A great track by Bob Marley, he did a lot of great music which doesn't get played, everyone seems to play his well known hits but not the album tracks so much, which is a pity.
At this point they were called "The Wailers" after Peter tosh to his right and Bunny wailer to his left, left the group the group became Bob Marley and the wailers.
Technically - and it is a minor technicality - they weren't Bob Marley & The Wailers at this point, they were still The Wailers, before Bunny and Peter left a few months later. They also did an astonishing version of Stir It Up on this broadcast which was really their major breakthrough in Britain. You really need to see as well, it'll give you shivers.
It was kind of a political song, about poverty and oppression, and it's a really great performance. You can hear the emotions his voice, and the harmonies are great.
I was always under the impression it was written about his experience living in London. There's an excellent BBC doco called when bob Marley came to Britain. Where they discuss it. It's well worth a watch
I tend towards Morgan Freeman’s thinking on Black history month , he said it was a distraction and allowed a feeling of “ well what more do they want ? They’ve got a month now “ and I agree . It’s a purely invented narrative that salves the conscience of the non black community that can now safely ignore the lives and issues of the black community for the following 11 months and I don’t see that as progress and a lot of the seniors in the Black community agree with Mr Freeman . Don’t blame me 😅 you two brought it up first ✊ As for this track , it’s not only my fav Marley track , it’s not only my fav reggae track , it’s not only my fav Marley studio appearance it’s basically one of my top 5 songs in my life ever and this live appearance is the pinnacle of TOGWT entire history - it’s 🔥 and I adore it 👌👏 👍🏴
Some things are best left in the past because of friction that they cause. Okay, acknowledge the rights and wrongs of everything, but leave it be and live in the here and now. Too many people go on about things that happened long before any of us was ever born, and there's nothing we can do about it except repeat their folly. Skin colour doesn't matter a jot because when blood flows, it's always red. We should leave all enmity in the past, except England and Scotland for The Calcutta Cup.

Bob Marley grew up in a poor country area on a farm with his mother in Jamaica. Jamaica, especially at that time, was not very developed. A lot of people don't know that Bob Marley was a country boy who turned into a reggae rockstar. I never considered these facts until this video. This song makes so much more sense to me now.
This is a lovely song. I'm not sure that Bob Marley was a great singer, but he was a great artist. For me, the best ever artist from the Caribbean followed by Eddie Grant.
Great version with the Wailers, Bunny and Peter. Regrettably never saw this formulation live. Did see Bob and his band at Convocation Hall and Maple Leaf Gardens back in the 70's

Chris .. they only do St Patrick’s day in north America ? 😮🙄😳… Is that GTA humour ? 😅….. 😝😝😝 It’s Ireland’s patron Saint as you hopefully know .. so no , it’s not just North America . Irish folk emigrated to all 4 corners of the world and everywhere they went they took their traditions and patron Saint with them . St Patrick’s day is HUGE in Ireland and the UK , I’m sure down under too , basically if a country speaks any English there will be Irish folk celebrating St Patricks day on the 17th March. There is a horse race meeting here in UK at Cheltenham and if St Paddy’s day falls on a day they are racing the place is packed with literally 1,000’s of visiting Irish celebrating their patron saints day . 😅 Your welcome 👌 👍🏴

And that is one of the best of NESTA MARLEY, THE ONE AND THE ONLY.
ANYWAY I LOVE THE WAY YOU BOTH LOVE BOB.

Yeah, that's a cool version, I'll vote for that!
I love this song not only Marley but also the wailers at there very best, brilliant bravo don't stop 🏴 happy healthy peace ✌️
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏✌️✌️✌️ EXCELLENT 👌 were is the love to be found?
Bob would say he is a farmer, first and foremost. This is a great performance!

Far better than the Lisa Stansfield song today. Bob was a real tour de force
HUGE understatement that I HAD to comment on .. couldn’t stop myself ..

What are you talking about I take it your American☹

The band is incredible. There is a lot sonically in that and they manage to make it sound simple.
I like City Life but I'm also happy oot in the Country. They both have Positives and Negatives.
Great version with the Wailers, Bunny and Peter. Regrettably never saw this formulation live. Did see Bob and his band at Convocation Hall and Maple Leaf Gardens back in the 70's
It's more an awareness of yourself in a concrete jungle.
Now it has to be the time for concrete jungle by the specials, another great tune!
A great reggae band from Jamaica I think you guys would love is "Culture - International Herb"
Hahaha no excuses this time Jay
I cannae keep up, I had to take a day off.
Interestingly, they were still just billed as The Wailers at that time.
Truth!

The Specials covered this on their debut album. Be a nice comparison 👌
Oops 😬 ! The songs share a title but aren't the same song .. I stand corrected & red faced !
Still, we should check it out.
@hanierfamily It's a great track with similar subject manner to be sure.
