When Brown complained about the security to the management of The Rainbow, he was given the job of caretaker of the building, which required him to live in a flat at the top of the theatre.
After the Sex Pistols broke up, Lydon formed Public Image Ltd ( PIL) and wanted his first UK shows with the new band to be at the Rainbow.
Brown helped him organize to have the seats removed from the downstairs area of the Theatre for PIL's first London performances in December 1978.
He began making outfits for musicians including Australians Bon Scott and the Little River Band, as well as Adam Ant and the British rock group Charlie.
When the Rainbow's lease was coming to an end, the extensive renovations the building needed were precluded by a preservation order, and Brown left.
When Brown delivered the jeans to the studio where Kramer was editing a Styx video he met the band's guitarist Tommy Shaw.
