Bob Marley - The Legend Live DVD
Santa Barbara County Bowl - November 25th, 1979
Taken from the Trojan Video archive, this Bob Marley & The Wailers concert is
presented here for the first time on DVD and is the final
recorder performance before his death in May 1981.
The concert took place at The Santa Barbara County Bowl on the 25th of November, 1979
and the resulting film is an incredible record of Bob Marley's performance; one that is
arguably an equal of-the-better-known "Live at the Rainbow" show filmed on the Exodus tour in 1977.
Every song is received rapturously, but the show takes
a quantum leap as night falls and Bob and the Wailers burst
into "Exodus," a work of epic poetry. By the time the show is concluding
with the militant "Get Up Stand Up" the entire auditorium is swaying
along and mouthing the repeated lines of 'Cos I never give up the fight,' a defiant statement
of intent that brings thsi inspirational concert to a close.
With remastered picture and audio, the original 70-minute version has been
exteneded here for DVD by Don Letts to include an additional 7 songs from the set not featured in the original
VHS release.
Also included as a DVD extra is another gem from the Trojan vaults an archive documentary entitled "Prophecies & Messages." Running at approximately
51 minutes; this includes 30 minutes of previously unseen interview footage with Marley and the Wailers keyboard player Tyrone Downie discussing Rastafarianism.
