Dubwise Garage/Bob Marley Concerts

Linton Kwesi Johnson w/ Dennis Bovell Dub Band – Sep. 27, 1981 Stockholm, Sweden Full Show

Dubwise Garage Blog — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:01:48 +0000

I am a big fan of Linton Kwesi Johnson. His Dread Beat and Blood was one of the most played piece of vinyl on my turntable back in the mid 80′s. This show from Stockholm captures Linton in his prime with the Dennis Bovell Dub Band. It was broadcast on the radio and I give thanks to those document and share rare unreleased roots like this show.

Israel Vibration – Roslyn, In my Father’s House, NY Oct. 10th 1979 Great Pre80′s Live Reggae

Dubwise Garage Blog — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:35:42 +0000

Today’s special is one of the oldest recording of the great roots harmony group Israel Vibration. To me I-Vibes are only the original trio, they might still carry on with the name but nothing compares to the beautiful sound the group in their hay-day with the original three members Wise, Apple, and Skully. Enjoy this rare treat, I think there is only one other Israel Vibration show from 1979 and that is from Sunplash in Jamaica.

Bob Marley & The Wailers – April 13th 1979 Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan Rare Recording

Dubwise Garage Blog — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 23:20:22 +0000

Bob Marley & The Wailers

1979.04.13. Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan

This show has the most clapping I have ever heard during any concert, so I asked a Japanese friend if he could give me some insight. I talked with Hideki Nakagawa who explained to me that since the Japanese can’t sing along with the songs since they don’t understand English well, they “clap to convey the feelings of us from start to end.” Hideki also had this to say about this particular show. “I am hearing this show now and it is most amazing show of all Japan shows. The Crowd sing along with No Woman No Cry(Bob brings to sing and start sing) it is magic moment.
Junior said Japanese word at end of Jammin “Okini”.
That means “Thank you” in the words of Osaka Dialect,
usually “Arigato”.”

Audience Recording. Fairly Good Quality. One of the lesser circulated dates from the April 1979 tour of Japan. For the more serious collectors that like to have history preserved in its best quality, I have provided lossless FLAC files and for most are MP3 files, just click on the song title to play or left click and save as to download.

02 – Concrete jungle
03 – Them belly full
04 – The heathen

Peter Tosh – Live Acoustic and Interview Session KZEL Radio Studio, Eugene, OR

Peter Tosh – Unplugged

For those that have visited my blog. I am not a big writer. I have a very busy life and focus my posts on sharing rare music. Today is a special musical treat from the Bush Doctor Peter Tosh. Live and chilling in the studio this gives a great glimpse into the intimate kind person Peter was, very warm, funny, and friendly.

Back in 1977 Peter Tosh did a tour of the USA. Along the tour, Peter stopped a various radio stations to help promote his music and tour. One such occasion was at KZEL radio station in Eugene, OR. A few tracks from this session were released on the official Talking Revolution CD. I try not to share official material, Peter Tosh fans should buy all official releases and support his estate. Many thanks to Roger Steffens for this gem.

Most Blogged Bootleg Ever? The Clash at Bonds 1981 Soundboard

Dubwise Garage Blog — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:14:54 +0000

I love The Clash, I was lucky to see them perform as a youth and that show made a lasting impression on my musical life’s journey. Having shared all the Bonds shows on DIME a few years back, I thought I would revisit the best quality recording of the Bonds run. Not know as their best performance of the series of shows, but many of those recordings were below average audience captures. This is the one I listen to most. Below is info on the Bonds run from WIki. You can also follow the link to my site to download the lossless FLAC files from the show.

The Clash played a series of 17 concerts at Bond’s International Casino in New York City in May and June 1981 in support of their album Sandinista!. Due to their wide publicity, the concerts became an important moment in the history of the band. Some of the nights were professionally recorded either for CBS records or for FM broadcast. The 9 June performance appears on countless bootleg records and several songs have appeared on From Here to Eternity: Live or other official Clash releases.

The site of the concerts was formerly Bonds department store which had been converted into a large second-floor hall. Promoters kept the name because there was a large Bonds sign on the outside of the building. As The Clash had not yet broken out into mass popularity, eight shows were originally scheduled: May 28, 29, 30, 31 and June 1, 2, 3, and 5, 1981. However, given the venue’s legal capacity limit of 3500, the series was blatantly oversold right from the first night, leading fire marshals for the New York Fire Department to cancel the Saturday, May 30 performance. In response, the band condemned the brazen greed of the promoters while demonstrating unprecedented integrity to each and every ticketholder by doubling the original booking with a total of 17 dates extending through June.

Strict interpretation of the fire laws meant that audiences were relatively small and resulting in a sense of intimacy between the band and the audience. Audience members clambered onto the stage to join in singalongs. New York musicians, including Pearl Harbor, assisted and overseen by Andy Dunkley, provided disc jockey services as the audience entered and gathered.
The concert captures The Clash on the cusp between being a cult band and their short-lived major market penetration. As always with The Clash, ticket prices were set relatively low.
