Bob Marley Center, Montego Bay

[@D1944_]

Where is THIS music today in the reggae world? Gone are the days of playing music with integrity and purpose. Jamaica is no longer putting out talent and as you can see the biggest bands/Singers are from outside of JA. Nuff Raspect to the pioneers of Jah Music.. Me thank you and many tanks for uploading this classic...

It's out there, and it's just as revolutionary...you just have to have your ear to the pavement. Not so easy as you get older

[@bigbiemacaw]

It's still there. it's just evolving . Go to Jamaica ppl play in the small villages, but be with a local or be mad chatty like me..id make friends in the bath alone 😂

[@CollinsMahuntsi-rp3qk]

Today commercialized reggae or ragga is all about sex,drugs and guns.we are dismayed as conscious music lovers

[@jimmarshall5453]

This was my first of seven years to trek to Jamaica specifically to attend and photograph Reggae Sunsplash Festival. 83, 84 and 86 through 90. I took between 1200 and 1500 photos of each festival and audio taped every note of the last three of those years. RASpect and LOVE to all the promoters and performers, and especially the Jamaican PEOPLE who made it so special!

[@tebogo_tom]

Big up Jim Marshall. I belive you have a lot of archives in your library there..

R.I.P Sugar Minott, I was born in the year 2000 and never got the chance to go and see you perform live but I I know that on that bright morning when this life on Earth is over I will get to witness you in heaven and hopefully hear your voice face to face. REST IN PEACE to one of the greatest performers to step on this Planet🙏🏾❤️💛💚

[@xderen_xd]

Jah bless, thank you for getting me noticed about his name. I got shocked when I heard him but I didn't know his name so thank you and I hope that Sugar Minott is in the presence of the Most High JAH RASTAFARI

Nothing like staying up all night for 5 days straight watching one great act after another, year after year. Thank you and RIP to Tony Johnson and Synergy for these blessings!

[@jimmarshall5453]

You got that right, even when it was 6 days. Do you have the reggae Sunsplash BOOK? It's great and I have it listed on ebay.

[@jimmarshall5453]

The Reggae Sunsplash book lists every performer of every night of every show and also is loaded with photos. I sell author signed new copies.

[@brownyedgrl]

All Reggae Sunsplash shows started around 7pm and went through till the next morning. I used to fall asleep standing up.

[@ncbeachbum7222]

Wow, thanks! I remember watching this on a local PBS station back in the day. Kept trying to find that first song that's always stuck with me. This is solid stuff.

I wonder why Chalice didn't become the big band in west. Looks decent roots band.

[@jamaicasaurus342]

A lot of younger people will see a video like this and think that image quality in TV and video used to be really low resolution, but it's only because the original film was transferred to a VHS tape. If you saw it broadcast on TV, it would have good resolution. Anyway, just something to put out there in case you weren't alive in the 80's and thought that was the case. But as for the music, well this was a great time in Jamaican music (the early 80's) when it was the Rub-a-dub era.

@0:21 the trumpet player blows his part and plays one quarter note pop too early and the trombone player just loses his shit, its hilarious to me because Ive done that same thing. Played a note just one measurable amount too early and had band members give me the side eye. Ah yes, what a great introduction. This gonna be a good one!
