So much negativity in the comments.For someone in his late fifties his voice is still as strong as ever and he is putting in the effort. Anyone who can do a better job get up on stage I am all ears. I might add the musicionship is top notch too !
I've watched this concert many times - everything good about PIL is encapsulated. The band is so tight and the guitars soaringly beautiful. I want it as a live album.
I love this man forever and always. He is one of the most truly authentic human beings out there and can give a F about what others think. That's respect!!! ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Ahem. He used to be able to sing if you want to call it that no offence. But what he does here is just a fucking mess. This outfit just stinks. No musical sightings and little lyrical engagement. Just terrible
I bought my brother the metal box album in 1981 from a London market. I was just 13 years old, we used to listen to it together, then some 'are sole' broke into his flat in Newport South Wales and stole his system with the second vinyl still on the deck. I went to see John at a place in Cardiff about 4 years ago. My brother passed away about 6 months before I went to see PIL. Every second I was there was a memory of my brother, thanks to the friend who bought me the ticket as a birthday present, and thanks John for making me dance non stop for the duration of his fantastic show.
Indeed! I've only recently discovered them. Their first album sounds like the Pixies, Nirvana, Midnight Oil, + more, wrapped up into one. How he doesn't get credit for being one of the most influential people in music - second possibly only to the Beatles.
I must admit that this band is well rehearsed and freaking tight. They knock it out of the park more than once and completely fly over everyones head. Sound is well done too. Bravo.
Must of watched this 20 times and it still gives me the shivers. Johnny's a maverick who has matured pretty well I think. Lu's guitar is mixed too loud which is bloody fantastic! Death disco is a piece of heart wrenching genius Johnny. God blesses yur Mom every time he hears it.
@@sadduck28 I went to worship in Sheffield last year - unforgettably brilliant gig so much energy and emotion, totally committed puts his heart and soul into every word. Staggeringly good playing from the band
Fresh 🤣 I have never seen so many miserable looking people in a festival crowd especially the young ones who look like they have been kidnapped and dragged there against their will. As for John Lydon being "the ultimate punk" I get the feeling you didn't really explore that much of what was available.
He also sang his heart out at the crow world festival in Los Angeles last weekend it was so awesome I'm still playing it right now and that's why I'm seeing your UA-cam
The last song performed in this set is simply dazzling. I have listened to this over and over and over....I was an early PIL fan. Had their 1979 album vinyl back in the 80s:) One of the most underated bands ever.
This is honestly better than any studio version of their stuff I have ever listened to. And it all seams together rather nicely, making it sounds like one hour long song.
John always picks amazing musicians to play in PIL, from Wobble ,Levene, the late great McGeoch and this bunch with it's great rhythm section and Lu's guitar work is mesmerizing, John know's how to pick em.
What a concert!The guitar sound is awesome....Their tracks sound much better live than on record.The energy on stage is really high.Greetings from Italy!
The performance of Warrior just amazes me (in a good way). I'm speechless. The subtle shifts in tone and melody between the band and John's restrained yet powerful vocal is just so much to take in. What a captivating performance. Thanks guys.
This is B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T....If you didnt get it..go and listen to your popy formula...plus he is doing great things with his voice..pure energy and attitude...Hello this is LIVE!!!
no he wasn't he was a fake punk who never believed a word of it, but a pretty decent musician who sold out almost immediately and now spends his time hawking country life butter. For ultimate punk see sid vicious
Crap crowd saw them body & soul festival Ireland crowd gave them the respect they so deserve . PIL are emotion you dont get plastic performances from them just raw passion hard core PIL . They pure energy amazing stuff.
I love the fact that they change and tweak songs for a live performance so its not just a copy and paste of the recorded version, and as always Lu Edmonds guitar work is a thing of beauty. Pity John McGeoch passed so early as I can only imagine the stuff Lu and him wouldve kept creating
Usually I don't go in for musicians that are past their prime. There are very few exceptions. This is one. Well done sir. I am an old guy too. This is a great performance.
John and the rest of PiL give %110 for and at EVERY performance they play!! It’s just too bad the crowd at this show doesn’t “get it” and “appreciate it”. John even says during this show, 21:05 “I love the way how you stand and stare. There’s so much to fucking look at.” John and the band LOVE their fans and want to give them “our best at every show”(John’s own words). PiL ✊❤️❤️✊
Was thinking the same thing. The crowd didn't seem to get the greatness of the music. Granted it was mid day, in the sun, who knows how many bands before or after. Some of them did, were jumping up and down, but overall, the music was over their heads.
Well.. Lydon is a phenomenon! I love the guy. Brought so much joy into my life. But all you musicians out there! Did you miss Lu Edmonds? That’s something to learn from. Brilliant!!
Thanks so much for posting all of this, utterly superb. Saw them last night (June 2018) at tiny gig in Frome, the Cheese & Grain. JL's voice so very strong, and the bass & drums were just brilliant. A hot and sticky night in a small venue, it took me right back to the 70s.

