Real reggae fans have always known and respected Peter Tosh
Both men were great. Bob was a revolutionary, but peaceful like Dr. King. Peter was also a revolutionary, outspoken like Malcolm X. I love both men. They both served their purpose on this Earth.
And also we have other songs that prove it. The big media sells a pacifist Marley, but he was also a naturally rebel and revolutionary.
It takes a revolution to make a solution!
Check out the Survival album, it's an invite to take up arms.
Well put. Tosh was less dignified.

Peter Tosh is no joke! Immensely underrated!!!
Who said he is underrated? Not us old school fans! The true Tosh fans live hearing his Captured Live album!
@@joesoto690 I hear you, just meant in terms of popularity. The live performances is awesome! When they did rastafari is, nothing beats it!
💯
500 hundreds years.... You got to be high you got to be free
but charisma and ambition - ferocious ambition- are also reality and no joke either..Bob Marley had more ambition and charisma than Tosh, this is a fact -and he was not afraid to to be seen together with ' white men' and to trade with them (as a way to succeed , as a way to fulfill his ferocious ambition) whether Peter Tosh well...
As a black American I love Peter Tosh. I Grew up in foster homes and was beaten badly many times by my foster mother who was caribbean, She did not like me because I am a black American Creole from Louisiana. she came to live here in Louisiana because of the hardship in her country. Tosh gave me the strength to stand strong and stay that way. This was back in the 70's. I found out Tosh was performing here in America so I went to his concert. I wanted to tell him I had adopted him for my blood brother. I got the chance to speak with him. And he listened calmly to me. I think Tosh was way bigger then what your saying here. I am little but I stood next to him and I would say Tosh was more like six feet six He was a big guy! Still I told him why I adopted him. He said to me reaching his hand out. I took his hand he said with a little smile, its a honor my sister. Tosh I well knew did not have any brothers or sisters so I am very honored to be his only sister. Tosh and I are both born in October. He understood what I was going through. I love my big brother and always will. I think a lot of people in Jamaica misunderstood Tosh. I really did not know what he was going to say when I told him I had adopted him. But when he told me its a honor my sister and took my hand I smiled at him and gave him a big hug. So I don't care what any Jamaican say about Peter Tosh he was beautiful and they needed him then and they need him now. And that guy that killed him Tosh did everything he could to help that guy. Tosh was on the world stage but he still treated this guy like a person he had No! Reason to kill my big brother. Tosh was angry with Bob because of Chris Blackwell him Bunny, and Bob were brothers.
🙏
Love love people.

Wow beautiful story❤️

Peter was as big as Bob in Nigeria, bold, straight taker and everything he predicted came to be. Legalise it, "Africa is gonna be free". I met him in Surulere area of Lagos on his visit to Nigeria. The greatest reggae freedom fighter
Peter himself said he didn't attend because he was in shock . Did not want to see Bob in coffin. Burial song was done long way back before Bob died. It was never meant for Bob funeral. These guys were friends ,great friends and eth great friends there is always conflict.
100% agree with you. Especially if you listen to the person is probably got the most knowledge about Bob Marley people like bunny. And Rodger from the New York times. Bob Marley did not give a toss about money. After all he gave most of it away to the poor and his friends and family. This is simply nothing but miss information. 💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍
I don't think he hated Bob either 🤔
In 1981 just before bob died ,he attended one of Bob concert, went upstage and sang with him .
They were more than friends. They were like brothers-initially. But they definitely fell out later on. The comments Peter made about Bob after Bob passed weren’t the words of a friend. You little children who weren’t around during these happenings need to stop trying to rewrite history. What you wished was the fact and the actual facts are two separate things entirely.
@@douglasbrown1194 the concert you are talking about was in 1978! Bob was still receiving cancer treatments in 1981 while in Germany !
Peter Tosh was a superstar in his own way, just as Bob Marley was in his. It makes no sense putting one over the other or driving a wedge between the two. They were both legends.
