hey mister… i appreciate your presence here in the ether. wanted to recommend my second favorite roots reggae band and encourage you to explore, especially if you don’t know their work. i’m late to this one but i hope you enjoyed the boat… be easy brother. ua-cam.com/video/5mYD2Eeuh3I/v-deo.html
One Month Block??? What the hell do you have to do to get blocked on a channel like this?!?! ^_^ Love this one, brother.. so happy you did it.. thanks a million... these recordings of Bob and the band are priceless, and your breaking it down is golden... One Love !!!
Great that you're doing a Bob Marley song Michael, especially considering the situation in the world right now. I have been a huge fan since I was a child. For me, Bob is one of the greatest of all time.
Just love your interpretation of the Marley classic - The Heathen. Don't forget this was a powerful protest song, a call for action to fight again against the oppressor - The Heathen. Still relevant today. Marley was miles ahead of this time.
Al Anderson is one of my favorite players of all time, but I must say when it comes to Heathen, Junior Marvin always shined so bright. He really had some magic about him. The best shows are often with the 2 of them. Enjoy Steamboat and time with the fam. Truly awesome.
Doesn't matter where they both originates from so far as they are BLACK they got it in their DNA already to roll together nicely. That being said, they can be WHITE too like my man here who is obsessed with the reggae that his brain waves have captured the riddim into his soul so he can rock with the Wailers too.
I read an article years back about some of Bob’s production crew discussing Bob’s Gibson guitar, they wanted a little more “umph” out of his guitar, so they found some techs who used to work with Jimi Hendrix, and they worked on his pickups to give him that unbelievable clean sound, it really stands out. My favorite Bob song, powerful in all aspects, everyone pitches in…even the crowd. You just don’t hear that anymore!
Many years of listening to Bob Marley have led me to take these precious moments for granted. Your reactions remind me why I love Bob Marley's music so much.
Love your passionate take on ”Heathen”. I’m totally with you, Carlton Barret..! There is no one in this world handling the hi-hat like Carlton, magician!👌🏽🙌🏼🌟🙏🏼
Bob Marley and The Wailers AND The I Threes were the perfect blend of reggae musicians. He was a true leader and they followed him well. What a legend. He lives on through his music. Nice reaction.
This concert was one of the best live shows in music history……my cousin was lucky enough to this show I wish I could have been there, I was just a bit too young 15 at the time.
You're correct in counting that strong 3rd beat. 'One Drop' refers to the one kick drum hit on the 3rd. It's easier to count that way. As a reggae dj it's way easier to beat-mix using the 3rd. the 'One' (1st) is quite often so quiet...
No joke, I randomly met Devon Evans in person a couple days ago. I wanna protect his privacy, so I won’t go into great detail, but it was a moment I will never forget. The passion in his eyes as he spoke truths about the world were inspiring and humbling. I only knew Bob Marley’s music/life at a high-level before that day. Now I’m on a deep-dive of what their movement was all about. Thank you for posting this!!!
Reggae Concerts are a special experience. I've seen a few. But i missed the legend Bob Marley. In the early 90s I was able to see Ziggy Marley with the Wailers. Great! Irie!
The "One Drop" is on the 3rd beat/half time as oppose to the "Steppers" beat which is 4 to the floor. "Jammin" is an good example. You can really hear how Reggae music is broken down via Dub albums. Nice reaction.
There is a misconception about the 4 on the floor riddim. It really is not 4 on the floor, the second kick is actually the third beat . It goes 1(kick), 2(silent), 3(kick+snare),4(silent).
I don't know Michael, When I'm laying on a beach in Jamaica, with a Margarita in hand, with White Sandy beaches, beautiful warm blue water, Listening to some Bob Marley, I'm not sure Snow, is the 1st thing that comes to mind, Lol,, "Love ya mike".
"RISE UP fallen fighter! Rise and take your stance again." I love the format, enjoy the jam session, keep up the good vibrations! It doesn't get much better than this! ❤️
I miss college. Smfh childhood when this came out. My parents use to send us up stairs to bed while they lit up and listened to these songs... Thanks for the memories. 😎
I appreciate, and sometimes overlooked, the trance aspect of reggae. Much like the sounds from Appalachia. It takes you to a reflective space in your mind.
I’m like you bro,I could listen to reggae all day and you have excellent knowledge on reggae in respect to how each instrument should be played one drop drumming,the cymbals(hi hat)the muted bass lines,bubble on the keyboards,sweet and sour harmonies and the crashing cymbals also the stuck lines(guitar mute and play along with the bass) jah bless
I was waiting for Michael to talk about the “A-ness” of the music 😂 I love the ghost notes in the middle of the song! It almost sounds like reverb to me!
I have so many great reggae tunes I'd love to see you react to and break down! Of course Bob is the greatest of all time though ✊🇯🇲 Have a great trip brother!
Yes, slices reveal the simplicity of the work of genius ... when you think these guys learned with the feel ... raw talent is defined Thanks for picking this song Michael
Powerful song, lyrics everything bout his performance and his band.....Jah know.....this song is really relevant to today's society.....alot of heathens about trying to corrupt God's nature for us a His creations....."Put the heathen back dem pon di wall". Beyonce this song is for u.
What a wonderful thing to wake up to both today and in life to realise why I am beholden to this song from the original (studio/album) version to any live version to this particular version. Bless up. Wish had my guitar close up, so I could try a slowed-up version just to get in the groove, and move those feet,,,,
One Drop refers to: 1) Dropping (omitting) the kick and/or snare on one. 2) Dropping (hitting) the snare cross and kick on three (cut time) or two & four (1/2 time). Great reaction videos!👍
I started watching reactions a couple of years ago, Have been requesting some Bob the whole time...Thanks. The main reason I am commenting is you need to listen to "Going down" by Jeff Beck while skiing!
Michael, each vid like this you make is taking me on a little journey though the particular song and helps me discover all the small nuances and things which I haven't discovered before. I like how you break things down and the way your enthousiasm shines through in every comment. Thank you and keep doing you, brother!