@@twistedspanner I've only really checked PIL out this year. God knows why. Just one of them ones that gets forgotten. My view is that I'm an idiot and have missed out. Musically they were way ahead of there time. And just better than the pistols hands down. Not as iconic but what ever will be more iconic than never mind the bollocks but still they were pushing boundaries. It gives lydon a lot more of a legendary status in my opinion. "Poptones" is my personal favourite but there's a lot of quality throughout every album. Why did it take me so long to check em out. Only God will know. Hahah
I saw this gig from the front of the crowd at the barrier. The highlight of the Glastonbury weekend for me. Open Up brought a lump to my throat when the synth bass kicked in, unbelievable and Brilliant! Security presence increased when PIL came on, but the gig was calm and fantastic.
Absolutely love the guitar player (Lu Edmonds) in PIL. Saw them on Jules Holland and they blew me away. They are all great musicians allowing John the freedom to go wherever he wants.
This is an awesome show. PiL never stand still. It's unbelievable to have seen the Sex Pistols in San Francisco in 1978, and to see John still performing all these years later. I'd go seem them live in a heartbeat
Thought this two might be useful: set list and lineup: This Is Not a Love Song Reggie Song Warrior One Drop Death Disco Public Image Rise Open Up (Leftfield cover) (note; lineup below is taken from official PIL site, but from another show - the one opening the tour, Glastonbury was same month, so I suppose lineup is the same. Sorry, I just don't know half of current lineup, really forgot about the band many years and lineups ago. Anyway it was fun to watch this gig, so thanks for sharing it!) lineup: John Lydon - After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed Public Image Ltd in 1978. Outside of PiL John has released several solo records and collaborations. He also brings quality TV to the masses. Lu Edmonds - Multi instrumentalist and former guitarist in The Damned Lu joined PiL in 1986 recording and playing on the album Happy? and co-writing the album ‘9’ adding yet another dimension to the PiL sound. Bruce Smith - Former drummer in The Pop Group and The Slits became percussionist for PiL also in 1986 playing and recording on the albums Happy? and ‘9’. Seen as a drumming virtuoso, Bruce Smith brought his unique style into the fold. Scott Firth - A bass player/multi instrumentalist that has collaborated and played with a variety of top musicians and bands including Steve Winwood, John Martyn, Elvis Costello, and The Spice Girls. Scott’s arrival into the band in 2009 resulted in John Lydon declaring him “Genius at work!”
Easily the best PiL lineup since the early days of Levene and Wobble. John really shows how great a performer he can be with a great band backing him up.

Saw this tour a few years earlier, in the city I live in. It was a small club, we are all absolutely blown away, it was amazing! The intimacy, the power of the songs, truly amazing! Johnny even said it was the nicest club he had ever played in.
Since U2 I didn't like rhythmical delays on my distorting Marshall but hearing Lu I can't wait to try again! After 60 years of guitar oriented rock 'n roll the electric saz is a real revelation... Actually I love the whole band!! The Dionysian ornaments of Johnny blend perfectly with the musicians.
yes johns painfull crescendo really melds with lous soaring vibrato and delay, its ,its almost juniper blossoms in a japenese garden dont you think Robny?

I wasn't in the punk queue and couldn't follow their sounds "back then", but these blokes have stayed with their core. Im glad to hear this concert was well received by the crowd. It was a sunny day and John realizes that the sun should be celebrated. there was a sunny tone....never heard that in the past.
So much negativity in the comments.For someone in his late fifties his voice is still as strong as ever and he is putting in the effort. Anyone who can do a better job get up on stage I am all ears. I might add the musicionship is top notch too !
john's voice is brilliant here, powerful.
tremendous!!!
Yeah...negativity is the very soul of youtube, it would seem.
PiL is still a great group.
imo
Nothing ever is as it was. The trick is to enjoy what it is and what you have. Keep singing fine sir.
Well said, Lydon was the greatest punk singer/songwriter of his generation (along with Joe Strummer) and can still draw a fkin huge crowd.
Blown away!!!50 years old and just discovered PiL , I'm gonna enjoy .