❤
I've been to over 100 concerts in my life. One stands out as my most memorable. It was the summer of 1983. My friend Ralph and I heard on the radio one lazy July morning that Peter Tosh was playing that night at the Pier in NYC. Dennis Brown was the opening act. We hopped in the car with very little cash (about $100) and headed on down. We could only listen to the first act from outside of the 20'' high chain link fencing, as unfortunately we didn't have enough money to scalp tickets that were being sold outside. We were not alone. Hundreds of people were outside the venue, dancing in the street to the music. The perimeter was surrounded by cops, as many were trying to scale the fencing to illegally access the show (and most were being picked off the fence by the cops, with a few getting over), while the opening act was in play. We contemplated doing that ourselves, and so we got situated right next to a heavyset female cop who we thought we could get past during a lull in-between the musical acts. But before we could get the nerve to make a dash up the fence a man (a roadie, perhaps) from inside the venue at the backstage area suddenly opened an access-gate in the fencing that swung inward, and he silently waved his arms for a mob of hundreds to come on in! WIth their backs turned to the "inside-man" who opened the floodgates, the cops were overwhelmed when hundreds stormed the opened gate. Before I knew what was happening, I was picked up by the surging mob and pushed inside the concert arena, crashing into a metal garbage can and tumbling to the pavement just to the right-side of the stage. I stood up and found myself in the front row at the stagefloor of the concert, standing amongst a bunch a dreadlocked rastas, just as Peter Tosh was coming onto the stage. He was smoking a huge chillum pipe. He took a huge puff, and blew a giant cloud right in my face as he began chanting "Pick Myself Up" to begin what was the best concert I ever saw. The Bush Doctor was majestic that night. I have never seen such a commanding prescence on a stage, in any variety of music or in any other form of art.
Wow...What a great story!!! Thanks for sharing that Jim Lutz!!!
Wow! I would have loved to have seen that concert x
Many thanks for sharing your experience.

I'm Bob' cousin I knew Peter great great guy.
Peter Tosh is a Jamaican and Reggae icon! We must work harder for his name and music be to celebrated!
Both Bob and Peter were revolutionaries: they just fought their struggles in different ways.
This comment is brilliant! I completely agree. Both incredible musicians with far reaching legacies.
You are so Right 👍
Yeah 👍🏾 correct 💯
Nah, stop capping. Marley wasn't a revolutionary.
@@Nghilifa true
He was the truth no one wanted to face or hear. 👏👏👏
Love Peter Tosh. He was always my favourite, since I was a little girl. My rebel parents, God rest their souls, always played his records, even in the '70s when his Vampire record was banned. Brave, poetic soul with a beautiful voice.
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Nobody remembers that Tosh was gunned down because he was about to launch Dr Sebi. Dr Sebi won hands down his claim that Aids can be cured and there is no such thing as incurable diseases. This was in 1987. The next artists who lost their lives because of Dr Sebi are
Left Eye Lopez and Nipsey Hussle.
Yes, sis ...
Way better than Marley
Real revolutionist sorry he & LOBBAN never mend the difference
Very inspiring ❤warming
Hail Peter Tosh! May his music live for ever and ever.
Rastafari
Great artist and man. Overlooked by causal fans but the older people in Jamaica remember him well. He has a place in history.
Man I remember that day he passed, I was at school and my teacher took me aside and told me, he'd brought two black armbands that we wore all day because he knew I was a fan, sheit... teachers like that are rare! Peter was great, he was always my favorite, thanks brother!
Well, well well, Someone has finally finally said something about my childhood musical hero. Everyone is talking about peace no one is talking about justices. Thanks Senior Brother Tosh. You made the world better than you found it by speaking the truth no matter what. Your Spirit lives forever.
A Nigerian, Igbo man in the house
Peter is a star and stars are not seen if darkness doesn’t fall. He was for the truth and not for peace without justice.
this is ridiculous and shows the truth about society.
BURIAL is an allegory about people who want you to live their life like them (so you might as well die like them).
and... uuuuhhh... burial was composed '76, marley died '81....
Peter toch never sell out I love peter jah love
Another Biafrian in the house there would be no bob Marley without Peter tosh
The mystic man,the stepping razor,the greatest who still guides my life even today.
The real mystic man. May he soul rest in peace.
@@comahsamuel3969 for real
Till This Day, Still Peter Persist!
He is and always been my favorite. Salute King! Rest in power✊🏽
Peter tosh is and will always be the greatest musician of all time. He was spiritually gifted and ahead of his time.
Very debatable
He was.
Bob's looks were more promotable, acceptable and salable to a world wide audience back in those days.
