God Save The Sex Pistols - Public Image Limited - Sheffield City Hall, May 8th 1986: The Soundcheck

Thought you might like to share these. They were taken by myself at the soundcheck at Sheffield City Hall in '86.
A brilliant P.I.L gig (Album tour) followed but was subsequently cut short during the first encore of Low Life when some mindless idiot threw a billiard ball at John.
It missed him fortunately; the damage it could have caused does not even bear thinking about, but that incident promptly ended the gig - and rightly so.
(I was at this show also and remember the incident well. I recall a very good performance of Tie Me To Length of That - Phil)
John seemed very interested in the '83 tour programme he was signing for me in these pictures, in particular the photographs of young Rotten as an 8 or 9 year old child that were inside the programme which prompted him to write "A true star" as well as signing this and many other items that day.