The world needs some Bob Marley right now
Amen!
God damn right.
So true
You’re absolutely right,, there is a boy called Mo. Ali I can see him walking in Bob Marley’s shoes.
Yeh
My name is Tyrone Marley. I am 11 years old and I was named after Bob Marley, I love his music .
Thank you mum for named me after this great man.
One of the best live bands ever
Midnite: Vaughn Benjamin... #RestInPower
Amen. Dying with cancer. Bob is with me, you feel ✌ He brings peace. Take care
Your love and respect for Bob's music touches my soul. Bob's music shall NEVER die. One love.
Bob marley and the wailers
One heart
the drum kit is recorded perfectly
Great that you're doing a Bob Marley song Michael, especially considering the situation in the world right now. I have been a huge fan since I was a child. For me, Bob is one of the greatest of all time.
Couldn’t agree more!
Bob always sounds so fcking good and so authentic!
I also love, love, LOVE the Jamaican accent. It sounds so cool and very distinct.
Because he sings from the heart
From the very first time I heard him I was in love with Reggae. The offbeat. The bass and drums. I feel it in my backbone.
Just love your interpretation of the Marley classic - The Heathen. Don't forget this was a powerful protest song, a call for action to fight again against the oppressor
- The Heathen. Still relevant today. Marley was miles ahead of this time.
Al Anderson is one of my favorite players of all time, but I must say when it comes to Heathen, Junior Marvin always shined so bright. He really had some magic about him. The best shows are often with the 2 of them. Enjoy Steamboat and time with the fam. Truly awesome.

Reggae drummer here. And this bass and drum is one of the the best. Carlton bass drum work and snare out of this world.
And his brother Aston “family man” Barrett… also out of this world
Bob marley and the wailers was only the greatest event that ever feel the world over they were born to be the best of the best 💪💪💪
Shouts to Carlton Barret. Dude was the absolute end all be all when it came to reggae drums.
Mister
And hid brother on BASS!
I love your enthusiasm for reggae. I seems guitar players often overlook it. Great video, thanks.
Haven't skied in at least 25 years but will again in 2 weeks and doin it in Colorado too! Babylon by chairlift.
Bob and his wailers, a live band you will never forget if you could feel and see it. Very impressive!
I don't really care for reggae, but I LOVE Bob Marley & The Wailers.
Check out Midnite /Akae Beka
5:41 the Rastaman has you speaking in your primal language. Lol
I read an article years back about some of Bob’s production crew discussing Bob’s Gibson guitar, they wanted a little more “umph” out of his guitar, so they found some techs who used to work with Jimi Hendrix, and they worked on his pickups to give him that unbelievable clean sound, it really stands out.

You're great soul man ..lov ya
I'm a young Jamaican and you let me appreciate Bob Marley more now than ever. Thank you very much!
Thanks ,you can describe Bob Marley and especially how his rhythm and flow and reggae works ,it’s magic ❤️coolest musician 😎
The amazing solos of Junior Marvin deeply has touched our young hearts , 1980 untill this moment.
One of greatest live songs of Bob, along side:
Exodus, Lively up yourself (Anderson🤩), Get up stand up, No woman no cry,
Punky Reggae Party, Jammin'
ok,the world need a bob marley.but, we need a teacher like you also..thank michael.
Many years of listening to Bob Marley have led me to take these precious moments for granted.
Your reactions remind me why I love Bob Marley's music so much.
Man Uncle Bob all ways gets me in them feels
Love your passionate take on ”Heathen”. I’m totally with you, Carlton Barret..! There is no one in this world handling the hi-hat like Carlton, magician!👌🏽🙌🏼🌟🙏🏼

Gotta love some good reggae music.

