shame, saw them last night in Glasgow and they were f*cking amazing. Got free tickets and i wasn't expecting much but i was seriously blown away by how good they were
I made these Pil videos with the help of some friends. Though I'm not happy it leaked into the bootleg world, the toothpaste is out of the tube. It's gratifying that people are getting to see it (9 generation vhs dub;-) and from the comments, enjoying it. Thanks for the kind words. -Paul
Makes the hairs on the back of my neck come up, awe inspiring, a piece of true majesty and power, unsurpassed to this day in my opinion. Play it at the start of a current pistols gig and watch all concerned hang their heads in shame...Thanks loads for sharing the clip!
Lol, this is the 5th time ive watched this now! I would have commented earlier but this is just so awe-inspiring i couldn't move!
You've really made my day, thank you. Just a shame that the original director of the gildersleeves gig only cut the actual video down to five songs, I would have loved to have seen the whole thing.
thank you SO SO much for uploading these last two videos. this version of careering is incredible. i didn't think that a better version than the old grey whistle test version existed but this blows that one out of the water. levene is just incredible here. i feel like a special needs child trying to play guitar after watching this. one million thanks again.

This is the classic PIL line up & none of these people are involved in the PIL Dec 2009 tour so count me out.

Thanks for this. Keith is still one of my favorite guitarists/artists. When I was younger I copied his hairdo from this period.

Great footage..I read your interview you did with Scott M from Fodderstompf as well..if you want me to take these videos down I will.
Absolute class,you captured PiL the way they were meant to be captured on film!

@PaulJD2006 Why was it never released officially? Surely there's still a market for the original recording?

Man, I'd kill to go back and see this gig;i was 13 at the time , though...
by the time i was going to shows, everything turned to bad hardcore and boring-assed "college rock"

cool sounds on the guitar - like elephant squeals - almost looks like one of those ancient stringed instruments gone electric

The great thing about PiL is that they play until they think they've played enough. That's clear with this version of Careering
