The concert began in darkness. Then the lights were on as Public Image Ltd. took the stage, their logo on a banner hanging from the back wall as the band struck up the first chords of their opener "This Is Not a Love Song." The crowd was already wild, dancing, cheering, and jumping up and down.
John Lydon, clad in pinstripes, took off his suit jacket in the middle of a break from singing amidst cheers from the audience before continuing his unique sing-songy growling and trilling into the microphone. Waving his hands back and forth like a mad scientist, John Lydon, with his shock of bleached hair, was a sight to behold while performing. It was obvious that he was feeling the music entirely and letting it work its way through his limbs as he continued performing the remainder of the concert.
When John asked if the audience was ready in the middle of "This Is Not a Love Song," the audience triumphantly cheered "Yes!" and they weren't lying. It didn't matter what song they played; the audience was hanging on every word, every note of each song they performed. Two of the most extraordinary cheers from the audience came after "Death Disco," and their closer "Open Up."