As for Open Up - It isn't a cover really, John appeared on Leftfield's album in 1995
Lu and his Bouzuki,what an amazing Sound.
Brilliant, one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Lu Edmond's is an amazing musician and complements Johns lyrics brilliantly.
John Lydon never gets enough credit for how good his voice is. It is totally unique.
Seriously?
Ahem. He used to be able to sing if you want to call it that no offence. But what he does here is just a fucking mess. This outfit just stinks. No musical sightings and little lyrical engagement. Just terrible
He sounds real good here, I think it's because he's much older wiser more aware of the cohesive beat as opposed to the younger days.

PiL is the most underrated band on earth. I'm sure their music will be appreciated more and they will get more credit on Mars some day.

Lu Edmonds is the reason I enjoy watching/listening to this over and over again.
He's an amazing Guitarist and musician
This really is one of my all time favorite concert sets. I keep coming back to revisit the awesome.
I must admit that this band is well rehearsed and freaking tight. They knock it out of the park more than once and completely fly over everyones head. Sound is well done too. Bravo.
Why would you must admit??
It's just not very good music. Apart from rise that is. The rest is just self indulgent nonsense.

John knows how to assemble a band. This is top tier playing here. John's voice is more of an instrument than its ever been, everything fits nicely.
Man, Lydon's singing his heart out here. Totally dedicated. They sound pretty damn great. Edmonds is ace.
This sounds great fantastic
He's always had the best musicians!
He also sang his heart out at the crow world festival in Los Angeles last weekend it was so awesome I'm still playing it right now and that's why I'm seeing your UA-cam
Hell yeah.... Seen him last week and he still sounds great
Edmonds is highly underrated.. he plays rhythm and lead at the same time... I'm thinking him and Jimmy Page are buddies
Lu's guitar is epic from start to finish..
I almost thought it was Christopher Lee.
And warren's mastery of strings is undeniable

indeed good stuff
standing there in the sunshine with a pint of brothers cider in my hand I saw them play the best they had in over 2 decades. was brilliant!

genius, lu edmonds is extraordinary, amazing band these concerts have been the most intense shows I have seen.
This is a superb performance by a group that sounds every bit as fresh now as they did in 1978 with their first single
amen
Amen again just found fucking pucka
Nevermind that all the musicians are different.
I don't like their sound but i like their coherency.
Martin Blunt They sound even better now.
this is not a love song , it's a lesson of life
thank you ROTTEN ONE

Don't miss Ginger Baker and Steve Vai!
I love his collaborations as well, I thought Timezone was great, and he's the one that turned me on to Leftfield!
Don't leave out Jim Walker.
Absolutely brilliant performance by one of my favourite bands!
What a concert!The guitar sound is awesome....Their tracks sound much better live than on record.The energy on stage is really high.Greetings from Italy!

lineup:
John Lydon - After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed Public Image Ltd in 1978. Outside of PiL John has released several solo records and collaborations. He also brings quality TV to the masses.
Lu Edmonds - Multi instrumentalist and former guitarist in The Damned Lu joined PiL in 1986 recording and playing on the album Happy? and co-writing the album ‘9’ adding yet another dimension to the PiL sound.
Bruce Smith - Former drummer in The Pop Group and The Slits became percussionist for PiL also in 1986 playing and recording on the albums Happy? and ‘9’. Seen as a drumming virtuoso, Bruce Smith brought his unique style into the fold.

Its not a left field cover he was co writer
Cheers mate. The late John Mcgeoch was PIL's guitarist from 1986 - 92.
Andrew Madinc
Wasn't John a member of Leftfield??
theselector no but he featured on one of their songs. Open Up.
Easily the best PiL lineup since the early days of Levene and Wobble. John really shows how great a performer he can be with a great band backing him up.
He puts me in mind of Captain Beefheart (of whom he was a big fan): extraordinary voice, constantly changing backing band, weird lyrics...
They sound great.

Legend! Wasted on this crowd! Education, education, education! One of the most influential performers of the 20th century right there!
I wasn't in the punk queue and couldn't follow their sounds "back then", but these blokes have stayed with their core. Im glad to hear this concert was well received by the crowd. It was a sunny day and John realizes that the sun should be celebrated. there was a sunny tone....never heard that in the past.
Great guitar work!
Great performance. Perfect groove
Briljant. Great voice And superb performance.
