Thank you!

[@paull.6026]

Hell yeah, thank you for sharing this. First time hearing it. I've only heard the Paris and London gigs. Love this era of the band.

[@antoninotroisi6585]

YES i was there ! i was 18 years i lived in Brussels ....I was there i remember P.I.L did 2 concert i was present to the second concert , I witnessed it was a disgrace how the audience insulted the band, threw beer cans and spit on the band and insulted them to no end,they P.I.L stopped playing, then John Lydon started singing again with his back to the audience, then the band got fed up with the insults, the band stopped and left early

[@ninjanne]

​@@jefferyweigand1337 This is not a PiL song, is was writen by Keith Levene and Sid Vicious long bevor PiL even existed. The Pistols had it on there setlist on the US Tour. PiL played it for a view gigs in '78 and '79 Heres a Link to a live Pistols Version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TGg5pvnp2naNksi=N66_IAwTt1zcvtzi

This is the second set. I would love to fund a recording of the first set, as I was there.

[@darkprague1334]

I would have loved to have been there. Though I would have been 7 (LOL)

[@antoninotroisi6585]

i was There !!! but believe but believe me it's was disgusting to see how the audience spit on the band and insulted the band and threw beer cans at them

[@twistedspanner]

I've got this somewhere. This sounds like good sound quality. Which gig did they play the Cowboy song and the Sex Pistols' problems?

[@leighbennett1961]

Cowboy song 🎵
