5.0 out of 5 stars This video is a combination of music video/horror/drama, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Stepping Razor Red X:Peter Tosh Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was lucky to see this documentary at a theater in 1993. I was even luckier to buy the film later that year.

Anyone interested in the most powerful musician (lyrically, consciously, philosophically, musically) MUST see this film, which was predicated on autobiographical audio tapes created by Peter Tosh just prior to his vicious murder in Jamaica.

If you ever need to be rejuvenated as to your purpose in life, watch this documentary. You will be inspired by a man who took it upon himself to improve the lives of poor people all over the world.

His unhypocritical allegiance to the creator was refreshing. His intensity was amazing. His courage was absolutely stunning. His arrogance added to his mystique. His playfulness added to his complexity.

This film contains concert scenes, recreations of his life, interviews with important figures in the Jamaican music industry, footage of Jamaican life, and more.

Peter Tosh is a spiritual leader, gifted musical visionary, and an unapologetic revolutionary, who along with Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer created and popularized ROOTS Reggae music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A visionary, March 8, 2000

This review is from: Stepping Razor Red X:Peter Tosh Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've watched this documentary dozens of times and continue to be blown away by this enigmatic, powerful man. The beautiful cinematography and seamless incorporation of Peter's recordings add to the message of equality and justice for which Tosh lived and died. The film is definitely sympathetic to Tosh, yet reveals his complexity and shortcomings that ultimately lead to his downfall. This is a tape I've shown to all my friends and family, and will definitely keep to show to my kids. Keep on fighting Peter!
