  • PiL at Terminal 5

    by Diver8 on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Wow. John Lydon seems to be doing the best shows now that he is in his 50's compared to 20 or 30 years ago with PiL. The show was amazing and his band were great. The guitar player was like a character out of an Oliver Twist novel. John has forged a unique sound that is his alone and much like painters painting, or a poets poetry, really expresses his personal outlook and soul, encompassing politics, personal beliefs, and experience in this thing we call life. Was blown away by his message of "oneness" and how we all were included in this family of people his music has created called PiL. Go Johnny Go.

  • PiL Burns Down the House

    by xplan on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    From start to finish one of the best rock and roll shows i've ever seen. PiL launched right in with This Is Not A Love Song and ran song after song with unbelievable intensity. Lydon's voice was unreal, strong every note attacked with purpose. His dancing was something bizarre yet had a soft pleasant feel that I could watch forever. The band rocked every song hard with wild, fast, yet precise flailing on some kind of guitar, numerous basses and drums. Building and building each song into a wild frenzy like a left right punch. The show was sick, beautiful, stuck in my head, something you never see anymore. One of those shows i'll never forget

  • Public Image Ltd. the best show Ive seen this year

    by newmarc on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    John Lydon aka Rotten is definitley a great showman. The band was much better than I expected. It was great to see Lu on guitar being a big Damned fan. Excellent! Johnny is just fasinating to see live. Im very glad I went.

  • awesome

    by rotclash on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Johnny was in great form and entertaining as usual the band was just as tight. One of the best concerts of the year. Just hope I don't have to wait so long for the next tour.

  • PiL - Johnny Rotten Rocks!

    by Ferrisfarm on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    The band was amazing, high energy, looked and sounded great. A good mix of popular and deeper stuff! The crowd was a bit of a dud, though.

  • PiL was fantastic!

    by barbiana on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    John was in great voice and the band played amazingly well. The show was over 2 hours long, too. They played practically everything off the 1st record.

  • Rotten Rocks!

    by Maimun on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    PIL was EXCELLENT! Rotten sounded as good as he did, or better than when I last saw him in 1989 at the Palladium. His enthusiasm, stage presence and entertaining were superb. He was very gracious as well. The rest of the band was also very good. PIL fans would love this show. Great selection of their historic works. Terminal 5 continues to be one of the, if not the WORST venue in Manhattan, where it is a struggle to see the band, due to the layout of the venue.

    Challenging setlist, ranging from brilliant to absolutely miserable selections. Moderately adequate performance with a rented bassist and second generation performers. Bright spots included "Flowers of Romance" and show opener "This is Not a Love Song". Weakest link? John Lydon/Rotten. The vocal performances on the original recordings are limited, but work. Live he made them even more limited, reducing all of his songs to about three different yelps. His stage presence was no less redundant and repetitive, to the point where he became annoying. And I'm a big fan of his. Band failed to motivate a devoted PiL crowd. Yawns, ear covering, and early departures abounded. "This is called fun" Lydon said near the end of the set, as if he had to forcibly remind people what they had paid to see and didn't get.

  • Pil was amazing.

    by vinced on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    18 years since I last saw a Pil show, They are even better. With no album to promote, the band played for more than two hours. Playing a great collection of their songs, the band was tighter than I remember. Johnny was in great form, a great performance. See them, sign them to your label!

  • pil was great!

    johnny lydon put on a great performance!! very happy i attended

  • He is still alive and punking

    by PostPunk on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    Sid Vicious would be rolling over in his grave right about now. PIL with f ront man Johnny Rotton is still rocken and still got a great voice but what I could not understand was the light show. PIL with a light show, what is that??? I gues it is 2010 and not 1980 so he has joined the times. I did not see the spit and vigor in him that I did when I saw PIL around 30 years ago. I also did not see any slamming, surfing or jumping on stage and I wonder if he spit on anyone? The show was good but more modern that I expected. The venue sucked though Terminal 5

  • Rotten & Co. Were Inspirational

    by shakingobscene on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Not too often do you get an opportunity to see a living legend like John Lydon plying his craft and -- notwithstanding his advancing years -- at the top of his game. It was an inspirational performance for me and I have been listening to PIL on my BlackBerry ever since the show.

  • PIL still rocks after all these years!

    by GatitaNegra on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    I saw PIL in 1985 and Johnny Lydon was even better last night at Terminal 5 than he was back then. His voice is as strong as ever and he was on total fire. If you like PIL, don't miss this tour!!

  • Fantastic-PIL

    by Oddly on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The show was awesome. John outdid himself on this one. The band was tight, Excellent is an understatement. My only regret was not getting tickets to the brooklyn show too.

  • incredible!

    by nycpilfan on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

  • PIL

    by JohnLyndonNYC on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Preformance of the Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIL One of the greatest bands of all time! They don't make bands like this anymore.

  • Heavy Duty

    by SchoollyD on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    This was NOT a pop show, so I think some people were a little taken aback. The musicians were amazing and Mr. Lydon is a top-notch professional. Even humble, believe it or not.

  • Johnny Rotten's still got it

    by newyorkavore on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    They played for hours and he was unstoppable. Like a noise rock opera. Love Lydon!

  • One of the best shows this year

    by splungent on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    PiL at Terminal 5 was one of the best shows I have seen this year. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the show was. They played a lot of old favorites from Generic, First Edition and Second Edition. Go see this show if it comes to your town.

  • John still rocks.

    by JustLou on 5/19/10Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    What else can I say. John and PiL still rock. Glad they're back on tour after 18 years.
