Reggae Video and Music from Jamaica

If you love Bob and reggae and Jamaica, check out the nonprofit documentary "Life and Debt" DVD (see my review) to learn how US-dominated economics has destroyed the JA agriculture industry and subjected hard-working Jamaicans to free-trade-zone slave-labor conditions. It's a truly horrendous situation that will continue until we Americans GET UP STAND UP and pressure our leaders to stop the economic enslavement of Third World nations.

I've finally found the Marley show I was looking for!   December 16, 2003

First, let me say that I'm an avid Bob Marley fan. I own every Island release and some other bootleg releases. I have both the Live! VHS and the Heartland Reggae DVD and neither does justice to Marley's career then this DVD. Sure, the picture quality may not be that sharp at time, and Bob's energy seems to be waning(this was a year before he passed away), the show and the vibe felt from the Wailers and the crowd is explosive. I have been looking for this DVD since I saw the Laser Disc version of this concert. People, if there is any Marley to get on DVD, along with the newly released "Legend", this is the one to get.


Live Marley......are you kidding me   December 3, 2003

Look I don't do reviews, but this DVD is amazing. There are so few opportunites to get high quality live Marley, and this is one of them. (also check out the new Live at the Roxy-CD, excellent also, same Roxy concert is on the new remastered Rastaman Vibration album) This is not only a must for Marley fans but a must for anyone that appreciates great music. I'm not going to sit here and rip it for it's surround sound, those that want to are movie watchers that don't get the fact that live music wasn't intended for such, play it through two channel stereo and crank it. If any of you have dreamed what it was like to be at a Bob show but were too young, or just didn't get a chance, well this is it. Set list is great, audio is excellent and the video quality is quite remarkable since it was a live show filmed in 79. One will not be dissapointed with this DVD, worth every penny......people this is Bob Marley live! And to hear Bob like this is an out of this world experience. I have many audio cd's and music dvd's and this dvd has to be my favorite piece of live audio, ok maybe Talkin Heads stop making sense (DVD) is up there. Bob, while i was to young to see you, thanks for reaching me anyway.

This music will last the generations. This DVD will hopefully open more people's ears to how great Bob Marley and his music really was. There are some extras, I haven't got to them, they sound like the may be worthwhile, but the concert itself is all I need.

This is a great live performance that was well filmed and remastered. I highly recommend it for any Bob Marley fan. If you have never heard or seen a Bob Marley concert, you are missing out and this would be an excellent place to start. Bob Marley is one of the greatest musicians ever and one of the best live performers ever (in my opinion) and this concert is proof of that. Bob lives on in "The Legend Live". Additionally, it not only includes the 20 tracks that another reviewer wrote about but it also includes a 21st track "War/No More Trouble". Also, it includes a 51-minute documentary on Bob (primarily an interview with Bob) and another extra with great fan commentary about Bob and his message and music.
