PIL Public Image Limited - Live In Tokyo Flowers Of Romance

[@diddlytube]

After having bought the LP of the same name back when it was new, I found it to be about as challenging to listen to as anything I'd encountered to that point. Minimalist, caterwauling, atonal, vaguely Middle Eastern, it was quite a stew, even after having heard earlier PiL. After a few listens, however, the LP grew on me, and now finding this is like stumbling across an old greatest hit. Good post.

When I first heard a PiL song, I say to me "what?? I have heard this song before! But I have never even knew this band before!" I have always the same reaction to others PiL songs, specially when I heard "Death Disco" and "Rise" xD

Immaculacy the emphases Mr.Lydon put on the English in simple on this tour, from the Roman of Roman-ce to the Zone of (This Is Not Alove) Zone. Bravo! Bravo! Bellisseemo!!!!

I sent you flowers - you wanted chocolate instead. That's a good way to explain every bad relationship.

[@schliisel]

checked it out and yeah yeah yeah,it can't be denied.Its a strange mix of pil and and a bit michael jackson,too(not hard to guess having seen the video).But it's quite a good song anyway. No music without inspiration

Live in Tokyo was definitely not a highpoint in PiL's career. Having not listened to it in about 20 years, I will admit it sounds better than I recalled but that might have something to do with just how appalling music has become since then. Makes me feel kind of sad knowing that as bad a place as Tokyo was even when this was recorded, it's immeasurably worse now. Death is preferable to living in Tokyo! Also those same Japanese kids growing up now would be listening mainly to J Pop not PiL.
