I have had this albumn since 1976 when it came out. This is the same year I saw Jimmy Cliff perform these songs in the summer Schaefer Music Festival at Wollman Rink in Central Park. It was great. Still love this music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A No-Risk-Disc, March 30, 2001

I was privliged to have seen three of the true superstars of reggae during their peak years. In 1979 I was blessed to have seen Bab Marley at the Beacon Theatre in NYC. Words do little to describe that experience. I also saw the great Toots and The Maytals at a small club called My Father's Place on Long Island in 1976. And in 1975 I caught Jimmy Cliff at Carnagie Hall.

This recording is almost a carbon copy of that wonderful show I saw. Jimmy Cliff is perhaps the greatest reggae vocalist ever, at least that's my humble opinion. His voice is as pure and soulful as the waters of Dunns River Falls. Here he takes you on a trip through his gretest hits, You Can Get It If You Really Want, Many Rivers To Cross, Sitting Here In Limbo and The Harder They Come. Cliff is a born showman. He works the audience with confidence and delivers an inspired performance. This is positively a "no-risk-disc".

I typically hate live CDs, but this one was my introduction to Jimmy Cliff, and I've loved it ever since I first heard it. The band sound great - kind of rough of times, but it just gives the music more character. It's also great hearing the audience singing along to Jimmy's classics. The liner notes don't give any info about when or where the songs were recorded, and it kind of sounds like it's not all from one concert, but perhaps the best recordings from a variety of concerts. Some of these songs really seem like they were made to be sung live, especially "You Can Get It If You Really Want It," which has such a catchy chorus you may find yourself singing along with it. If you're a reggae fan and want to hear something aside from the ubiquitous Bob Marley music, or just a fan of great music, you'll probably love this CD. Enjoy!
