PIL - Theatre 140, Brussels, Belgium - 20th December 1978

So here we are 2018 - the 40th Anniversary of Public Image Ltd's creation.
After the demise of the Sex Pistols the World waited for Johnny Rotten's next project. He gave us P.I.L.
It's not been an easy journey. Many, many members have come and gone. Record companies have been less than supportive and for a while PIL disappeared.
Fast forward to 2018 - PIL are still here. Reappearing in 2009 - a line up that is still working together 9 years later ( a miracle for PIL). Touring, making new records - a fans dream come true.

So this year I have decided to share every last PIL audience recording I own (unless there's an official release out there) - Some are not widely circulated, some are better quality or more complete versions that what has been available - a couple are absolute bloody awful quality - not worth listening to (these will be shared for the completest nutters out there like myself) - there just maybe an Acid Drops exclusive among them. So keep looking in.

Tonight I give you a copy of PIL's first ever gig, easily available, but not on this blog, so here it is.
