NOTES:

This is an amazing Bob Marley recording. The original download of this recording ran slightly fast. This is the sidewindersf 2009 re-pitched version. All tracks on this version are now correct pitch. The repeated segment during the “yeah” from the crowd just before the drum intro to “Midnight Ravers” was removed. There is a strange sort of slight skip in “No Woman No Cry” during the vocal “Good Friends We Have” (specifically during the word “have”). This was not repairable without removing music and was not changed. This version was not EQ’d. The main difference from the original is that the speed is now correct and the show has been re-tracked with CD WAV. The pitch difference is slight, but musicians will notice.. Many thanks to the original uploader for sharing this must have show. Thanks to Bob Marley & The Wailers for their timeless music and constant inspiration.
