their families. The Sex Pistols played a benefit gig on Christmas day 1977 for the fireman and their families. There were two gigs, a party in the afternoon for the children and a gig for the adults in the evening.

Footage of Rotten and Vicious larking around with the children with Rotten letting the kids cover him in cake is just priceless.
