Re: Public Image Limited
Calling Marky and all PIL experts. Is the full 1979 interview and performance of Chant from ITV's Check It Out circulating on video?

I don't think so. A few years back it was up on YouTube but it's been removed and just an edited version is available.

Fantastic. Great version of "Chant," Lydon in diva mode, and "glad I didn't draw the short straw."Heston wrote: ↑31 Jul 2019, 4:24pmOk, make it "You Matter To Me" by Peter Criss as I know you hate it.

Years since I've seen that. I'm sure though the whole segment starts with your old mate Mensi slagging off Lydon for selling out.Heston wrote: ↑31 Jul 2019, 4:24pmOk, make it "You Matter To Me" by Peter Criss as I know you hate it.

No mate, I have the full episode. Only Mond gets stuck into Johnny as seen in the clip above.

Levene. What a waste. Look at those chord shapes he's playing. Straight up classical fingering.
Fucker was tuned into something very deep. And the smack washed it all away.

I thought it was just the same clip after Chant where the band walk off. But it's the full clip nice one mate.Heston wrote: ↑31 Jul 2019, 6:00pmNo mate, I have the full episode.

If Universal had that footage then that version of Chant would've made the Metal Box box set. They included Death Disco from TOTP.

Re: Public Image Limited
That clip also reinforces how immune to history the band was at that point. It could have been released this year for all a person would know. It's just full-on weirdo music apart from anything around it.

Re: Public Image Limited
This is what set them apart at this time. That attitude that said "we'll make whatever music we want to and are capable of" fuck the current trend and what the record label thinks or if it has any commercial appeal. Of course you have to take into account it was Johnny Rottens new group so he could have released the sound of him taking a shot and it would've sold. Which seems all the more remarkable that "Public Image" was/is such an amazing first single.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Jul 2019, 6:43pmThat clip also reinforces how immune to history the band was at that point.
