New Unreleased Performances on 180g Vinyl Double LP!
Bob Marley & The Wailers: Easy Skanking In Boston 78, features two historic live shows from Bostons Music Hall on June 8, 1978. This new and unreleased performance is from the Marley family giving unprecedented access for the first time to their personal material from their private collections and their vaults.
Highlights of the performance include a lively Jammin and The Heathen, a song Marley and the band didnt perform during the second set. The show features them at their most comfortable, truly enjoying themselves in the spotlight, basking in the appreciation of the audience.
Marley, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, is notable not only as the man who put reggae on the global map, but, as a statesman in his native Jamaica, he famously brought together the countrys warring factions symbolized by rival politicians Michael Manley and Edward Siega joining hands on-stage during his legendary One Love Peace Concert in Kingston, which took place on April 22, 1978, less than six weeks before this Music Hall performance in Boston.
It was two years since Marley and the band arrived from Jamaica, with the 1977 release of Exodus recorded in London just after an assassination attempt on his life, turned into not just a socio-political statement, but one which included such hits as the title track, Waiting In Vain and One Love, paving the way for their next release Kaya and a world tour in 78. Together with his musics theme of liberation, Marleys own rags-to-riches story brought inspiration to subjugated people around the world, where he was revered as a larger-than-life leader.
