Bob Marley & The Wailers - Roots, Rock, Reggae (1976) • TopPop

Опубликовано 12 октября 2015, 9:36

Bob Marley and the Wailers were in the Netherlands during his "Rastaman Vibrations" tour for his first Dutch concert in the Jaap Edenhal in Amsterdam on June 13, 1976, the first of the five concerts Marley ever gave in the Netherlands. During this concert 'Roots, Rock, Reggae' was the last song on the set and 'Positive Vibration' was the first encore. The concert ended with 'Get Up Stand Up / War / No More Trouble'.
Fortunately, the Toppop recordings have been preserved. They have been used by director Kevin Macdonald for his famous and acclaimed documentary about Bob Marley, entitled 'Marley' from 2012.
This exclusive Toppop video was recorded in a studio in Nederhorst den Berg near Hilversum in June 1976.
The recording is, as most Toppop videos, a lip-synch recording.
Bunny Wailer is not in this video as he left the Wailers two years earlier.

Thanks to our viewer Javier Ochoa, this is the line-up:

Bob Marley, vocal, rhythm guitar
Carlton Barrett, drums
Aston Barrett, bass
Earl "Chinna" Smith, lead guitar
