Good quality audience recording of PiL during their commercially-successful mid-1980s phase, which means a slicker sound than before, in keeping with the prevailing trends. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'm not so sure now... Lydon gets extremely annoyed at the repeated spitting during this show (can't blame him, really) and eventually walks off during 'Public Image', repeatedly stating that he'll never play London again. He has, of course, and will be this December when he reconvenes a version of PiL for a short UK tour.

The same thing happened at the Palladium NYC in July '86. Someone spit, he cursed out the audience and said he would never play in New York again.