@@silentnight3235damn
Malcolm and mlk
Really? With songs like Ketchy Shuby?? Lol
Peter my favourite wailer the man of the hour. I've had the pleasure of meeting and going to his apartment in uptown New York. He use to come by our jewelry store in n Queens said it reminds him of Jamaica. A real man no pretense like he said I am that I am. He really didn't get the recognition that he should have got because he wasn't a kiss ass. He really was a stepping razor. I'll always miss Peter Tosh he stood up for what he believed in you couldn't buy the brother. He's truly a legend. 💕
Do you still have your jewelry shoppe in Queens?
I will visit next time in NYC if so....
@@LaurenLawDawgHi!! No we don't have the store in Queens anymore at present I'm residing for the most part in Jamaica. Goldfinger is in Brooklyn on Nostrand Ave. Did u use to come by there back in the day?
It's not White well it's White worst.
I regard him as the best reggae musician. Outspoken in speaking the truth. I love him dead or alive. Ahhoooyyyiiiii!
Word. Peter Tosh was a revolutionary. He is without question, the BEST Reggae musician! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@MarshaNHill That's an opinion, not a fact.
Bunny Tosh and Bob are both immortal. Respect from the upper west side, New York city, God bless us all. 🎉
He was a revolutionary, His music will never die. Both were amazing artists. The truth makes the music better.
Yes man. You are absolutely correct. Peter Tosh was in the real sense unapologetic when it comes to equal rights and justice. He stood for the downtrodden and oppressed. He is dead but not gone. He lives through his message.
With his album mystic man, the first of his poetic excellence in music that got into my soul, I have till this day remained an apostle.
Thanks Peter Tosh.
Am not Gona give up! Till all Africans are FREE! I salute to your soul and spirit,Man rest easy.l love and listen to all your songs with understanding.
This is true he had fought and stood up for the downtrodden.The filthy colonial descendants hated this.I so abhor them,they aren’t talented in anything
1981. I was in Germany and part time DJ, where Purchasing Albums was by faith and I came across Peter Tosh and listen to his album. I thought he was the Rawest revolutionary artist I have heard. I’m glad he getting his just due
Peter was just brilliant! Love his vocals and energy and his passion for equality and justice. Shine on!
I grew up, in NZ, listening to Peter Tosh... My father loved him... Phenomenal talent aside, now I know why - Peter Tosh was a righteous, intelligent, thoughtful, thought-provoking man... The herbalist verbalist, indeed! ❤❤❤
Thanks for setting the record straight about Tosh's absence from Marley's funeral and the song burial being directed at Bob, as well as other malicious rumours that bore no relationship to the truth. Those of us, at home and abroad who knew, understood, and respected Peter's mission, have been giving this recognition to Peter for years. Nevertheless, I am pleased to hear that Peter is getting the long-overdue recognition for his contributions to Jamaican music, his passionate fight for equal rights and justice in Jamaica and all over the world and so much more. As for being hated by the Jamaican so called upper classes, WHO CARES? In the words of the late, great, Peter Tosh, if you live in a glass house don't throw stones and everyone is talking about crime, crime, tell me, who are the criminals?😀
One love sistren. Africa DNT differentiate the love of these two great elders. Love n honour them equally Peter n Bob
Well said! Babylon love spread rumors
I'm only saying what bunny wailer said and Rita Marley and Marcia griffiths. Or less than 3 people don't know what they are talking about..💯🇬🇧👍
@Jean Clarke- Very interesting and sad to find out in your comment how Tosh was/is viewed in Jamaica, I had no idea- at the time of their great success I was between Europe and Africa, and there Peter Tosh was and has always been regarded as an immense musical talent, a fierce defender of justice and serious revolutionary panafricanist, and his life, music and ideas are celebrated to this day with a love of love. So none of those rumours were able to tarnish the Tosh legacy in other parts of the world, as you can see from many comments here from those with African sounding names, Africans have been celebrating Peter Tosh as a legend and a hero always. May all the souls of our dear Wailers continue to live long, the Wailers for ever!! (we ought to be careful for they will create rumors to divide us)
I love you love for Peter,I have seen your comments else where before.Love from Kenya 🇰🇪👊🏿
One of the greatest reggae singers of all time. Rest in peace.
No,may Peter rest in Revolution!
