One of my better days was to see him with the I Three at MSG, right after watching Ron Guidry strike out 18 in his best game of one of the best ever pitcher's seasons, across the street in one of those Classic NYC "Irish" pubs.
Never forget some shitty yuppie behind me telling me to sit down. WTF?
Unusual for the time, there's a ton of great RMN video. Here's one. They make mistakes in it but hey they're stoned.

From his last concert, his body already wracked by melanoma.

The lyrics lead this. Then the rest. But so good.

Luv me sum Bob.
I do believe that Bob Marley was kind of the Jesus of our times.
I mean seriously.
And the music!

Them Belly Full is one of my favs.

Cheers to Bob, eternal ambassador
I knew there was a reason I was up doing dabs first thing this morning.
I was at the MSG concert also.Quote:

...just add that the Barrett brothers were a fucking incredible rhythm section.
Good article from The Guardian by a woman who knew him. A couple claims may be a little hyperbolic (Bob handing out money to thousands on the Kingston streets is not something I've heard of before for example) but overall good stuff: http://www.theguardian.com/music/201...ey-70-birthday
I have great memories as a kid in the 70s upstairs reading or whatever while my mom blasted Marley or Lou Reed etc while she was doing stuff around the house in the afternoon. Bob had a singular talent.
Re: veneration-- Happened to see this article recently by Robert Christgau.

It's weird how people either get bob or they don't. I mean there are people who like the classics like 3 little birds, jammin, etc. Cheesy as it sounds I get goosebumps when I listen to some songs, never had a musician do that to me.
The heathen
Ambush in the night
Revolution
Timeless lyrics.
He was a womanizer for sure and mostly a normal guy with just incredible talent and voice.
I can't get into his kids, they are nothing. They got no soul, little similarity in voice and lyrics suck.

Okay this is good: Santa Barbara 1979, remastered and corrected in Japan for your viewing and listening pleasure.

Are you picking up now?
edit: even better version of that concert than I first posted
Nice links. I listen a lot these days to the Reggae Regulars station on Pandora...plays all kinds of cool stuff in addition to Bob Marley. Playing right now: The Garden, by Tribal Seeds. Never heard of 'em but it's cool music. Okay, it just switched to Trench Town Rock by Marley. This sounds like an oldie.

I would gladly tear it all down if I didn't think that the bad guys would still win somehow.
I'll bet there are a thousand very talented raggae artists through the years from the island that just either sigh or grit their teeth when white people from America and Europe say "Marley! Ya. Let's smoke a bowl and listen to Exodus" when the genre is mentioned.
Well that's a very Eeyore post.Quote:
