A pretty rough-sounding, truncated, out-of-order, stereo soundboard of this show has circulated for about 20 years. It turned into one (or perhaps several) of the infamous Japanese bootlegs. A certain prominent reggae collector surmised that this was show from Libreville, Gabon on January 5, 1980 because of Junior's exhortation "Come On, Africa!" at the beginning "Africa Unite." Thus it circulated for a time with the wrong date and location (a situation that frustrates Marley collectors with respect to this show and many others). This complete show recording is sourced from a black and white archival pro video shot by Bill Graham Presents. Unfortunately, the video becomes seriously distorted toward the end of the show, but audio track hangs in there. This is a monaural soundboard. It doesn't have the transparent imagery of the stereo soundboard, but it also has none of the unevenness and dropouts of the stereo version. The sound for the first couple of tracks is a bit inconsistent. By the time "Concrete Jungle" comes around, the mix starts to improve dramatically. There is a cut in "Ambush in the Night," and there is a little bit missing from the beginning of "Lively Up Yourself," which starts abruptly. There are some sonic limitations and the odd blemish to be sure, but I personally find it a far more satisfying listening experience than the commonly circulating, incomplete bootleg. This performance can only be described as utterly psychedelic. There are heavy dub effects on the vocals throughout, (e.g. "I Shot the Sheriff . . . riff . . . riff . . . riff . . ."), which are more apparent on this recording than on the stereo version. Al Anderson's lays down trippy, burning solos on "Concrete Jungle" and "Dem Belly Full." He is one of the great unsung guitarists in any genre. Junior's solos on "Wake Up and Live" and "Heathen" are superb. Fams' bass is killer, as always. And Carly . . . was a better drummer ever born? And Bob, the consummate reggae rhythm guitarist, a role that is overshadowed by all his other greatness. And as a special, if somewhat strange bonus, the encore features a guest appearance by Ron Wood. So, to sum up, this is intense, meditative reggae of the highest order. Enjoy! Hail Rasta! |
