Product Description
Public Image Ltd (PiL) are an English post-punk band formed by vocalist John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), guitarist Keith Levene and bassist Jah Wobble, with frequent subsequent personnel changes. Lydon is the sole constant member of the band. Lydon emerged after the break-up of the Sex Pistols with PiL's First Issue (1978). His new band had a more experimental sound: Wobble's droning, slow-tempo, bass-heavy noise rock, overlaid by Lydon's distinctive, vituperative rant.Their early work is often regarded as some of the most challenging and innovative music of the post-punk era. Their 1979 album Metal Box was ranked number 469 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The NME described PiL as arguably the first post-rock group. Shortly after the end of the Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten (or John Lydon, as he called himself after the Pistols) had built a new career with his new band Public Image Limited. The early albums,First Issue ,Metal Box and Flowers Of Romance are now seen as absolute classics of post punk and the highlights of these albums are united in this unique Rockpalast concert. There is also a sought after, at that time very rarely performed version of the Sex Pistols classic Anarchy In The UK.

AT LAST ! (A DREAM COME TRUE)
1 Mar 2012
Man I used to have this on a VHS-to-DVD transfer and while the sound was good, the picture sucked. Now the people who released this has obviously had access to the first gen original tapes from the WDR german channel and have put out a top-notch product.
The performance is insane. All of the musicians set their instruments on fire, as does Lydon with his throat. The intensity is such it will make you feel as if the air in your room is about to chain-react. It lasts for about just an hour; short but it is TV fellas. There is a 6' interview with Lydon and a soundcheck on which they play a whole song non-stop in the guise of extras.
The picture is sharp and detailed, with no or almost imperceptible artifacting present.The LPCM stereo-only audio is loud, dynamic and MASSIVE, with a very good mix .
This is without a doubt the holy grail of PIL visual documents. Now if only their last reunion gigs had been filmed.....but the guys I know who attended those shows didn't see any filming crews so slim chance there. Someday....maybe. If you live long enough you get to see almost everything getting released.
Buy and treasure this puppy, if you don't like it, e-mail me for a refund :-P
