Dead Men Walking - 5th August 2001, Civic Hall, Guildford Festival
Glen Matlock toured with Dead Men Walking, a quartet of acoustic guitar-playing punk-era veterans that also featured former Alarm leader Mike Peters.
PIL - 15th May 1981, The Ritz, NY aka The Riot Show
This is the only PIL performance in 1981. Every fan knows the story of this famous show where the band played hidden behind a screen so that the audience couldn't see them....of course all those paying customers were not happy & so took out their frustrations by smashing up the venue & having a riot of their own.
There are 2 slightly different versions of this bootleg - I give them both to you
version 1 in FLAC is here
version 2 in MP3 format is HERE

Yeah you read it right - Rich Kids have reformed - Yeeeeeeeeeees! I'm off to see a lot of bands this year but this one announcement has got me really excited. Rich Kids and The Professionals together on the same night. Two ex - Pistols for the price of one.
