All of it is incredible - the heavily dub-influenced bass is amazing, too. I'm not really that into the Pistols, but PIL is out of this world, to me. Love the use of phaser/flanger and chorus sounds here on the guitar - sooo good.

Saw them play in New York, Palladium Theater. Mick Jones and Jerry Harrison seated not too far from me (they were not together!). Quite the apocalyptic show.

Keith Levine and his Travis Bean inventing Post Punk with PIL. Good to remember just how important Metal Box was. Goodbye Keith and thanks for all the music.

Hearing Metal Box for the first time with a few mates we were looking at each other thinking WTF is this ?! After a few listens it became a classic , Keith’s guitar work made it so different to what was happening at the time . RIP Keith 🎸⭐️🎸⭐️🙏🏻

the transition into Careering... jacket off, synth on, camera effects on - 10/10

this gig is 100 years ahead in time...incredible

The most totally organic sound ever. Send chills to your core.

RIP Keith Levene. The way Lydon keeps looking at Keith, (the "Yes" roadie), almost unbelieving of the sound coming from his guitar is classic. Even with the indomitable Jah Wobble driving the sound. Steve Howe would have been proud.

Great live performance hi quality recording with a relaxing hypnotic atmospherics ambience for the first PIL song. The second song is more dynamic energetic powerful with a crazy weirdly apocalyptic atmospherics ambience. This is a good example of PIL contrasting Song's a trade mark of what is PIL: Original, Rich, Finest, Smart, Unconventional, Experimental,No commercial & Avantgarde Live Band!

OMG years ahead. That line up just wow. For me, over 40 years of loving this music. Wow

Saw them in SF, 82'. Fifteen years old. Scariest show ever. Massive crowd. One of the best shows I ever been to.

Bless you... Your comment finally led me to the pedal I needed!

This absolute beauty of a song gets played in all my cars not just Japanese & long may it continue. Class 🖤✌️

"There is bacteria" = "lyric" = so good. OMG I love the heavy af electronica here. More than I heard on their 80s albums... beautiful.

so excellent. RIP Levine

Useless trivia: the guitar line for Poptones is lifted from Yes' Starship Trooper. No surprise given Levine's Howe worship.

The greatest Pil line up.

What an incredible song, this is about a girl who was abducted and gangraped by a group of men. When questioned by the police all she could remember was that she was dragged into a "Japanese car", the "smell of rubber on concrete tar" and that they were playing what she called "Poptones" on the cassette player One of the greatest and most beautiful songs ever written.

Great version of Careering.

RIP Punk pioneer and founder of The Clash Keith Levene (65) has died.

All cylinders. All powered. You can only grasp the horror of this song from PIL's live performances. I missed them this early but, got the Box on the day it was released in the states. I saw them later with John McGeoch on guitar.

Public Imagane Ltd started from the top with John Lydon and is still very high. Long live John Lydon with his great music! - Coolman :)

unreal performance

RIP Keith Levene.

Jah Wobble on bass. He' s amazing!

Martin Atkins is incredible on the skins!.

Outstanding tunes 🎸🥁🥁🎤👏

Just brilliant

That was hypnotic 😉 had me feeling a certain way, not sure why. Amazing to listen to.

Crackin' track, nice one Travis👍

I remember my brother getting a cassette deck & putting 2 microphones on the TV speaker when this was transmitted in 1980. I had to stfu whilst this was on. PiL were light years ahead. Even Lydon knows in 2022 that he is not this good .

Love it so much

A Junkie guitarist + a great drummer that they apparently don't really get on with + a man who has no experience playing a bass guitar + a man who writes words but really can't "sing" = brilliance.

The back cover of second edition is on the music stand this has all the lyrics albeit in an unusual printed form BTW if you had this copy only the vinyls were only red/black green / yellow and no titles for the tracks anywhere For years I didn't know what each track was I guessed albatros careering pop tones

The Pistols was either a profiteer's scam or a conceptual art performance piece, depending on your frame of reference. This, on the other hand, is music made by artists.

🤘👍👍

Rotten in full Rod Hull mode.

Lyndon biopic coming soon... who could possibly pull that off well...

This was on public TV? What were they trying to do to the public, my god?

Public Image Limited - PopTones, Careering Live The Old Grey Whistle Test 12.02.80. 10.3.24. the best line up....? a very self indulgent band......nice to see musicians get over themselves eventually as well as big A's ire... the anti music agenda must have visited either that or the big A's visiting aunt Irma.....

I think to appreciate this, you need to hear it on 10 grands worth of audio equipment, blasting out in an empty warehouse. Getting feed back off Bob Harris beard,just doesn't cut it man.

The Manic Street Preachers said that this era of PIL was their influence for the sound of The Holy Bible.

In a way you can look at this as a total Joy Division rip. But that wouldn't be right either because John is ahead of the game at this point. Weird shit/weird Thoughts.
