Bob Marley Live Forever - The Last Recorded Performance

Biography

Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love -- inspired by his belief in Rastafari -- was beginning to be heard and felt. The last Bob Marley and the Wailers tour in 1980 attracted the largest audiences at that time for any musical act in Europe.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best 'reggae' album I've heard, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Birth of a Legend (Audio CD)
though it is actully more of a soul and ska record these songs embody as much soul as motown. Some of the songs, like "I'm Still Waiting" might even make Otis weep. This cd is a good insight into the roots and influence of Bob Marley before he developed reggae. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars important, September 22, 2000

This review is from: Birth of a Legend (Audio CD)
This cd is a treasure trove of very very early Wailers material, back when they were doing ska, as well as r&b based tracks.

Even in these early tracks, there are glimpses of the greatness to come for both Marley, who is mostly featured, and Peter Tosh.

Great vocals, wonderful music, and a very important piece to the overall puzzle that was the Wailers' music in the bginning. Indispensible listening.
