Bob Marley & The Wailers   10/31/1973

The Record Plant, Sausalito, CA

Media CDR   1 disc
Notes Recorded for broadcast on KSAN on 12/02/73. This show circulates as 1973-12-02, but it's really 1973-10-31. Marley was opening for Sly and the Family Stone and was dropped off the tour because he was getting more interest than Sly. KSAN asked Marley to come to San Francisco and do some shows at a club in San Francisco. This show was also the first time a bunch of Marleys songs had been played and would come out on a record a few months later.

I changed the date from 12-02 to 10-31 based on the below info:

>The person who sent said: this "sounded just like the "Talkin'
>Blues" cd, so I went to my cd collection, pulled the disc and
>sure enough, this is the same recording that was released. Only
>thing is that this is straight through, not reshuffled and that
>1975(?) interview is obviously not on the disc."

this one is less clear than the other full concerts on whether it should be
offered, since it does not completely duplicate an official release but just
overlaps

for the Talkin Blues cd, the record company took some songs from the above
radio show (really 10/31/73) but not all of them, added some other studio
outtakes and other live material and then took an interview and went every
other track with music and then interview; this mixture of interview with
music out of order and from various sources is hard to listen to for the
music and is disappointing, while the above shn source is so much better to
listen to and a much better tribute to Marley's legacy

to me, it is a little similar to a band releasing a live album from the
various nights of a tour, which does not necessarily mean one does not trade
or host a show of a concert just because a few of that nights songs are on
the official released album

This was a KSAN radio station rebroadcast of a live show broadcast
in October of the same year.....Marley was opening for Sly and the
Family Stone and was dropped off the tour because he was getting
more interest than Sly :-)

KSAN asked Marley to come to San Francisco and do some shows at a
club in San Francisco....cant remember the name off the top of my
head...anyway they broadcast the show over KSAN live....this show
was also the first time a bunch of Marleys songs had been played
and would come out on a record a few months later.

The reason I can give you this info, is because I couldn't figure
out why there were 2 shows with exactly the same setlist and the
songs sounded the same. I talked to the guy who is the archivist
for KSAN...he is responsible for all the old shows on tape....much
like Dick did for the Dead. Anyway that is the histor...don't know
if it was made as a bootleg. - barb