He could be a part of the 144.000 being from the blood line off the Tribe of Judah, coming back to bring justice to the lost sheep of Israel.
Revelation 7:4-8 and the number of the sealed, 144,000 from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed, ....
Revelation 14:1
Then I looked, and there before me was the lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his father's name written on their foreheads.
Not rasta or haili ceast etc, but true blood Israel, check out the curses of Deuteronomy 28.
I love them all 3 unique souls their personality is completely different 3👑👑👑I am still crying to this day play their music every time I want positive vibrations 😭♥️🇯🇲
one of the greatest artist of all time!!
I never saw Bob Marley live but was fortunate to see Peter Tosh perform in Berkeley, CA during his Mama Africa tour. I can still hear his voice and remember him coming off the stage and walking through the aisles, so tall, and wearing a beautiful african robe. It was like meeting a king for the first time - the energy was absolutely magical. I was and am still saddened by his passing. Thanks for helping people decipher the facts from fiction in regard to his life.
Rest in Power Mr Tosh. Love your music forever. You made Bobs mission as a prophet possible. One love
Indeed, Tosh was the high priest of Reggae music. Thank you, Tosh.
Yes indeed, light recognize light
So much love for Peter. A true revolutionary, inspiration and comedian
Rest in Peace!! You great warrior. Your music revolutionized the world. You told us " To get up stand up for your rights " Don't give up the fight"
I was very fortunate to see both Jimmy Cliff and Peter Tosh in the 70s. Damned great show.
The history of global pioneers of reggae isn't complete without the name *Peter Tosh* .
Thank you for your efforts Bro and Rest in peace. 🥀
May Peter Stand In Revolution!Igzeber!
Exactly on point!!! Them a hypocrite who refuse to mention his name!
Yes I .ONE❤.
God Bless you for re-revealing the true and ever living greatness of the " Honorable Citizen " , Peter Tosh. I was driving in White Plains, New York, when i heard the news of Peter's passing, another hero gone. I pulled over my car, and started crying, part of me has never stopped crying. Maybe, finally, our Beloved Teacher will get his much deserved Respect and Love. May God's Eternal Love be forever yours dearest Peter. Simon Chowins
Many thanks and blessings
Simon chowins, condolences.In our country we didn't speak English,we spoke french,i didn't understand what rastamen sing, when we started to learn and use English ,i started to listen to Bob Marley songs and understand them.After i discovered Peter tosh,this is my role model of music . From him,I leant how to take 0 and 0 and get 1.And how to arrange music with good melody , groove and harmony.
Divine peace to Peter Tosh’s beautiful soul. 🙏🏾💛 Many thanks girl this video. (💯 @ Chris Whitewell)
They paint Peter as the villain and Bob as the Arch angle …Love both men they forever two of the greatest face Jamaica has ever know
Two legends, each changed the world in their own ways. Their spirit lives on forever loving jah!
Underrated by who?
Peter Tosh's greatness has never been argued by those who loved and understood his music.
Bob and Peter, two Kings of reggae, forever missing, never forgotten
Agreed. It's my least favorite word on social media- especially UA-cam comment sections.
I absolutely cherish the memory of seeing Peter perform at the Electric Ballroom in Atlanta. I was less than ten feet from the stage. Sly, Robbie and Peter were incredible.
They are great sons of Jamaica who will never be forgotten. Hail the most high Jah.
Peter Tosh is a HUGE influence in my life and while Marley has so many positive and uplifting vibin hits, Tosh truly was the one that forged my values and beliefs as a human. His songs preach the words of truth and justice, the penultimate things that matter in a free, peaceful world...
May I respectfully ask what he meant when he said, "we're sick and tired of this ism schism to die and go to heaven in Jesus'name Lord."? I need to understand if he meant Jesus was a game.
@@ivansantos609 No, the ism schism refers to the fracturing of people through "isms", politics, religions, and people in general. 'ism-ing' everything for the sake of division, what about just following Jesus' example. Set the rich straight, fight colonizers, and live in a virtuous life helping your neighbors and those less fortunate.
@@ivansantos609 Peter did not say isms and skisms. Peter said he tired of the bulshit... It is Bob who changed the word Bullshit to isms and skisms.
Peace eternally, brother Peter.
Painful to have discovered your greatness when you're no more here. You're still a huge inspiration for generations. You're the best!
