Johnnie Lydon still has the same "piss and vinegar" as he did 30 years ago and it was a true JOY to experience him and PIL

Great show, John Lydon has not lost his touch! The band was tight with an impressive mix of musicians, some I believe are original members... Really enjoyed their new songs as well as their classics... And the H.O B. is always a great venue...

A cornucopia a blissful experience of like minded people no words can express thEe experience oV witnessing a "PiL zone" never in my life had I smelled theE amplifiers in thEe venue screaming and begging to be turned down actual smoke came out oV the speakers while Jon Lyndon insisted "more bass, turn up the bass" in a haunting and epic voice. I cannot express that this is a must for all to witness a true company at its best can't wait for the next meeting with thEe PiL company!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to describe PIL's live sound. I heard someone describe it as a Punk Rock Rave. That is a pretty good description. PIL live is equal parts Punk, Funk, Dance, Trance, Rock, and Theatre.
John Lydon is a FORCE onstage. The songs are long and he sings almost every second of them all. No one quite sings like him.
Bottom line is, I was blown away by this show! I found myself wishing I didn't have seats and was on the floor so I could dance.
I am writing this review 2 days after the show and I am still basking in the afterglow of this show.

This was my first event at Club Nokia and I go to a lot of shows. It was definitely one of the best for atmosphere and sound quality.

PiL put on a great show...Johnny's voice sounded amazing and his band was great!

I was lucky enough to get a copy of the set list, too!

I understand that this tour is in support of their new album. But fans of older acts pay money to hear the songs they're familiar with and love. They played at least four tracks from their new album but omitted favs such as "Seattle", "The Order of Death", "Rules and Regulations" and "The Body". They did play "Rise", "Warrior", "Home", "Death Disco", "Disappointed", "The Flowers of Romance" and opened with "This Is Not a Love Song" though.

I had a great time at the show, however, I was a bit disappointed with Lydon and Pil. You would think after not touring for 20 years, Lydon would be excited to be on the road with the band, but I didn't feel his heart was in it. His performance was good, but I didn't feel he had any sort of connection with the audience.

I was also surprised they didn't open with This is PIL from the new CD, in fact they didn't play it all.

The show was amazing! They came out w/a bang & w/non-stop energy that never ended. We feed their need for audience participation & love of their music so they delivered nothing but the best from all 4 of them.

It was a PIL zone for sure, no doubt.
The guys pulled off one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen.
Rock solid performance, superb vibe, steel precision and lots of great energy bouncing all over.
