PIL - 4th December 1983, Hammersmith Palais, London

On this day in 1983 PIL played the Hammersmith Palais. The 'new' band had settled into their roles quite nicely by now & were finally putting in some really good sounding performances. This recording reflects that. This is another one that I personally really enjoy listening to, I'm sure all you PIL fans will as well.

I'm really sorry but I cant remeber where I got this one from originally - leave me a message if it was you & I'll update this with the appropriate credit later (was it you John B?)

Sorry no artwork

By the way, when you download this it will 'have' 19 tracks, IT DOESNT! Some of the 'tracks' were actually just the crowd noise inbetween songs, so I havent mentioned them.
