Seriously ..listen to the explanation why they were there.? ...why?...if it was Paul or even yoko...go fig shit...done said it years ago again

Another 'Flip' exclusive...Its 1990 and Fear of a Black Planet has dropped.
This live show is a template of how live performing should be - PE are legends, nuff said. Back to back classics include Public Enemy No 1, My Uzi weighs a ton, your gonna get yours and Night of the Living Baseheads.The rebels without a pause wreak havoc in this concert, witness hip hop at its most powerful with some words of wisdom in between songs. Clear the way for the Prophets of Rage..

PUBLIC ENEMY live at Brixton Academy, London UK  23.03.90
