I like this performance, and the backing band. The songs are tight and actually musical - John actually remembers the words, and sings well on this.

Great comments Margaret Savage. Very insightful. I was lucky to see PIL in LA around 87. John Lydon and PIL, simply one of the best and most important.

[@ugofist2340]

Although not by any means my fav PiL lineup, the quality of this transfer is wonderful. The sound quality in particular. Thanks for sharing!

[@buzzbabyjesus]

I saw their first US performance with the original lineup in 1980, and it was terrible. They didn't even try to sound like any of the records.

[@crnkmnky]

@@buzzbabyjesus "Sounding like the records" is not the point of live music. Could you be more specific on which brand of terrible was offered that night?

[@buzzbabyjesus]

@@crnkmnky I should have said they didn't even try to play anything recognizable. Just endless Wobble grooves. Later I heard that Keith and Johnny were on acid. At one point, Johnny pulled a kid up out of the audience and handed him the lyric sheet, crossed his arms and watched everything in a bored manner. It was anti-performance, and very punk rock.

[@crnkmnky]

@@buzzbabyjesus That's pretty funny. Now I understand your earlier comment! Did you enjoy the experience?

[@buzzbabyjesus]

@@crnkmnky Everything about it was strange. The venue in downtown LA, usually hosted boxing, and at that time, no one went downtown at night. We got there late and missed Los Plugz, and Los Lobos. PiL went on with just Wobble and the drummer for about 10 minutes and proceeded to interminable shambles with Johnny and Keith. I have the poster, framed, however, which I love, as an artifact.

[@mspersonunknowable]

Great gig. Wow so tight. Johhny is loving it too. Top form PIL, wish I was at this gig!

memories es para mi en concreto uno de los mejores temas de P.I.L. y mira que tiene años

Love the arrangement for Tie Me, cool, slick, simple bassline. Sort of sounds like 60s spy music (Peter Gunn or Man From UNCLE)

It's a real shame that dvds/cds of the 'Live in Japan' and 'Rockpalast' line up are so easy to get hold of but this much better (IMO) line up is so hard to get hold of. This really needs an official release.

[@margaretsavage1548]

As I watch him here and now in his older years, something seems to be amiss. I saw him in New Orleans in 3/87. I was already listening to PIL. However, I did not know about Johnny Rotten although someone had told me about the Sex Pistols and of Johnny Rotten, who I did not equate with PIL. When he came out, I was taken a back. I could have sworn that he had pink and light blue braids in his hair. And, his presence was definitely felt. You can't get that from this video. However, his taking the stage is something I'll never forget. I didn't look at him again after he walked out. I was dancing in the back the whole time. I can tell you this much, after seeing PIL, I had no interest in seeing INXS who was headlining, anymore, As Micheal Hutchensen ran the catwalk, all I could think was do I have to endure this. To take youthful mindsets and good looks for granted. I had someone say they didn't believe I was ever any other way than I am now. It seems almost like a different lifetime. That was a year that I am glad that I did not miss out on.

[@margaretsavage1548]

I swear there weren't more than two hundred of us that caught him opening for INXS. It's odd to see how well-known he was and have few of us that were there. And, I just happened to wind up seeing him unintentionally. It was one of those surprises you don't expect and couldn't have even hoped for. I love in the MTV interview when he says, "I'm not a performing seal." and the whole "My Way" view. I can understand not wanting to be a marionette in someone's vapid play.

[@margaretsavage1548]

I can't stand to see him like this. It's really hard on me. I want to hold onto the Cassette and remember him at that time. It's like when people are passing and want to be remembered the way they had been. I think this is more difficult seeing what was before, what I knew, what could have been and what was for him even more so than for myself.

[@danmarley4795]

+Margaret Savage I saw him in July 86 at Mesa Centenial Hall in Arizona. The promoter wanted to cancel the show, but Johnny insisted the show go on. He played to about 100 people essentially in a banquet hall.

[@nunya3960]

I could get his presence from this video but maybe that's just me.

[@bethshadowen904]

I think if I were to interview Johnny, I would just give him the mike, and let him do stream of consciousness.....what a hoot that would be!!

[@danmarley4795]

+beth shadowen If you ask me, that's essentially what he did with his autobiography "Anger is an Energy".

Pil were so over looked and over shadowed because all the press kept doing was bring the fkn sex pistols up. Great band.

[@nunya3960]

The Sex Pistols are fine though. That was step one of his journey and that was obvious.

I am very disappointed about what John and his music, it seems like he lost his touch of what he was or better said he was not really the one who made punk music but the rest of the band not to observe just Sid as the star and show leader at all times. There is no joy and he doesn't wakes up my thirst for the music anymore. I tried to like you and listen to your music but you are done for my taste in punk music. I rather hear reggae instead......
