Reggae’s greatest ambassador, a Jamaican national hero and one of the biggest icons of the 20th century, would have been 70 this year and as part of the year-long celebrations to commemorate this fact, "Easy Skanking Boston 78" was released fresh from the vaults earlier February the first in a series of new releases set for 2015.
Recorded over two shows at Boston's Music Hall on June 8th 1978, these performances are now available for the very first time as a Blu-ray/CD pack, a DVD/CD pack (this case) and also as a lone 13-track CD. To add to the ‘rawness’ of the experience, the video footage was shot with a handheld camera by a fan who, amazingly, had been granted permission from Bob himself to sit in front of the stage.
The Legendary Backing Band The Wailers are tight as ever on this superb Show.
Another Unmisseble release from the King eternal's repertoire.
