Nobody could ride a rhythm like Yellowman back in his prime... flawless flow.

[@JosephMBoyer]

amen

[@AzucaNegra16]

I was there in total awe. I had never heard of him and was getting ready to leave the concert. But some guy told me I would miss the Yellowman. So I stayed and it was well worth it.

[@daveepelone6221]

I first saw Yellowman in 1987 in a concert on the pier in New York City, he opened for Third World. You could tell this guy 'had it' the crowd was in the palm of his hand and he worked it like a fine machine. I bought a few of his albums and became an instant fan. About a year later on my first trip to Jamaica we were in Negril.The very first afternoon on the beach this guy with a megaphone comes up yelling 'Tonight mon, at Kaiser's on the cliff, the one and only 'King Yellowman' will be appearing live and direct mon, Live and Direct !' We couldn't believe it, first night in Jamaica and we're going to a Yellowman show just a few miles away ! Eddie Fitzroy opened the show and Yellowman didn't come on till after 1:00 AM, as things move in Jamaica time. My friend had a portable tape recorder and captured the show, I still have a copy of it, what a moment in time.

[@blackdecaymusic]

Dave Epelone Any chance of you sharing that copy (or at least a part of it)? Would be very grateful for it :)

[@Rosegarth72]

Wow- so Lucky! So even after his big cancer op he was still in top form....

[@imDezrt]

You're gonna give us that awesome story and make us hold out for the tape recording? We need a bootleg!

Yellowman Was The Best In His Prime!

[@DrMctwiddle]

I've only seen King Yellowman at 60+ years old. Still the highest energy performer if ever seen. High knees back and forth on the stage. Not missing a beat. when people have their cameras out, he puts his face right into the lens. Most underrated entertainer. Absolute legend. Long live King Yellowman!

[@danielfishburn7042]

I saw him a couple days ago. Dude was running around and doing push-ups through out the whole performance it was so sick

[@vance97]

This is one of the best stage performances ever

Those were the days when nursery rhymes lyrics were the order of the day. It was perhaps the most complex language used in those days...Today the Artists have gone way beyond that....but some how I like those days with its simple & catchy lyrics

Yellow man is the main reason I love reggae music. As a kid here in America I couldn’t stand it being my mom always played it, but yellow man is the main reason why I learned about my mothers island (Kingston 13) and culture background & gave me a reason to grow with & feel the reggae culture..
