Thank you Don for preserving truly important documents in music history!!

    Seen them many times through the years...first show they did in San Francisco was beyond epic...og lineup & Flipper opened -1980...SOMA cultural center...I felt even back then that I was lucky I was there...Wobbles bass & Martin Atkins drums shook that place thoroughly...opened with Fodderstompf...Careering was otherworldly...you get the idea

      Pil should've really ended after the ritz riot show. Even commercial zone wasn't on par with the first 3 albums and after that lydon should've just gone solo and not taint the name of PiL

    • @andchat6241
      @andchat6241 Год назад +6

      Yeah I think most people that bought records or saw PIL in the early years would agree , possibly losing one original member ,Wobble -they were still PIL, but when Keith went that was it really & they then became 'the John Lydon showband' - the absolute last straw was the '83 tour & the 'Live in Tokyo' lp that accurately catches just how awful they'd become...

      Thats what a 'Soundcheck' is - checking the acoustics ,tuning ,mixing board & how the instruments sound together.....(its easy to spot the part of 'Attack' is from the soundcheck & 'Theme' from the gig due to change of clothes..& there being an audience !)