One of my absolute favorite Rasta reggae artists! Never forget how revolutionary legalize it was when it came out! Hated by governments loved by Rasta and the people! Straight represented! Sending love to Peter and him family. Jah got the high alway 🔥🔥🔥❤️💛💚🔥🔥🔥
Big up Peter Tosh, loved his deepness his vibe his passion for Justice ❤️ 💛 💚
Everybody's wants to go up to heaven but nobody wants to die, rest on legendaries
White boy here who grew up in Puerto Rico. I got to see so many Reggae concerts I literally forget all I have seen as I have seen so many kegends from Jamaica it is silly. Always respected Tosh and his music. I loved seeing Marley’s sons live too. Reggae is amazing and the best export from Jamaica to the world.
Thanks for this info. I never knew about all this. I love both Marley and Tosh's music and wonderful talent!!
Peter was one of the most genuine militant artist I have ever heard,I admire and love him. I must say i come to respect and love him even more than Bob. To this day whenever I feel out of it, I play Pick myself Up my favorite song of his.
Peter is one of the best!! If you really love reggaes! Peter is always there!! ✊🏽👊🏽
Blessed to have seen Peter Tosh twice in the 70's. What a powerful band! Sly, Robbie, China Smith, etc. Saw Marley only once '78. Both were truly awe inspiring live!
John Lloyd I laughed so hard that I almost ate my head.
A revolutionary of note indeed. His songs are still influential even to this day. And I think they will continue to be because the ideals and value which he promoted are still falling short.
This documentary adds nothing. All rather inuendo. Yes, Bob and Peter had a tumultous relationship. Remember when Peter Tosh was severely beaten up by the police and was hospitalized? Bob went to see peter in hospital and wept because he could not stand seeing Peter in such a predicament. Bob tried to convince Peter to leave Jamaica at once and of course, Peter refused.
That said, the song Burial was done long before the split of the wailers. It was a solo record by Peter Tosh, and was never intended to mock Bob Marley on his burial. People should also know that Bob Marley paid for the recording costs of Peter Tosh's seminal album Legalize It. Also in one iconic moment, Bob Marley was joined on stage by Peter at Bob Marley's concert in Beverly Hills for the encore song "Get Up Stand Up".
Those are facts that should be highlighted in the documentary, not the spreading of bad vibes long after the death of two childhood friends.
I liked the video especially calling out Whiteworst and the drama around the band name, it's a good callout. Still, you're right, it deserves a greater emphasis on their story of friendship that outside influences tried to dismantle without complete success. I know Peter and Bob were on harmonies for some of Blackheart Man; and recall hearing Bob on harmonies on at least one track of Legalize It.
Thank you 👏🏾👌🏾
If the Wailers didn't work with Chris Blackwell in 1972, Bob, Peter, and Bunny would have been forgotten, and nobody would care.
@@myleswayne301 Do not overhype Chris Blackwell. What you need to know is that Reggae, Peter Tosh, Bob Marley et al would have happened without the involvement of Chris Blackwell. Remember that not every reggae artiste coming out of Jamaica was on Island Records. You need to know there was Beverlys, Studio One, Trojan, and many other record labesl that were doing damage. Ska morphed into rock steady, which developed into reggae and dub...so the story goes.
Coming back to Chris Blackwell. He understood Bob Marley and what Bob wanted to do with the music. Chris on the other hand was one person Bob could trust with his music.. This Marley said countless times. They made a perfect tug team but most importantly Blackwell new Marley music was not an immediate hit, but music for generations to come. Blackwell invested millions into creating the music and never giving up. 6-7 albums with one record label, an international one at that! You have to hand it to the work ethic of Marley and foresight of Blackwell. \\
The result. Marley will outsell any reggae artiste now and into the future year on year.
well maybe chris blackwell may have ripped them off at first but still it had to go that way so the wailers and bobs music would get known in babylon......
RIP Peter Tosh! You we're a true messenger, thank you
My mom loved his EQUAL RIGHTS album, and i love it too. Was playing it a few days ago, glad I found this video!
Peter Tosh is my favorite artist!
