Bob Marley & The Wailers - Concrete Jungle (Live at The Old Grey Whistle, 1973)

[@tubbexD]

I prefer this live version than any other version. The clip and the old grainy sound just does something to me.

[@deonlionheart]

Same here!

[@gigijnbaptiste6974]

Musically, it's called the "dirty" sound to Jamaican musicians. A raw grittiness that's endearing to the ear. You can also hear it a lot in Ska, being from the Caribbean, I can't help but like it.

[@kool-808]

⁠​⁠@@gigijnbaptiste6974 That's a perfect analysis sista. Me being from the Caribbean as well, from Haiti I notice the grittiness very clearly. Konpa also has a type of grittiness.

[@kakistocracyusa]

Absolutely - I never even knew this version was filmed until now. Same with many of their other songs. Anyone who relies on their studio albums is really missing out

[@stephanegerard7216]

Same for me

[@eltonsutcliffe1060]

Bunny Wailer , Peter Tosh , Bob Marley , Aston Barrett , Earl 'Wya' Lindo and Carlton Barrett. Masters.

Always left speechless and emotional listening to this masterpiece from Bob Marley and the Wailers. As a yardman this always moves me. RIP to the great Bob, Peter, Bunny and the amazing Family man. What a band !!

[@wawilaa]

At this time they were called The Wailers or ( The Wailing Wailers)

C’était un soir d’été , précisément en 1974! J’étais dans une boîte de nuit ! Tout d’un coup cette chanson a été mise. Un son venu d’un autre monde ! Nous ne savions pas comment la danser! Certains la dansaient en reggae d’autres en slow!! Cette chanson a fait vibrer ce soir les murs de cette boîte de nuit ! Nul doute ce petit bonhomme a beaucoup fait pour les peuples d’Afrique et des de tous les opprimés du monde Depuis, à cette époque, longtemps elle est devenue une hymne . Merci à ce grand Monsieur . Bobb, tu es éternel.

I remember being a child/young teenager and Bob was everywhere where I live, Outskirts of Lisbon, Portugal. We had it all, Jamaican Flags everywhere, everyone knew and respected Bob, this was in the 90s, so you can see how far Bob Message has spread by that time.

[@soothsayer9216]

Genius is banded about for the select few; Bob Marley was a musical and song writing genius. This live performance is mesmerising from both himself and the 'Wailers'.

[@truskool1971]

Many will romanticise this performance with very little regard or real understanding of the soil that this was grown out of Know that what you are hearing is the personification of the pain suffering hunger despair (I could go on) of life inside the ghettos of Kingston Jamaica! You may think you know? but unless you have inhaled and exhaled it yourself ? I can assure you that you don’t ! Poverty is the biggest crime!

[@debbieboyd1295]

Oh my goodness, it’s baby Bob Marley! Bless whomever uploaded this! Only by the miracle of them & KZbin do we see this early performance of Bob & The Wailers….sadly, every man on this stage has crossed over to the other side. Bob met them at the Gates of Heaven and they are all jamming together again! 50 years later…and still we listen, dance, and sing along…not bad for a biracial kid from Trench Town. As an old white woman, this bootie has shook to Bob Marley since the beginning and it shakes everytime his music plays. Rest in peace & power dear Bob, I know there will be a big crowd…but I’m going to find you in Heaven to thank you for this music and shake your hand. Jamming for life…

[@ThatFijianGuy]

One of the Greatest live studio performance ❤ I’m honoured to have grown up in Bob Marley’s era

[@MC-bu6ez]

Just about as good as it gets,!

[@amigazo3972]

I have seen a dozen of videos on KZbin, never ending poor covers from other bands, his sons making shitty versions of his music. Nobody sounds like Bob and The Wailers live. Despite the primitive technology in sound of those days, it is amazing and pure. I believe that this band live was the faithful representation of musical perfection, magic, coordination, soul and feeling. Nobody never, never, will match the talent and feeling of this man and his band.

Peter Tosh - what a legend!

[@ChrisSmith-xh9wb]

Peter Tosh's musicality took Bob Marley's songs to another level. He was the perfect complement. Sadly he lacked Bob's songwriting genius and could not make on his own. I wish he had stayed in the band for longer.

Marley's music was transcendent before he went to London, but became mesmerizing after he incorporated what the British studio musicians and technicians had to offer. Folks who have obsessively replayed Grey Whistle Test's "Concrete Jungle know what I mean.
