BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS • LIVE! • New Vinyl

Live! is a 1975 album by Bob Marley & The Wailers which was recorded live in concert at the Lyceum Theatre, London. No Woman, No Cry from the LP was released as a single. The album was recorded 18 July 1975 during the second of the band's two concerts after Chris Blackwell had noted the audience's reaction during the first concert the day before on the 16th. The performance was recorded using the Rolling Stones' Mobile Studio. Production of the album was credited to Bob Marley & The Wailers, Steve Smith and Chris Blackwell. Following the success of his first major crossover album, Catch A Fire, Bob Marley had easily coped with the loss of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer with his first album as Bob Marley And The Wailers, Natty Dread. Recorded on the final leg of that album's promotional tour in the UK this seminal live document captures almost exactly the point where both roots reggae and Rastafarianism finally entered popular culture.
