With its first U.S. tour in 18 years winding down, Public Image Ltd. stopped by “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” tonight for an on-air performance — left-field pick “Bags,” off Album (see below) — and, posted above, this web-only run-through of the more well-known “Public Image” (leave it to John Lydon to do things backward). Also this week, PiL announced a six-date tour of Germany in August, following a few European festival appearances.
