Lineage: Reel > C > DAT > CD > Plex 48A > EAC > CDWav > FFE > FLAC Length: 33:36 min 1) Bend Down Low [3:54] 2) Lively Up Yourself [3:54] 3) Slave Driver [4:45] 4) Stop That Train [3:52] 5) Stir It Up [5:08] 6) Kinky Reggae [3:47] 7) Get Up, Stand Up [4:27] 8) E: Rude Boy [4:25] Notes: The Wailers began the Catch A Fire North American Tour with a trip to Ontario, then a fourteen show run at Paul's Mall in Boston from July 9th - 15th. They then hit the Big Apple for a fourteen show run opening up for Bruce Springsteen at Max's Kansas City, Upstairs. There were two shows per night and three shows on the weekend. It is highly unlikely that these were the first US appearances by the Wailers, as they apparently did a mini-tour of New York and the Northeast the previous December around New Years. All three recordings we have from this run are most likely mastered by the same recordist. Definitely two of the three sets appear to be either the same night or two consecutive nights. My guess is that these recordings were made at the soundboard, if not through it, either by the engineer or someone associated with the venue. This lends high hopes to the existence and survival of the remaining 11 sets. This show has a great Stir It Up that begins with a terrific keyboard rhythm. The Kinky Reggae that follows picks up on the same energy, as you get to hear Peter Tosh and Joe Higgs on backing vocals. Joining in the energy, Aston Barrett delivers a blazing bass line during Get Up Stand Up. Flaws: There is slight overmodulation and hiss throughout the recording. t5 - 1:33 - Subsecond drop out t8 - 0:47 - Subsecond static pop Credits: To Joey Newlander, aka cosmofone, for providing the compilation to be seeded to Easytree for the Wailers fans out there.

This show contains a very rare live version of Don't Rock My Boat, originally recorded in 1971 by The Wailers and Lee Perry, then later under the title Satisfy My Soul on the Kaya album.

The Wailers began the Catch A Fire North American Tour with a trip to Ontario, then a fourteen show run at Paul's Mall in Boston from July 9th - 15th. They then hit the Big Apple for a fourteen show run opening up for Bruce Springsteen at Max's Kansas City, Upstairs. There were two shows per night and three shows on the weekend.

My guess is that these recordings were made at the soundboard, if not through it, either by the engineer or someone associated with the venue. This lends high hopes to the existence and survival of the remaining 11 sets. Flaws: Decent sound, starts with a bit of warble, evens out after a few seconds. There's a moderate amount of noise, but the signal is strong enough. Sometimes the MAC was stopped between songs. At this point, it's not clear why there are two Kinky Reggaes and which shows they came from. t1 - 0:00 - warble for about 10 sec. t1 - 1:36 - slight hiccup. t1 - 4:02 - (L) channel drop out for 2 sec. t5 - 0:00 - beginning is cut. So is the end. t6 - 0:20 - 13 sec. of strange low freq. rumble. Credits: To the people.

Notes: Several years ago, JEMS acquired three reel-to-reel master tapes from the private collection of a recording engineer. All were 1/2-track, 15 IPS reels (this and one other 10", the third 7") which helped add to their credibility (most fans and collectors in the '70s were not working with tapes in those professional standards), as did some of the other tapes we didn't get which were clearly from studio sessions. This famous recording of Bob Marley and the Wailers at Max's Kansas City was one of the three. The entire contents of the reel are what has been classified for years by Marley collectors as "Set Three" or "Segment Three" of the trio of known recordings from the July '73 run at Max's. The exact recording dates of the three sets are unverified, but they are all drawn from the six night run in July. Previous torrents of this material suggest "there were two shows per night and three shows on the weekend," all opening for, amazingly, Bruce Springsteen. The track list of our copy varies slightly from the widely available version(s) of Set Three in that it is longer and includes "Stir It Up," where most copies stop at "Kinky Reggae." The version of "Stir It Up" is different from that of Set One or Set Two. It is an audience, not soundboard recording, but may well be an "open mic" recording, perhaps from mics mounted at the mixing desk and recorded with permission to document the performance. Sonically, our transfer of this reel source is a material upgrade to the circulating copy of the set, clearly two or more generations closer to the master, though with only 28 minutes of material on the tape, our guess is this reel was copied from the master back in the day. Where the circulating copies are murky, muddy, hissy and very narrow stereo, this upgrade is much sharper, clearer, better defined, with a much wider stereo image and less hiss. It is also speed corrected to what we now feel is the accurate pitch. The recording engineer switched the recorder off either on the master or the copy between songs, but what is there is complete. It is also better sounding than Sets One and Two and represents one of the earliest quality recordings of The Wailers in the US, along with the outstanding Paul's Mall, Boston set from the week prior. We would love to hear from the Marley experts and enthusiasts out there about this upgrade. Thanks to Dubwise1 for his help in comparing this to the previously circulated sources.
