Filthy Lucre Live is a 1996 live album by the reunited Sex Pistols. The album was recorded live in London's Finsbury Park on 23 June 1996 during the band's Filthy Lucre Tour.
Filthy Lucre Live was produced and mixed by Chris Thomas at Townhouse Studios in London. Thomas, who is noted for his work with The Beatles and Roxy Music, also produced the Sex Pistol's classic debut album, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols. Chris Thomas is credited with developing the densely layered, "wall of sound" the band is identified with.
BBC Radio 1 broadcast the complete concert live, this included the Pistol's final encore, a cover version of The Stooges' "No Fun". This song was not included on standard editions of Filthy Lucre Live but was an exclusive bonus track in Japan. Ironically, this made the Toshiba-EMI release of Filthy Lucre Live, the only version that featured the concert in its entirety.