Peter Tosh was a decent and genuine human being. Met him a few times and he was always willing to talk, even though i was just a youth. I remember him on North street in Kingston one morning going to KC. Another time at Half Way Tree when he was selling (by hand) his 45 'Babylon Queendom'. Although I met other members of the Wailers , he was always my favourite. I later was priviliged to have in my band Larry McDonald who not only played with Peter Tosh but also Bunny Livingston and Bob Marley. R.I.P. Peter Tosh, Bunny Livingston, and Bob Marley(also R.I.P. Carly Barrett)
Hi mate, where can we check out your music
@@Khp1983 Thanks for your Inquiry. My music can be found on You Tube under my name Hartley White and under Hartley C. White. My last album was released in late 2016 (8 albums, and about 57 videos)Percussionist Larry McDonald plays on 5 of my albums. My music is not Reggae, as I utilise a broken rhythm. I expect to do a new album in 2023 and expand on the uniqueness of my music.
All the best to you. My music and a few videos can also be found on my friend Zach Phillips label OSR.
Peter Tosh has a unique bend to reggae with lyrics strictly his own. No need to compare the brothers and continue sowing bile! Let JAH reign!
Peter Tosh is my Hero. I hate to see how we honor this great man because he spoke against the status quo. When I listen to this man's music, I am baffled by the absence of true worth as it relates to him when you listen to some of the historians. Rest well my brother, you are a warrior right to the end.
I still listen to Peter!!!!
Bob, peter and bunny dont go to funerals. Bob never went to his friend jacob miller funeral either. They took the nazerite vow.
I no we have bad friends in our life n dats life but 4 me am more of a tosh follower or say fan and yes real rastaman don't go death burial straight up..peace from U.K london
Bob marley never cut off his cancerous toe due a misguided understanding of what he thought was truth...the fact the bible tells us that which offends cut it off.
@@sankofaashanti2572 a “real Rastaman” lol Yow man move from ya with that
Bob never die before Jacob Miller?
No Jacob died year before. Died younger than Bob.
My dad introduced me to his songs,Peter is his favorite reggae artist, reason being that he hear what he says clearly and that Peter is a revolutionary
peter tosh still my man at the moment. all the he is not leaving, he was great.
Most of his songs have great massages. Especially picked up myself, Don't look back, recruiting solders and not the least Iam that Iam. RIP Tosh
Incredible. I loved Bob Marley's music and the man. His photos are throughout my home. I have his biography and his music of all his songs and video of his life. I was not aware of what this video on Peter Tosh revealed. Very disturbed by it. I feel incredible empathy for Peter. Both Bob & Peter were revolutionaries. It's more than one prototype. Thanks for the enlightening. My views on either man has not been diminished. Bob was almost assassinated too which was a precuser to his relocating to the US. All friends are not faithful to the end. It's been like that in biblical days too present. Mankind has one friend: THE Most High. Peace out. Africa Unite.. my favorite.
They were BOTH assassinated in different ways by the same agencies
Peter and Bob are the Yin and Yang. Should have never separated.
One goal, With different roads, Both wanted peace but with different methods, One love ❤️
I love to watch these videos because they are quite educational. I love the history of reggae music.
Well deserved well overdue recognition miss him still✊
No one better or tougher than Peter Tosh 🙌
Someone has already posted this, but the real fans of Reggae have always known and respected Peter Tosh I echo that sentiment.❤❤😢
I find it interesting that he is seen as the 'forgotten member ' of the Wailers. In Zimbabwe he is celebrated and is probably the next artist to come to mind when Bob's name is mentioned.
Thanks for sharing Ras Dennis
He's still very famous in Brazil too. He even appeared in an soap opera episode here. He's second only to Bob when it comes from being popular among the brazilian reggae fans
In my opinion, Peter was the greatest reggae performer ever. Nuff respect.
@@chriskolb3105 lol NO
The “forgotten member” is Bunny Wailer!!
All three are great, all three are revolutionary, but I'm starting to love Peter Tosh the most.
I have now read all the comments and learned some more truths
Jah bless the mystic man
The radical Reggae Legend "you gotta walk and dont look back" - life.
Peter Tosh was a real revolutionary. And i love all his albums.
Respect bredda Peter Tosh, the truth always comes out in the end. I don't believe Peter is resting, in spirit he is working preparing all we brothers and sisters who believe in mystic, for the day when good will overcome evil, and no one will be suffering conflictions when we go to the higher one's land💚💛❤🎵🎸🫂
I love Peter Tosh .His song are very deep to me.I have been through some stuff and I can identify with him in many ways.
