PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED PIL - This Is Not A Love Song - Live At Rockpalast (live video)

PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED PIL - Live At Rockpalast
„This is an oldie called ‘Religion’” John Lydon announces a song from the first PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED-Album “First Issue” in this historic “Rockpalast”-Concert, recorded on 31st October 1983.
This announcement not only documents the humor of the former Sex Pistols figurehead, it also shows, that a lot has happened since the heyday of the most famous punk band in the world and in the first six years of his new invention: PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED.
At that time PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED was quite a shock to the loyal Sex Pistols follower, because Lydon and his fellows denied and destroyed all stereotypes of the punk movement and invented a unique, unconventional and at times very dark and disturbing sound, which drew its influences from such styles as Rock, Dance, Folk, Ballet, Pop and Dub.
In retrospect, the first three albums “First Issue”, “Metal Box” and “Flowers of Romance” became post-punk-classics, not only because of their musical radicalism, which could not be compared to anything or anyone else at that time, but also of John Lydon’s charismatic persona and unique vocal style.
In 1983, the line up of the first three albums already disbanded - only Martin Atkins as a drummer remained from the recordings of “Flowers Of Romance”.
With a bunch of session musicians, 1983 Lydon and Atkins embarked on a worldwide tour which led them to Tokyo (where the album “Live In Tokyo”) was recorded - and to Germany as well.
This concert recorded at Zeche, Bochum, is remarkable in many ways.
It does not only contains the highlights of the previous albums like the song “Public Image” (played twice!), haunting and rare versions of “Chant” or “Under The House”, but also a seldom played version of the Sex Pistols-classic “Anarchy In The UK” and a “preview” of some highlights of the by then forthcoming 1984-album “This Is What You Want… This I What you Get”, including one of the biggest PiL-Hits ever: “(This Is Not A) Love Song”.
The bonus on this DVD is an interview with Rockpalast host Alan Bangs as well as ultra rare and never heard before rehearsals for the concert.
Timeless as a document and still today a totally unique event.

Absolutely

Proper Legend good live version

[@maxvonhausen63]

Rockpalst in den 1980er Jahren im Westfernsehen, war immer eine Party wert.

[@gregprice103]

I know he don’t like being called legend, but he’s a fuc*ing legend

[@peterdalton9012]

The more recent recordings of this song (live) are more emotional and showcase the heart of John Lydon. As the years go by, this song gets better and better. It is a masterpiece.

[@Eratosthenes0815]

Haha... - Being there in 83 surely was an experience you'd never have later on.

[@russellgoff6524]

@@Eratosthenes0815 I can vouch for that. Paladium 1983 and it was electrifying.

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

I absolutely love John! Saw PIL twice last month and they were absolutely fantastic! I was right at the front as always as I enjoy being close up to my idol! ❤❤

[@sophiaeletskaya1104]

Yeah everything's so bland now. All sounds the same

[@lienbijs1205]

I am 53, when I was 15 my dad told me that there would come a day that I didn't like this music anymore. He was wrong.

[@patthewoodboy]

you just need to find them , they are out there , just not promoted.

[@poizen-ivy]

Because since the late 90s and early 2000's when analogue was swapped over for digital, all the human nuances of playing are missing and sounds overly polished, they sound rather manufactured and 'overdone'. Eg, the natural timing of a drummer would slightly speed up and down in a song, fractions of a second. Digital is all perfected and corrected and you can hear the differences it has on a song. Rick Beato talks about this in his videos on 90's rock and metal recordings and what made particular albums 'classics' compared to music released now.

[@oliverrickard9970]

That p bass tone is just 👌👌👌

[@tomtrana3449]

Bassist is Louis Bernardi (playing for PIL in 1983)

[@inagreenminute6525]

EXACTLY.. that bass line.
