Chicago, IL, Poplar Creek Music Theatre - 30.6.1989 (Thanks Mick)

This gig was part of the Monsters of Alterative Rock tour that PiL did with The Sugarcubes and New Order.

It's a good enough bootleg quality wise and the band are really into it and pull off a great performance! Lydon is being his usual I cannot hear you, it's only Johnny! self and the band seem to be on fire, new member Ted Chau settling in perfectly well

"Well, you've got 1 hour of us, so you can sit there like lemons or enjoy!" demands Lydon before a thundering version of Home. As you can see from below, the setlist focuses on more recent material, but there's the odd classic such as This is Not a Love Song and Public image to keep the ageing fans from feeling left right out of it.

There's a cut between Fishing and Rise, where the tape was flipped.

There is a cut between Public image & World Destruction.
