Product Description
Contents: The first in a series of miraculous, previously unreleased recordings of Bob Marley & The Wailers, revived once again. Immediately after releasing their first internationally-oriented album, "Catch a Fire," they toured the United States in 1973, but ended up overshadowing the main act, Sly & the Family Stone, and were subsequently dropped from the tour. The young Jamaican lions then performed a legendary live show at the Matrix in San Francisco, which became their replacement venue. This recording is a studio jam for that Matrix show, which was a major topic of discussion in their autobiography and other publications, and its existence was unknown until P-Vine released it on CD in 2005. With a dream team of Bob Marley (vocals/guitar), Peter Tosh (vocals/guitar), Joe Higgs (percussion), Earl Lind (keyboards), Family Man Barrett (bass), and Carlton Barrett (drums), they unleash a reggae, or rather, a rock spirit that is truly a Trenchtown Experience. Tracks like "Star It Up," which were full of sweet rocksteady mood, transform into fierce rock and burn in live performances. This is a miraculous reissue of world-premiere recordings.
