I don't think that gig ever took place, although I could be wrong. Nearly the entire Anarchy tour was cancelled amid a wave of opprobrium against the Pistols, who for a brief period were public enemy number one.

"They were controversial… and Derby was scared of them. Back in 1976, when punk was at its height, Derby’s councillors wanted a preview of the Sex Pistols’ gig a few hours before at King’s Hall – now Queen’s Leisure Centre in Cathedral Road. But the councillors were left waiting for two hours by the punk band, who were staying at a motel in Littleover. Allegedly, Johnny Rotten and co had never planned to turn up to the “preview” and so pulled this elaborate prank. Derby councillors halted the show and the Sex Pistols never attempted to play in Derby again."
