Public Image Limited played in Brooklyn tonight. They were awesome. That 3 piece band played tight and loud and were the perfect backup for the legend Johnny Rotten.
PIL opened with "This is Not a Love Song" and that was about it for the hits.
Instead they played deep cuts from the first few albums.
Rotten was in great form and did a magnificent job on song like Flowers of Romance and Religion (which gave me chills).
I haven't seen PIL in about 20 years ( in 89 they toured with Big Audio Dynamite) and they were as powerful as ever.
At one point Johnny admonishes a jerk in the crowd for spitting on him.
He said "You spit on your enemies. I am not your enemy. Never was.
Save it for Sarah Palin."
Johnny Rotten is my hero. I love that man. Long may he run.
