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".

My excitment at seeing Bob back in 1975 is hard to describe.
I was a student at Reading University at the time and had been into BMW since Catch a Fire. This was a guilty secret at a time when outside of the West Indian community, Reggae was loved only by "skinheads".
I`d been to Jamaica in 1974, at the time of the "Gun Courts" and had stayed in Kingston as well as touring the island. There wasn`t much live music to be seen but The Wailers were everywhere on the radio and the street sound systems.
Then came Natty Dread with it`s message of Revolution and Dance!!! I was blown away by the sheer intensity of the music and the words. Bob suddenly began to become a fashionable name to drop.
So when BMW came to the Uk on tour I was one of the first in line; actually back then, before the internet, I think it was a matter of sending a cheque in the post.
After the customary wait inside a crowded and very hot Lyceum, the concert was brilliant. Pounding rhtyhms, a messaniac singer,sweet backing vocals and a sea of sweating,swaying, skanking, bodies, some young and some old; mostly black, but with a sizeable minoriyy of whites. And almost everyone seemed to know all the songs, thats why on the disc you can hear the audience singing along.
After two hours of the most glorious music we stumbled into the strrets of the West End, knowing we had seen something special, and someone who was going to be an important part of the rest of our lives.

Trenchtown Rock, Indeed
Recorded at the Lyceum in London in 1975, this concert works well on two levels; as a great "almost-best off" for the casual fan, and as an essential slice of classic-era live... Read more

A fine album!
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. Read more
