"well the price is right ,the song list is great,the peformance is good,but the sound of the recording is bad?well i know punk rock isnt supposed to be technical but it would help to presurve sids memory if the sound was cleaned up.sounds like a tape made from the audience.so unless you are a sid collector i would suggest tring a different cd."
Sid Vicious is great

"If you're a huge Sex Pistol and Sid Vicious fan this cd is for you. The recording is poor, but it gives you that vintage feel which you should attain by listening to 70's punk music in the first place!"
Worth buying!

"Sid Vicious Lives is a forgettable compilation for a cheap price. The cover of Belson Was A Gas, titled as "Belsen", is pretty neat but Sid doesn't even sing the second verse, he just sings the first verse over again. The rythm section consists of Rat Scabies(the Damned), Steve New(the Rich Kids), and Glen Matlock of Sex Pistols fame, just as Sid Vicious. The tracks from CBGB's are noted as excellent recordings of Sid, those being Search and Destroy(trk. 9) and My Way(AlTERNATIVE VERSION, trk. 10), which sounds better than the recording of My Way on trk. 8. The most interesting tracks are definitely the Sex Pistols remixes. Cheers."
Pardon me- I meant NOT worth buying

"Save your money. Don't buy this just because it's cheap. I'm here to write bad reviews for albums because you read too many positive ones, and you're being mislead. You don't need this. If you feel like Never Mind the Bollocks isn't enough and you need more Sex Pistols related discography, don't get your hopes up too high."
