I remember the first time I heard Reggae music. I liked the bass right away from the start but the rhythm I didn’t understand at first. I knew I’d exotic and different but had no idea how versatile that rhythm could get. Faster it was Ska music and related to Ska a lot easier because it was faster than Reggae’s slower grooves. But I eventually got it and realized this was exciting new music of a kind I never heard before. Now I love both Reggae and Ska equally! Bob Marley is the King of Reggae. But Jimmy Cliff came out first in the early Seventies and was the first Reggae star I remember seeing! RIP Bob Marley and Peter Tosh 💐
Bob Harris tells the story about this day. They had a major problem as they smoked so much weed all day that when they came to film this the cameramen had red streaming eyes and could barely see what they were filming :)
Lets not forget the great work from the studio engineer .....whomever they were .... if he hadn't got the reverb "spot on" its a totally different vibe .... Thanks for the posting & info Ronald. This be my highest rated LIVE VIDEO Marley clip. !
Effortless Groove today's musicians put so much energy trying into looking like there groovin with the facials and body movements but back n the day real players made It look easy,like these dudes who are absolutely nailing it
Marley and Wailers at their best, in my opinion--early '70s, Rasta Revolution. Musicianship simple, Bob sounds great (tho he always did), Bunny and Peter vocals gorgeous ("Concrete" brings shivers--"never know what sweet caress is."), and his best songs (tho more great ones would follow, of course). Odd that there are so many "Bob Marley fans" but so few visits to this clip. I guess many really love the Ganga more or the spiffier sound.
Peter Tosh perfectly nailed the Stir It Up guitar solo. It sounds exactly like the studio version except for slight improvisation at the end. It's funny to hear some people call this lip-synced -- maybe they should go ask Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift if it's lip-synced. Chris Blackwell aka Whiteworst deserves a (what's left of his) lifetime of criticism for not keeping the Wailers united. He seemed to have no problem keeping the rest of the band, Downie, Lindo, Seeco, and the Barretts, etc. I kinda feel that if Seeco stayed on board (and/or joined soon after Tosh, Bunny left) then Whiteworst could've done what was needed to keep everybody around. Whiteworst immediately went about finding new guitar players for the Wailers. The Wailers already had a maestro named Peter Tosh, Whiteworst's discoveries didn't measure up to Tosh, and he ended up needing 2 replacements to equal one Tosh. Blackwell a real caper imo. It's priceless to watch him spend decades in interviews attempting to justify why he broke apart the greatest band that was ever formed in the history of human music.
@@rootsriders Every story has 3 sides: yours, mine, and the truth. Let's portray a side that isn't in almost every Marley or Wailers documentary where Whiteworst justifies his banality.
@tenaciousRas The solo is not a guitar. It's a Hohner Clavinet D6 keyboard, and it's not "exactly like" the studio version, it IS the studio version. The band is miming to a remixed edit of the album cut. The vocals are the only thing that's live. I've finally got around to creating a direct comparison, here: ua-cam.com/video/iH9_MGJZEeY/v-deo.html
Bob Marley was the first to openly stand up for weed among famous people. After that, came Cheech And Chong who made movies about weed, NWA and Tupac Shakur who smoke weed on interviews, Cypress Hills who made rap songs mostly about weed, Snoopp Dogg, Dave Chappelle who made a movie about weed called Half Baked, Mike Tyson who has a weed farm in California and now Joe Rogan who smokes weed on his podcast.
You obviously never heard of the force of nature which was Peter Tosh whose first international hit single was LEGALIZE IT. He was the one who was reguarly brutally beaten by the Jamaican police, sometimes almost to the point of death for smoking and publicizing the benefits of weed, or Herb as he often referred to it. He was the one who took out a full page advertisement in one of Jamaica's most prostegious daily newspapers to publicize the lyrics of legalize it, after the Jamaican radio stations banned this song. There are so many other examples that I could provide, but it would take up a lot of space.
