Live At Rockpalast 1983

Recorded live at Rockpalast Zeche Bochum, Germany, October 31st, 1983. From the (then as now) legendary Live At Rockpalast series, and from the same tour as the Live In Tokyo album, this contains a total of 13 songs including the "This Is Not A Love Song" which that year became their biggest UK hit, and the Sex Pistols classic (rarely played by PIL) "Anarchy In The U.K.". Live at Rockpalast 1983 documents PIL at a most unique time in its career. Lydon had fired all members but drummer Martin Atkins, filled the slots with session musicians and then embarked on a European tour. Paradoxically not only does the band tear through jagged, speedy renditions of tunes from PIL's first three albums, but there is an added emphasis on Lydon, who seemed more engaged than almost ever before.
