Yet another brilliant live performance here from Bob Marley. This album contains live versions of many of the songs classified as 'clascics' by many people today. A superb album, not even a 5 star rating does this album justice. Well worth the money.

In the same summer that produced another memorable live album, Frampton Comes Alive, Bob Marley and the Wailers' performance at the Lyceum in London gave us this excellent, but very contrasting, live album. It shows the band at their exuberant best and is full of atmosphere, with spirited performances of some of Marley's best-known early protest songs, a great band, and enthusiastic audience participation. The remastered sound is much better than the original vinyl LP, and though the one extra track included is nothing special, it gives a sense of completeness as it was the B-side of the hit single No woman no cry which came from this concert (you get the full 7 minute version on this album). All lyrics are included, and several very nice live performance photos of Bob. Sufficient to say that this really is one of the classic reggae albums.

This cd is superb.I first heard it in 1975 and since then there is rarely a week goes by when I haven`t played it...originally in vinyl of course ! The atmosphere is tremendous;Marley & The Wailers are on top form and the track selection faultless.It ranges from No Woman,No Cry...anyone remember Johnny Walker playing that at leat three times in one lunchtime show ?...to Get Up,stand Up and the newly included Kinky Reggae.It sounds and feels like summer and more importantly it is the sound of a master performer and audience in harmony celebrating a universal culture that manafes to envelope the listener.(Sorry if that sounds pretencious !! ) As a live album its up there with Christy Moore "Live At The Point" and Bruce`s "New York City".
