Public Image Limited - Public Image Live New York 1980

PiL live in New York 1980.

This song never gets old to me. I wish there was more 78-80 live footage of them than there is.

Sure would like to see the rest of this....
"This was a special low-key gig at a small club in the Bowery, New York City (capacity 300). Arranged by word-of-mouth a couple of days after their Palladium gig. Apparently the gig was arranged due to the fact the band were making no money from the US tour. Levene later claimed they had done other similar shows during the tour; he also described the Gildersleeves show as the "best" the band ever played....
5 songs from the gig were filmed by local filmmaker / producer Paul Dougherty; who edited the footage down to a 25 minute video film. The untitled film, simply known as the 'PiL Tape', was later presented in public by Dougherty in 1981. Although Dougherty had full permission to film the band, it was never intended for an official release (and subsequent bootleg recordings of the video were leaked without his permission). Tracks on the film are: Careering / Public Image / Another / Low Life / Bad Baby. For full info on the Gildersleeves video footage, read our Paul Dougherty interview."

[@robertcreighton4635]

[@hanswurscht7527]

right stuff

[@kingofpunk1977]

Yes the classic line up which is NOT part of the PIL Dec 2009 reformation

[@kevindeforest6489]

Thanks for posting. Is this the Palladium or Gildersleeves show?

[@markopolo8845]

This is from Gildersleeves...more footage is out there.

[@stephenmerriman7081]

Fucking brilliant

[@auspunk79]

Levine is so smacked out here he can only just get it together. Brilliant guitar player but smack ruined his potential. Very underrated influential guitar sound

[@frxnchh]

they all look like they've took something haha, especially Wobble since he's wearing glasses inside

[@sexobscura]

very true. edge has been using it to help U2 get to where they are now

[@BonzoGoesToMexico]

Lydon you need Levene and wobble even atkins
not some spice girls musician.

[@sexobscura]

it seems everyone who has worked with him has eventually walked...

[@Slance1Himself]

ge!

[@kingofpunk1977]

I saw on British TV Dec 2009 Pil (John Lydon & other musicians) perform & Lydon let the side down. FACT!!!! And before you start I have been into them since 1979 & the truth is Lydon has lost it as a performer. If you want to fly to the uk & see them fine. Yes Lydon is still funny as a person but thats about it.

[@ohio1968javelin]

Quit crying this is cool shit who cares about the rest!

[@PrincePurple]

I'm not advocating heroin, but if that drug can make you be like Levene at 1:59....gimme drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs!

[@danielbressanim1814]

Um jeito inconfundível de se cantar ......

[@kingofpunk1977]

Do your homework before you send me any messages. People forget Pil was Keith Levine,Jah Wobble & Martin Atkins (Yes other drummers were involved) & on Metal Box. Only Lydon the singer is involved in the Pil 2009 line up & before any smart arse says Lydon IS Public Image you are very very wrong

[@realsinisterminister]

correction...Martin Atkins didn't play on the 1st album at all speaking of research.....
