- Опубликовано: 23 фев 2018
- Public Image Limited - live in the Whistle Test studio may 20th 1986. This was the first broadcast, it was repeated late at night with an additional track. I recorded this on a Sony C6 Betamax VCR, using Scotch video tape. By chance I recorded the full show, other guests in the studio were The Smiths, with features on Big Country, Peter Gabriel and promos from WASP, Tears for Fears and the Rolling Stones.

R.I.P. John McGeoch, one of the most innovative guitar players ever.
RIP John McGeoch
John is a legend as allways, great line up and album is amazing.
Nice to see you looking back over previous uploads to this channel.
@@ScottishTeeVee hi yes allways look forward, just one question way back in the 1980s on channel 4 do you remember alternative top of the pops 1982 or 1983 ??
@@markgreet3543 I really can't remember an alternate edition, so I looked up the TV listings for those years and see nothing, its a puzzle.
Hi it was only on once i think it had a chartrun down but i guess it's not easy to find.
PIL have had 3 of the best guitarists, Levine, Mcgeoch & Lou Edmunds
Yup
And remember, the lead guitar for "Album" was Steve Vai (and Album is some of his best work)

Remember watching this at the time... awesome album, and Morrissey singing Vicar in a Tutu
Saw a clip of this 1988 loved it. John suits were so stylish he was looking amazing still does for his age.
I remember watching this as I was lessening a mansion in Surrey at the time , quite by chance the cheap place I ever lived.
This was the most extraordinary music performance I had watched since the pistols, and PIL on the Ogwt 02/12/80, poptones,
I thought why did the Ogwt Fade / cut Round , and the cameras should of kept rolling
Thanks for posting this wonderful PIL Performance.
😊
Thanks for watching and commenting Alan
This came from one of the best albums of the 80's,,,,,ALBUM
Still one of my favourite PIL albums
Oh, John Mcgeoch!
Yes your right He was in pil from 1986-1992
@@Ct-rq8zy Funny how all the wanker journalists now queuing up to applaud McGeogh because of the book that's out were first to slag off this incarnation of PiL. Loved this version as much as the Wobble/Levene/Atkins days.
When I was 15 doing a work experience at dinner timei popped down to the record shop,there I found public image ltd first issue already 10 years old at the time
Thanks for uploading this. I've been trying to find this footage for years.
Glad you enjoyed it
Same, I saw this at the time when I was 15. Absolutely fantastic
McGeoch hadn't really got to grips with the virtuoso style playing at this point (the middle 8s in both Home AND Round seen here are really underwhelming), but by late 87 he was getting there and in 88 and especially 89 he was killing those Steve Vai parts. It worked out well though because Happy? in the meantime (1987) retained a lot of his more recognised arpeggiated style of playing. It's a great album (Happy?) and McGeoch is a legendary guitarist. 9 had a lot of cool hard rock riffs and some tentative virtuoso guitar lines compared to Happy?, but it was too drowned out by the dreadful production. Live however, McGeoch was a beast in 1989 and did all of those songs justice. In a roundabout way, 9 was originally intended to be produced by Bill Laswell, producer of Album, the LP we're watching Johnny and the boys showcase here in 86! Interestingly, Laswell didn't rate this group of musicians and wanted to bring his own guys in - thats why Laswell was fired from producing 9 after just 2 days. He did however want to keep McGeoch on his roster.
The smiths also features in this episode singing vicar in a tutu big mouth strikes again from the album the queen is dead rough trade records broadcast 20th of may 1986 al
P.I.L. = P.retty I.mpressive L.ondoners. I played the FUCK out of Album/Cassette/CD. Powerhouse band I never get tired of. Thanks for the massive upload!
I saw them the same year that this was recorded at Brixton.. only band to ever make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.. lydons vocals riding the most sumptuous delicate yet immensely powerful wall of noise.. unfucking believable.. x
They were very good live on this tour. You were lucky to have been at the Brixton gig
@@ScottishTeeVee It was memorable for many things that night.. bit of a lively night to say the least... Lol
Lydon really has an ear for quality musicians.
Saw em on this tour. Amazing line up. Opened with an instrumental version of Kashmir.
thank you
Great line up.
Awesome
For a second there, I wondered what John Noakes was doing introducing PIL.
There is a similarity there for sure. 🙂 Accents are much the same as they were born and raised just 13 miles apart.
@@ScottishTeeVee
That's interesting, thanks.
I've met Lu as well lovely guy.
Huge sex pistols fan and collector but I do enjoy public image ltd.seen pistols 6 times live on reunion tour met John 2013 after a public image ltd gig he's a nice guy respect
Classic PIL
The sweet spot of PiL's line up. Can you imagine being in a band with John McGeogh and Keith Levene on guitars and John Lydon fronting?
That is Lou Edmonds not Keith Levine.
My bad. You are correct @@manofthewest67
John's suits are looking cute
Would love to see the footage of Big Country and the Smiths
Johnny’s still delivering with as much punch and attitude as ten years previous here but was struggling to be relevant in the mid 80s as so much had changed, mainly due to him!
Anyway one of the ladies only about 18 asked me what I bought from the shop, when she saw public image ltd her face dropped like what the hell is that 😳 some people have no taste
Was this when it was the John Lyndon showband days ?
No, that was earlier, the 1983 tour, this touring band were far better, you are watching former members of The Damned, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Slits and Sex Pistols,
@@ScottishTeeVee ..and Magazine and The Pop Group.
Nuclear war
Progressive rock Andy Kershaw?!
That comment gives away that his list of great bands from the 1980's has only one name on it...
What a car crash of a performance.
This is really good; these guys were underappreciated.
