Previously the lead vocalist of the popular punk band the Sex Pistols, Lohn Lydon formed Public Image Ltd after the breakup of the Sex Pistols in 1978. Lydon asked childhood friend, Jah Wobble to form a band together, later adding Kevin Levene and John Walker. By May 1978 the whole band had come together and had started rehearsing together and released a debut single “Public Image.” Despite having a few setbacks with their debut album, they released “Public Image: First Issue,” in December 1978.
In early 1979 Walker left the band, which resulted in a series of drummers to replace him, as well as a series of recorded songs. Public Image Ltd. had a series of shows, including a tour of the United States. In 1980 the band saw the release of “Paris Au Printemps,” which also happened to be the last album that included Jah Wobble (who was never formally replaced). Throughout the 80s the band released five albums, as well as a series of tours and in 1990 they released their first compilation, “Greatest Hits, So Far.” They released their last studio album before taking an extended hiatus in 1992 entitled “That What Is Not.” The band did not reunite until 2009 for a series of shows in the United Kingdom.
The concert began in darkness. Then the lights were on as Public Image Ltd. took the stage, their logo on a banner hanging from the back wall as the band struck up the first chords of their opener "This Is Not a Love Song." The crowd was already wild, dancing, cheering, and jumping up and down.
John Lydon, clad in pinstripes, took off his suit jacket in the middle of a break from singing amidst cheers from the audience before continuing his unique sing-songy growling and trilling into the microphone. Waving his hands back and forth like a mad scientist, John Lydon, with his shock of bleached hair, was a sight to behold while performing. It was obvious that he was feeling the music entirely and letting it work its way through his limbs as he continued performing the remainder of the concert.
When John asked if the audience was ready in the middle of "This Is Not a Love Song," the audience triumphantly cheered "Yes!" and they weren't lying. It didn't matter what song they played; the audience was hanging on every word, every note of each song they performed. Two of the most extraordinary cheers from the audience came after "Death Disco," and their closer "Open Up."
