Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart - Live in Holland (1982-1983, UK)
FM Source @VBR
Time to get some dub in our hearts! Whilst Public Image were an interesting vehicle for Johnnie 'Rotten' Lydon post-Pistols, the real stars were the two new musicians - Jah Wobble on bass and Keith Levene on guitar. PiL soon split, and the TV cameras followed the big naughty boy, but the musicos followed the other two. Here, thanks to the great GREAT wiels of Holland, are two live gigs by Jah Wobble post-PiL, backed notably by Annie Whitehead, the best dub trombonist since Don Drummond or Rico Rodriguez, and I don't say that lightly. Wiels saved these Dutch FM recordings for our listening pleasure, and pleasure it is ... in 2011, Wobble and Levene performed a few gigs as "Metal Box in Dub", available upon kind request in the comments.
