Bob Marley/London,UK 1973

This is a recording of a precious early live performance at the Paris Theatre in London on May 24th, from the first UK tour in 1973, recorded in master quality and with soundboard by BBC on air. Moreover, the sound source is made using a new master that has been aired in recent years, so the sound quality is excellent, and the set list is full of early masterpieces. The show starts with “Rasta Man Chant,” which was later covered by Derek Trucks, followed by a parade of pure Rasta numbers such as “No More Trouble,” “Concrete Jungle,” and “Get Up, Stand Up.” Since original members Peter Tosh and Bernie Wailer were about to leave the band and the major debut album “Catch a Fire” was released just after its release, the set included songs from that album and songs from “Burnin’,” which was released in October of the same year, and the performance by this lineup was truly impressive. As the rock color gradually became stronger after this, the essence of the Wailers was here. 01. Rasta Man Chant / 02. Slave Driver / 03. Stop That Train / 04. No More Trouble / 05. 400 Years / 06.
