i'd like to go, i'm 50/50

i hate the venue, and i'm skeptical of these rash of nostalgia act re-uniting

but, i think the world of john lydon ,and i've been wating to see him again since 90/91 ... his solo tour never happened in the late 90s

not a great incentive:

I saw the original lineup the very first time they toured America - in NYC at the Beacon, if memory serves... but don't hold me to it - that was a long time ago.

Caught them last night on Kimmel - Lydon is his usual ragged current self; however, the guitarist was pretty impressive. I miss Jah Wobble... wonder whatever happened to him?

Did anyone else see PiL play live on this tour? I saw them in Baltimore, and the show was INCREDIBLE! It was not a tired reunion show. John Lydon sang with so much feeling it was moving. So good I can't stop thinking about it, and it's been a week!

NPR has a webcast up of the live show in DC, and it is fantastic if anyone wants to take a listen. Here is a link to it:
