Pressed for Time: An Evening With Public Image Limited

| 13 Aug 2014 | 04:50

    May 18, Terminal 5, 610 W. 56th St. (betw. 11th & 12th Aves.), 212-665-3832; 7, $40.

    It’s funny, add “An Evening With” to an event’s title and you can charge a boatload more. But make no mistake, Public Image Limited, the outfit formed as soon as the Sex Pistols were disbanded (literally) by Johnny Rotten, is worth it. Notably more challenging than the Pistols, PiL’s output has been storied and sporadic. Now reunited, Rotten and a couple other original members are touring in the hopes of raising enough money to release another album.

    Bottom Line: Post-punk pioneers for pre-recession prices—but a chance to see a legend.
