While you missed the imperious theatricality of the talismanic frontman, this nostalgic charity gig was mighty, gnarly fun

The band are a little rusty around the edges, but there is much to enjoy tonight – not least Frank Carter’s admirable impersonation of the matchless Johnny Rotten

Tonight there’s little sign of either filth or fury but, at the age of 52, Mr Rotten still knows how to deliver his sarcastic one-liners like nobody else and the rest of the Sex Pistols are also on fine form.