Although the 1 is silent, it’s felt stronger in a one drop riddim
Or even left open ... :)
Thank you Michael and thank you Bob!! Just what I needed today.
No joke, I randomly met Devon Evans in person a couple days ago. I wanna protect his privacy, so I won’t go into great detail, but it was a moment I will never forget. The passion in his eyes as he spoke truths about the world were inspiring and humbling.
I only knew Bob Marley’s music/life at a high-level before that day. Now I’m on a deep-dive of what their movement was all about.
Thank you for posting this!!!
Just Love it You are awesome to play Reggae. Blessings my Teacher
Marley was a force of nature - jah bless!
So simple musically, yet so elevated by pure heart and soul. "We jam in Em all the time." "Yeah, but have you ever jammed in Em.... On weeeeeed?"
Reggae Concerts are a special experience. I've seen a few. But i missed the legend Bob Marley. In the early 90s I was able to see Ziggy Marley with the Wailers. Great! Irie!
Love hearing you do Bob. The groove is always just right.
Pure genius with its simplicity
The "One Drop" is on the 3rd beat/half time as oppose to the "Steppers" beat which is 4 to the floor.
"Jammin" is an good example. You can really hear how Reggae music is broken down via Dub albums. Nice reaction.
Yup. "One Drop" means they dropped the one, so you only get the bass drum on the third.
There is a misconception about the 4 on the floor riddim. It really is not 4 on the floor, the second kick is actually the third beat . It goes 1(kick), 2(silent), 3(kick+snare),4(silent).
seen many amazing music players who couldnt cope with the reggae groove.... its all happening in silences. very subtle and groovy, slow and deep
IMO the greatest single concert ever captured ❤️🎶
Michael! I met you in Steamboat. Great seeing you analyzing Bob Marley; my favorite artist! Ride on!
Thank you for this! Bob is a legend and that band is deadly!

I don't know Michael, When I'm laying on a beach in Jamaica, with a Margarita in hand, with White Sandy beaches, beautiful warm blue water, Listening to some Bob Marley, I'm not sure Snow, is the 1st thing that comes to mind, Lol,, "Love ya mike".

I appreciate, and sometimes overlooked, the trance aspect of reggae. Much like the sounds from Appalachia. It takes you to a reflective space in your mind.
He was one of the world's most organized musician. Mr. Perfectionist. Same with Michael Jackson
I’m like you bro,I could listen to reggae all day and you have excellent knowledge on reggae in respect to how each instrument should be played one drop drumming,the cymbals(hi hat)the muted bass lines,bubble on the keyboards,sweet and sour harmonies and the crashing cymbals also the stuck lines(guitar mute and play along with the bass) jah bless
Great choice, Marley is THE STANDARD, just like his guitarists, Al Anderson and Junior Marvin 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was waiting for Michael to talk about the “A-ness” of the music 😂 I love the ghost notes in the middle of the song! It almost sounds like reverb to me!
I have so many great reggae tunes I'd love to see you react to and break down! Of course Bob is the greatest of all time though ✊🇯🇲 Have a great trip brother!
Yes, slices reveal the simplicity of the work of genius ... when you think these guys learned with the feel ... raw talent is defined

MORE MARLEY
Your love for Bob and your explanation to the powerul arrangements is truly beautiful. God bless you for sharing 🙏❤️
i love to see someone saying what the reggae is and you you make me fell more that i already fell tanks
Really enjoyed this review! Love the enthusiasm and knowledge!
Bob was a great soccer player. His dance moves seem to just mimick his movements on the soccer field. R.I.P. Bob.
More, more more Bob Marley! Please do "So Much Trouble in the World"(studio version)
i do like the videos, it does get me amped about live music, it does pump me up to play some Bob and Wailers brah. thank you Michael
One Drop refers to:
1) Dropping (omitting) the kick and/or snare on one. 2) Dropping (hitting) the snare cross and kick on three (cut time) or two & four (1/2 time).
Great reaction videos!👍
Steamboat is awesome. Been twice. Founder, from what ive seen, meant for it to be a 'family' skiing spot. Have fun Mike.
Junior Marvin…. A beast on guitar… Bob had another guitarist, Al Anderson that was soooo underrated
Absolutely amazing. Needed this today man
I started watching reactions a couple of years ago, Have been requesting some Bob the whole time...Thanks.
The main reason I am commenting is you need to listen to "Going down" by Jeff Beck while skiing!
Michael, each vid like this you make is taking me on a little journey though the particular song and helps me discover all the small nuances and things which I haven't discovered before. I like how you break things down and the way your enthousiasm shines through in every comment. Thank you and keep doing you, brother!
this concert was perfect. If I had access to time travel, this would be up at the top of the list.
I’m inspired brotha! Have fun shredding the slopes in Steamboat!
Love Steamboat, hope you get fresh snow. Yeah you’re right, reggae is great on the hill. Good call.
