The Sex Pistols snarled and shouted their way through their greatest hits late on Thursday at the start of a brief reunion tour, and early reviews praised the 50-somethings for maintaining the filth and fury.

"Half a century young!" a defiant lead singer John Lydon shouted to thousands of fans at a packed Brixton Academy in south London.

Sporting his trademark spiky orange hair, the performer best known as Johnny Rotten wasted no time in poking fun at the British establishment.

He wore a pheasant shooting outfit, which caused him several wardrobe malfunctions when his trousers kept slipping down, and the patriotic war-time song "There'll Always Be An England" blasted over the speakers before the set began.

The four punk pioneers opened with "Pretty Vacant," and raced through most of their best known numbers in a gig that lasted just over an hour. Predictably it was "God Save The Queen" and "Anarchy In The U.K." that raised the roof.

The capacity crowd united Pistols contemporaries, most of them male and balding, with younger listeners keen to find out what all the fuss was about.

"Anyone under 40 in the crowd?" Lydon joked.

When the Pistols burst on to the music scene in the late 1970s they caused a sensation, and their album "Never Mind the Bollocks ... Here's the Sex Pistols," released 30 years ago, is considered one of the most influential in rock'n'roll history.
