I'm off to the big smoke this weekend to see one of my favourite bands.
(Support acts pretty good too...)
Looking forward to it. :-)

    Now, I am jealous. Burning Spear!

    Who are Burning Spear?, asks Sam. 

    I’m playing Marcus Garvey to prove to her she does know who he is. She likes the album, but like most non-music fanatics, she didn’t really care who it is.

    I do think that is my favourite.
    I also like the dub version of it ('Garvey's Ghost').
    The albums have become a little more poppy / generic in recent decades imho, but he always has a good groove. :-)

    Yup. I have the two on one CD and tend to think of them as one album.
    I have some others, but tend to just play MG/GG.

    How was Mr Spear, Ben?
  • DocfosterDocfoster
    Bloomin marvelous! :-)
    Loved the venue.
    Support was high quality.
    Mr. Spear was absolutely iconic.
    I like live shows that do the favourites, but with creative embellishments and new sections. And that's what we got. :-D
    The 'Slavery Days' encore was brilliant.
