- Synopsis:
Taken from the Trojan video archive, this concert film is one of the last Bob Marley live performances commited to film before his untimely death in May 1981. The concert took place at The Santa Barbara County Bowl on the 25th of November 1979, and the resulting film is an incredible record of Bob Marley's performance; one that is arguably an equal of the better-known 'Live at the Rainbow' show filmed on the Exodus tour in 1977. Every song is received rapturously, but the show takes a quantum leap as night falls and Bob and the Wailers burst into 'Exodus', a work of epic poetry. By the time the show is concluding with the militant 'Get Up Stand Up', the entire auditorium is swaying along and mouthing the repeated lines of 'Cos I never give up the fight', a defiant statement of intent that brings this inspirational concert to a close. With remastered picture and audio, the 70 minute version of the film has been extended here by a further 22.minutes (coprtesy of Don Letts) to include an additional 7 songs not included in the original cut. Also included as a video extra is another gem from the Trojan vaults: an archive documentary entitled "Prophecies and Messages". Running at approximately 51 minutes, this includes 30 minutes of previously unseen interview footage with Bob Marley, and the Wailer's keyboard player Tyrone Downie.
