Public Image Ltd (PiL) - Careering & Poptones, The Old Grey Whstle Test

Here is one of the most powerful performances both Annie Nightingale and I ever saw on The Old Grey Whsitle.  Public Image Limited, PiL at their very very best performing Careering & Poptones in 1980.

Johnny Rotten was still known as John Lydon and his wonderful lyrics and vocal delivery are accompanied by the throbbing bass of Jah Wobble and the screeching synthesizer stabs and flanged guitar chaos of the brilliant Keith Levene.

Without Levene and Wobble John Lydon and Pil were nowhere near the force of the first two albums.

PiL performed Careering and Poptones on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1980 to promote their second album, Metal Box.
