Original photograph of John Lydon and Jah Wobble performing with Public Image Ltd. in 1980

N.p. N.p., 1980. Vintage borderless color photograph of John Lydon performing with post-punk band Public Image Ltd. (PiL) at the Palladium in New York on April 19, 1980, with Jah Wobble visible in the background, on the left. Printed label crediting photographer Ebet Roberts affixed to the verso.

PiL embarked on its first American tour in 1980. Lydon's typically confrontational attitude towards audiences (and the general populace) led to hostility both onstage and off. Wobble would leave the group the same year, citing an dissatisfying creative atmosphere and overreliance on alcohol and drugs.

8 x 10 inches. Lightly faded, else about Fine.