@@jeanclarke9106 Of course I have heard of Peter Tosh !!! Peter was a band member of Bob Marley's group The Wailers. Bob was the one that encouraged Peter and everyone around him to push to legalize weed. The reason Marley is the king of pushing for it is because instead of promoting crime and anti establishment (which weed smokers were known for), Marley pushed for morality in his songs and unity. That is what got people to think differently about weed smokers. Yes, there were others around pushing for weed use. However, Marley was performing his weed and Rasta style since the early 60s. That led to even white Americans starting to take it in the 60s psychedelic movement and the "be free" hippy movement. Even the Beatles started using weed because of Marley and Paul McCartney of the Beatles even got arrested in Japan for being caught with weed. Nobody had the international platform that Marley achieved and still is standing on decades after his death when it came to openly weed smokers. So, now that you know the truth Jean, you may want to look further into saying I was wrong. Your welcome.
This performance is live vocals over an instrumental playback. The band is miming. I've created a straight-up comparison with the "Catch a Fire" album. "Stir It Up" is definitely the album version, remixed, as I demonstrate here: ua-cam.com/video/iH9_MGJZEeY/v-deo.html
Some more details: 1. The synth at the beginning of "Stir it Up" is an ARP Odyssey, not a Minimoog. That particular sound cannot be produced by the synth shown. 2. The synth sound has this "woaaaah" swell at the beginning of each note played. The first few notes, he's shown twisting the filter knob for that effect. The next few notes, same effect, no knob-twisting. 3. At 1:05-1:09 the instruments briefly drift out of time with each other, exactly like on the studio recording. 4. At around 1:12, the hand in the background plays the downbeat on the clavinet, while the actual clavinet track heard does not (it is the exact phrasing on the record, in fact). 5. The solo from 2:40 onwards is a Hohner Clavinet keyboard (the keyboard facing right with the wooden top). The solo is EXACTLY the phrasing (down to the exact wah-wah movement) of the album version. Peter Tosh is faking it on the guitar (either that, or we're simply not hearing anywhere what he's actually playing - unlikely, given how small the room is and how his amp sound must bleed all over the vocal and drum mics), and the keyboard player is sitting at the Fender Rhodes piano - a different instrument, facing front. 6. At 3:36, he's back at the Clavinet, but what he's miming does not at all match up with the solo heard. In fact, he's caught by surprise by one part. 7. "Concrete Jungle" has the exact same set-up, the exact same microphones, but somehow, a completely different bass sound. 8. 6:50 We're looking at a Clavinet solo. As you can clearly see at 5:35 (it's the black keyboard behind Bob in the shot), it IS NOT PLUGGED IN AT ALL (the silver socket is the audio output). We're also hearing the bubbly off-beat Hammond organ on the recording - which he somehow isn't playing (It's below the Clavinet). 9. 7:05 The Clavinet that we're hearing play the solo ISN'T ACTUALLY PLUGGED IN (the silver socket is the audio output).
Two facts. The OGWT was always a live show - this was not mimed. Second am I alone in thinking that it was a great shame that the Wailers split just as they were breaking through.
This is Whistle Test, a whole different animal to TOTPs. It was screened late for grown ups and featured great artists and superb production techniques. I loved watching it, but hated the over commercialised TOTPs. Just listen on headphones if you don't believe me.

I mean no disrespect to anyone here.... Bob Marley and the Wailers music gives eternal life and joy - but I am glad someone else has said its not a 'live performance' - and I agree it isn't - the reverb for a start is clearly from a studio not live... and the lead guitar parts on concrete jungle, if I remember where played in the studio by some American session musician - cant remember his name - and you can hear those parts in this performance - not really a reggae style, and the solo and Moog parts in Stir it up aren't possible live.... like I say - I mean no disrespect - I LOVE the wailers and they were peerless musicians and live performances - this simply isn't it though

Exactly.
As I'm listening to this, I'm thinking, this is the music that came from a little rock! Incredible.
