San Francisco, CA, South of Market Cultural Centre - 10.5.1980. (Thanks Mick & Glyn) 

The tape is a little muddy unfortunately, but it's a fantastic gig from the Wobble era.

After Careering Lydon makes a comment about Billy Graham, but I can't quite make it out.

The band are in great form and produce one cracking version after another. Annalisa and Low Life are particularly remarkable.

Although tracklists state that Fodderstompf was the opening number, it is actually just a drum and bass jam with the bassline of Fodderstompf not even being played!

Wobble's bass pounds relentlessly on this bootleg so don't be surprised if your speakers vibrate uncontrollably. On cheaper systems it may prove problematic however.

Public image sounds a bit shambolic and as though Keith is about to stop playing at any moment. Poptones, Home... and Memories are performed as encores, despite the fact that the band don't actually leave the stage. As Lydon puts it; "We're just gonna wait here for the encore, save us walking up and down the fucking stairs."

There is a cut between Death Disco and Public image.
