PiL Live in Ballina, Australia - 28.12.1984.  (Thanks Mick & B.A)

Direct transfer from an old PAL video. The picture is pretty grainy and time-worn and the camera work isn't the greatest unfortunately.

DVD features high quality artwork and amimated menu screen.

Pasadena, CA, Convention Centre - 8.11.1982.  (Thanks Mick).

DVD features high quality artwork as well as a 2nd sound track option. The gig can be viewed with the original camcorder audio track or with the better quality bootleg audio which has been over-dubbed.

Ok picture considering the age and probable lineage of this tape.

Public image Ltd - The 1992 Collection.  (Thanks Mick).

This is a 3 disc compilation featuring live gigs, interviews and TV appearances from 1992.

Since most of this footage was obtained in the 90's it is very low generation therefore a lot better quality than some of the versions that have done the rounds through the years.

The UC Irvine footage has a 2nd sound-track option. The 2nd source is a complete soundboard recording from the gig.

PiL Live @ the Sziget Fesztivàl - 12.8.2010.  (Thanks Mick & Gazsi).

Filmed from the crowd with a normal digital camera the quality is good but not perfect. There are good closeups, mostly of Lydon.

This recording was sent to me as an AVI file which I have since 'mastered' onto a DVDR. I have added a second soundtrack option (soundboard recording of the gig!) because the original audio from the digital camera is only in mono.

I am not a fan of live DVD's - I find them pretty boring to be honest, but this is one of the better ones. The fact that it's outdoors and in daylight make it more interesting than most of the other DVD's that are around.

There is a break between Warrior & Bags as the cameraman had to change SD cards.

The first few seconds of Bags is missing.

PiL Live in Cardiff 2011.  (Thanks Mick & Dragon).

This "DVD" is merely a poor attempt to construct the gig from bits and pieces of YouTube footage.

Since most of the clips have been filmed on mobile phones the quality is abysmal to say the least. A few of the clips are ok-ish, but the constant quality variations between clips gets very annoying.

Most clips are also vastly incomplete, so there are few actual complete songs.

Not really worth bothering about to be honest.
