Notes One Love Peace Concert. Bob unites fueding Jamaican heads of government Edward Seaga and Michael Manley during the song "Jammin'" Bob, however, seemed in a state of transcendental bliss. Instead of attacking the prime minister and the leader of the opposition, he attempted to bring them together. During 'Jamming' his dancing delivery and skat extemporising on the lyrics showed someone taken over by the spirit: 'To make everything come true, we've got to be together, yeah, yeah. And to the spirit of the most high, His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I, run lightning, leading the people of the slaves to shake hands. . . To show the people that you love them right, to show the people that you gonna unite, show the people that you're over bright, show the people that everything is all right. Watch, watch, watch, what you're doing, because . . . I'm not so good at talking but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say, could we have, could we have, up here onstage here the presence of Mr. Michael Manley and Mr. Edward Seaga. I just want to shake hands and show the people that we're gonna unite . . . we're gonna unite . . . we've got to unite . . . The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead. The moon is high over my head, and I give my love instead.' This is another "must Have" for true Marley fans. This was one of the most important and famous concerts of his career.
