Live at the Roxy: The Complete Concert – Bob MarleyView More By Bob Marley Our ReviewThe uninitiated often think of Reggae as the sort of lazy and amiable music that leaves the listener ambling about with a glint in their reddened eyes and a song of love in their heart. Anyone laboring under these delusions should immediately acquire this painstakingly assembled two-disc set which finds Bob Marley preaching fire and righteousness to an audience of uncomprehending Los Angelinos. By 1976 Marley had long ago abandoned the pacifist sentiments of early recordings like “Simmer Down”, adopting instead the indignant stance of the long-suffering revolutionary.

Bob fulfilled every mission a thousand men could not. Buy this album. Live At The Roxy Review (5 stars) Listen, I've heard virtually every live Wailers recording, and I've gotta say, there's something about this one that really stands out. It really sounds like a band really at the top of their game. More than that, tough. It sounds like a buncha gunslingers onstage blowing away everyone in sight!!! The first set is a seemless performance of every song that got them to this point. By the time they get to that second set, it's as if they BiographyBorn: February 06, 1945 in St. Ann, JamaicaGenre: Reggae Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution...