❤💛💚Rastafari🚦Peter Tosh! You will always be my REBEL HERO🇯🇲
May you rest in JAH'S LOVE❤
The Legend Tosh is the one who taught Bob how to play guitar
Said who? Only Peter claimed that.
Nonsense.
And even if it was true, neither of them will be remembered for their guitar playing.
I'm a 69 year old white guy in Arizona, who loves reggae more than any other music.
Peter Tosh was a great musician and a great songwriter. However, he lacked the charisma that made Bob Marley great. Tosh was correct in many of his ideas. And you can argue forever about whether it's better to achieve your goals through peace, or through activism.
I believe Bob Marley, through peace, love, hope, and unity, did far more good for the world than Peter Tosh did. Tosh was very angry, and that came through his music.
However, I resent the "Chris Whitewell" comment. It shouldn't be about race.
I never heard that the Barrett Brothers were illiterate. Family Man was the greatest musician among them all.
Jah bless Bob and Peter both, and Bunny Wailer, as well.
I recently got back into Peter Tosh. I am 57 so that means I got him those days. But after hearing all the bs. Peter Tosh was really good. I forgot how many major reggae hits he had. Somehow, Bob pipped him at the finish line. tosh's mistake was close his eyes and ears to almost divinely inspired reggae brilliance by Bob Marley. Bob was on another level. Peter Tosh knew this. He was jealous of Bob but he had major skills himself. I love his tracks big time. Bob Marley seemed to have an edge of richness and depth. But then I know of some of Tosh songs that are rastafari anthems. Ego may be the difference.
Thank you both, Marley & Tosh for being YOU!!! I HOPE & PRAY YOU BOTH ARE R.I.P. WITH JAH IN HEAVEN. YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!! Much ❤️ & No Worries!!! 😋✌️
You failed to mention that when Peter was badly beaten and lying in his jail cell it was Bob who went down and convinced the police to let him out .
Why have this fight Bob and Peter are 2 greats who delivered the same message with different styles
❤Peter Tosh- The Bush Doctor🎉 Revolutionary riddims❤ 😢REST IN POWER brother Tosh. You have changed my life, Much £ove and Raspect
Always has been one of my favorites but i didn’t know anything beyond his music, this info makes me admire Peter Tosh even more.
Peter is my main the braves Rasta from Jamaica big up the Rasta Man
The most milltant rastaman ever lived Peter the man Rip Rasta you will forever be in my mind you don't skinup when comes to the cause on Matter what I know that you are at the right hand of the almighty God JAHRASAFAI
Good. I was about to say this before the narrator chipped in. The song burial was written way back in the Rocksteady era...And reworked on the Legalize It Album of 1976.
I listen to Peter Tosh al the time, back in 1998 i took a road trip from Calif to NC, while in Nc I picked up Peters album legalize it at a yRd sale for $1. I was blown away when i seen it!!
Big time Peter Tosh fan here
Not only interesting 🤔 but also very educational thank you 😊 so much
R.I.P. Peter!!!!!
I was in attendance at Peter Tosh’s memorial in Atlanta in 1987. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The music was incredible and the vibe was next level.
I don't know the level of education Peter Tosh had but CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ABSOLUTELY INTELLIGENT AND BRILLIANT
HE WAS.
Peter should be crowned JA🇯🇲 Hero. there was nothing fake about him. A true Revolutionist. ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥What a Great Man.
I slept on this, man.
Rise In Power and Rest in Everlasting Peace, Justice and Happiness Peter Tosh Legend
Peter Tosh the greatest song writer of Jamaica
Naaaah! Bob Marley and even Jimmy Cliff are better songwriters!
Name one other musician who recorded a Peter Tosh!
As a child I use to think Bob Marley was so far the best reggae musician of all time untill I stumbled on peter touch’s album (equal rights ) den I realized I thought wrong… But watching this and realizing they were both childhood friends it all make sense… two prophets with same message clearly doesn’t matter whose mouth spoke it first they were both great and there impact and legacy will forever live on …peace
Peter tosh was not afraid to speak the truth
@@abrahammakhunga7466 He sure wasn’t He was lyrically blunt…I listened to every line of his songs….
Peter Tosh has always been my all time favourite reggae artist
