Seattle, WA, The Showbox Theatre - 12.11.1982.  (Thanks Mick) 

"So this is Seattle!"

A fantastic quality bootleg and an excellent performance.

PiL open with probably the best live version of Theme they ever played, followed by an equally fantastic Where are you? There's a lot of audience chatter between songs, but you can still hear all of Lydon's comments perfectly clearly due to the general good quality of the recording.

There's a very brief quality drop out on Annalisa, but it only lasts a few seconds.

Definitely an essential recording, as are most from the fantastic '82 lineup.

"We were paid to do one hour and that's what we've done - goodbye!" says Lydon after Low Life, but they return to the stage for two encores.

There's a cut between Mad Max and Death Disco, probably where the tape was turned.

Some traders lists state Shoebox instead of Showbox, probably due to the incompatability of the qwerty system with chubby fingers!

There is a 2 second cut during Religion, but nothing is actually missing.

There is a cut between Low Life and Under the House.
