PiL in 1983 made their legendary first visit to Japan possible. A classic video representing that era has been decided to be released. Such a classic was photographed in Bochum on October 31, 1983. This is a multi-camera professional shot taken when he appeared on West Germany's famous program "ROCKPALAST". Speaking of 1983, it was a turning point year when Keith Levin left the country before his first visit to Japan. Under such circumstances, let's look back at the schedule at that time to see what position this work will be in.・January 29: Brooklyn performance ・March 4: Philadelphia performance ・March 26 - April 4: North America (5 performances) ・June 10: Los Angeles performance ・June 21 - July 5 Sunday: First visit to Japan (9 performances) [August "LIVE IN TOKYO" released] October 28th - December 13th: Europe (29 performances) ←★Here★ This is PiL in 1983. Records from that time are often ambiguous, and details such as the number of performances in the above schedule are uncertain. The timing of Keith's departure is not clear, but since he is coming to Japan, it is likely to be from late spring to early summer. After such a performance in Japan, they began full-scale operation with a European tour. The Bochum performance of this work was the second stage of such a “European” leg. This work, taken at such a show, is truly an official quality masterpiece. After all, "ROCKPALAST" is a famous program that mass-produces historical masterpiece videos by various bands and artists, and is on par with the UK's "THE OLD GRAY WHISTLE TEST" and the US's "DON KIRSHNER'S ROCK CONCERT." It is not uncommon for many bands to make it official later in life, and it has become a quasi-official position. For that reason, this work is also a multi-camera professional shot that is more beautiful and perfectly crafted than the poor official video. The beautiful visuals depict a passionate performance that brings to mind ``LIVE IN TOKYO.'' Their first visit to Japan was also a video work called ``Japan '83'', but it only had 7 songs. This work has plenty of repertoire that cannot be seen there. Let's organize the set of this work without hiding it here. Public Image (4 songs) Public Image/Annalisa/Religion/Low Life This Is What You Want (3 songs) Solitaire (★)/This Is Not A Love Song/Bad Life (★) Others ( 4 songs) ・Metal Box: Memories (★) ・Flowers of Romance: Flowers of Romance/ Under The House (★) ・Katte Shiyagare!!: Anarchy in the U.K. (★) *Note: “★ ” are songs that cannot be seen in the official video “Japan '83.” ...and it looks like this. The live album “LIVE IN TOKYO” was longer than the video version “Japan ’83”, but you can still enjoy “Public Image”, “Memories”, and “Anarchy in the U.K.”, which you could not listen to, in official quality. “Anarchy in the U.K.” is especially delicious. They are by no means a substitute for the Pistols, but there is no way I can't help but get excited about the legendary super masterpiece sung by Lydon's voice when he was still in his 20s. In addition to the approximately 1-hour actual stage, there will also be a 40-minute ultra-realistic rehearsal of the day (looking at the station logo, I wonder if this scene was also broadcast. How bitter...) and interviews are also included as bonuses. This is a definitive video work recorded. A quasi-official item with "1983" appearing from every corner of the screen.
