Bob Marley & the Wailers – Roots Rock Reggae: Live At The Hammersmith Odeon (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Hammersmith Odeon residency in June 1976 came at a pivotal moment, just months before the attempted assassination at 56 Hope Road that would force Marley into exile and reshape the final chapter of his life. Catching the band at this particular peak, with the Rastaman Vibration album freshly in the world, makes this document something genuinely rare: Bob Marley and the Wailers at full power, on their own terms, before everything changed.
Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Oden is a stunning, previously unreleased live album from Bob Marley, recorded over several nights during the Wailers’ residency at London's prestigious Hammersmith Odeon in June 1976, during their Rastaman Vibration tour. Booking the venue was an audacious move, but Bob had newfound stardom from the U.K. chart success of “No Woman, No Cry,” and an ecstatic crowd packed the place. Highlights include a transcendent title song, a rarely performed “Bend Down Low,” an extended version of “Crazy Baldhead,” and a 30-minute encore that incorporates a 12-minute “Get Up, Stand Up.” New liner notes by Marley associate Don Letts bring an eyewitness account to the experience.
