Public Image Limited Performing Public Image Live At Apollo Theatre In Oxford 21-5-1986

[XellKamikaze]

I don't think he's going out of his way to sing like this. It sounds like he has a cold if you ask me.

So much confusion!

This was recorded on PiL's "album" tour in mid 1986. The exact date of this show was the 24th of May.

The lineup for the show was as follows:

Lydon: vocals

John McGeoch: lead guitar

Allan Dias: Bass guitar

Lu Edmonds: rythm guitar and keyboards

Bruce Smith: drums

The setlist was:

Kashmir - FFF - Annalisa - Fishing - Poptones - Pretty Vacant - Banging the door - Flowers - Bags - Round - Home - Public image - Rise - Low Life - World Destruction - Ease.

forgot to mention it was at the Apollo Theatre in Oxford

[mtvlion]

excellent sound from PIL 1986, now if we could only get the opening instrumental of Kashmir into FFF

[coshthedriver78]

an excellent recording.

PIL are the business.

[lossomallen]

It is Pil, 1986 at Oxford. I have the bootleg.

I don't think it could be early PiL... as far as I know, Keith and John (and maybe Jah) were already planning to form the band even before the Sex Pistols basically disintegrated.

[BLIDKIN]

Definitely not Wobble on the bass or Levine on guitar. Maybe Atkins on drums, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. This sounds like mid to late '80s PiL to me. I laughed my way through it, Lydon sings the ENTIRE song off key!

[lydonfan]

I would say 1983 for this.....

[Slance1Himself]

This has to be one of the first PiL's performances... He sings still kinda like back with the Sex Pistols, but I'm pretty sure that it's performed by PiL

[track8fodderstompf]

Ive never heard him sing like this.

I think its very early, possibly very early 1978.

I doesnt sound like levene or wobble are playing though "/

[DakotaPunk]

hard choice........but i would say the sex pistols
