| Notes | The infamous Ritz "Riot". At short notice PiL are brought in to replace Bow Wow Wow – and thanks to no rehearsal, and the fact the Ritz is equipped with a large video screen – the show is planned, not be a rock n roll gig, but to be a "video performance". PiL play behind a large screen, on which pre-taped video footage is projected. However, the audience doesn't get the concept (or joke...) and smashes the venue apart after 25 minutes! As chaos rages throughout, Levene threatens the crowd, "If you destroy that screen, we will destroy you". |
