Bob Marley and the Wailers Live in New Zealand

[goosoid]

AWESOME!!! I would give my left nut to have been at that concert! I assume this is Auckland? My only concern is, it being 1977 in New Zealand and a Bob Marley concert, I am worried that people might have been consuming cannabis. Do you think that is a possibility?

[MaxwellBennett]

@goosoid so

[maorimon1]

It cost $10 them days.We jumped the fence hehe.Every gang in the country was there with no hassles as far as i know.Beautiful day great music.good memories.He died 2 years later.One love Bob

[tui198]

[jerseyjamrock]

Thanks for posting this. It's so great. Nice to have something different.

[emperorrocker]

Brilliant footage. Where is the rest of it??? Somebody must have it.

[JahBrothers]

Wow,I was there too.15 yrs old and my first big concert.Have never forgotten the feeling that generated there and have never felt that again.Have been to many concerts over the years but everything else fails in comparison.You will always be the greatest artist and prophet of my time..R.I.P bob lives on in us all...

[stonechater]

People in NZ should try find this video at local TV station archive, and post it for us other.

[Finnpr1]

my dad 1:03

[101slaya]

this gig was at western springs

[jaedu860212]

Is it me or Junior Marvin ALWAYS wanted to figure in each and every Bob's concert?

[stonechater]

@jaedu860212

That's why Bob liked Junior and kept him in the band, he could do some stage work for Bob so he didnt need to "run" around all the time.

[rastatalk56]

is that the first song from the concert

[stonechater]

@rastatalk56

The first song was Positive Vibration, but I dont know more. Lively Up Yourself was probably in the middle. I would guess the setlist was much a like the ones in Japan, maybe a bit longer.

[suprewa]

lol can see the big black power banner up the front

[trittyboi]

Lol lots of J's goin round

[juniort66]

what year was this?

[magnusrey]

maybe 1979

[jaedu860212]

@juniort66 1979... Survival Tour...

[juniort66]

@jaedu860212 I saw this tour in Montreal at the Forum...I was 13.......

[stonechater]

@jaedu860212

Actually Babylon By Bus Tour April-May 1979

Survival Tour started in October 1979

[jaedu860212]

@stonechater That was right... I certainly forgot that detail for that... Thanks and One Love!!!

[javier5763]

wow!!!!!!!!

[ashtonriley7]

I was there for this concert I was the big age of 13 and got shouted in by a black power member and his family. They were awesome, the concert was awesome. Watching this vid brings back memories, I remember every now and then they would lift the tarp that we standing under and there would be this big cloud of smoke..(of the illegal kind)...lol

[mcnowski]

I just wanted to say that the paraphrased info regarding this video is written with a right wing nationilistic slant. Marley was a feared man who represented not just Jamaica, but the plight of the human spirit, unshackling itself form the dark age of materialism and helping humanity lift itself into the promised golden age. As Blake said, "Oh Earth Oh Earth return". There is so much flouride in the water nowdays, no one can see it anymore.

[tonycaribbian]

was the black power and mongrals at peace then?

[ashtonriley7]

I think back then everyone was at peace...lol..well for that day anyway, I was 13 when I went and I remember seeing the head hunters, storm troopers, filthy few and highway 61's as well as the ones you mentioned, there were most probably other there but they were the ones I saw.

Just thinking about it, it was the one love tour so I guess for that day everyone in that stadium had one love to see Bob Marley and the Wailers

[LenaHard]

Far out my mum was at this concert!i was only 3yrs old then, wish i hada been old enough 2 go...what a once in a lifetime experience that would have been!good on ya mum!!! Long live the King!

[kazooka2002]

yeah someone used to have a clear vision here on youtube, i don't know why they took it off.

[kamira11]

I was there at western springs, my brother paid for me to go and took me with his mates, it was my very first live concert. I was 16/17. We walked (about 3 hours I think) carrying a portable cassette player (later they were called boom boxes) with a ton of batteries in it to keep it going. The radio, hauraki or zfm probably, played back to back Bob Marley all day. Brings tears to my eyes to watch this vid. He already had cancer and not long after he was gone. Love our Uncle Bob ...

[SandoTrini]

Love that story......One love

[KingRhaul]

loooove the drumming here

[AliPeachy1]

Wow, would have been amazing to have been there(I was two in '79) I just saw the Wailers play in New Zealand last night! ..A Magical experience, and I think Bob was there in spirit :)

[hand22]

lol 1:30 now thats a fatty

[Vvnilreggae]

Loving this clip, Was only one when Brother Bob toured, but still the Rythm hit I

Maori can fully understand his music, with much the same downdperssion In Aotearoa ( New Zealand)

Thoses wanting to hear Moari covers of Bob Marley Ruia & Rani Waiata o Bob Marley, Much love and respect Brother Bob.

Forever greatful of your message

[SandoTrini]

What is the maori? I saw he recieved a special welcome from them when he arrived in '79

[ashtonriley7]

Maori's are the original people of Aotearoa (New Zealand)

[SandoTrini]

Oh thanks, do they still have a society? Do they still exist?

[ashtonriley7]

Most definitely do the Maori's exist....lol. As far as I know there are no more full blooded Maori's but the bloodline is still there and if anything more stronger and wiser than ever before. It has been said that the Maori are the leaders for all dark races throughout the world....why? well if you find the answer to that let me know...lol...cheers

[SandoTrini]

Yea man thanks I looked them up on Wikipedia. One Love

[TuffGong45]

I was unluky because I born in 79 but I'm really luky because Marley is still live in my heart...

[rootsmanculture]

[ratutevita]

[Vashtiana]

@ratutevita ..I was there...front row...watching the joints being thrown up on the stage and the female singers picking them up...YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!

[Vashtiana]

@ratutevita ...well I was there...front row...watching all the joints being thrown on stage and the female singers picking them up...LOL

[PoeticFeeTLadyJ]

[imlil76]

I'm Moroccan but I know that Newzealanders love so much Bobby..

We all love you Bob..

[JuniorT695]

HEY I WASNT THERE TOO......LOLZ

[dreadadread83]

transcendantal experience

[ruakaka]

At that concert Bob Marley achieved what no one else good and that was getting the gangs to take off their colours and be as one. New Zealanders are the biggest buyers of Bob Marley and reggae music outside of Jamaica. The man is a national icon and it is divine intervention that New Zealands national holiday is the same day as Bob Marley's birthday. Bob himself said that the Maori welcome he got in New Zealand was one of the most amazing experiences in his life. Bob you will always be loved

[riachall]

Tautoko e hoa! NZ'ers are the biggest reggae buyers outside of Jamaica...and I so agree with you re: Bob born on Waitangi Day! I celebrate our nation but I celebrate the birth of the greatest performer and lyricist of our time! May Bob's music live on forever and ever AMINE!

[amerkiwi]

Hey- I was there too- I think I was 18 years old- loved Bob Marley- bought a ticket and went by myself- trying to see myself in this video! Fabulous concert I remember the sunset and the I-Three girls standing there gazing dreamily out to the sunset

[JahLionDread]

It's a shame that this great video is not complete,because the end of the song is missing.

[kiwiinmelb]

I was at this concert, cant remember exactly how old I was, still at high school though, it seemed like everyone went, the amount of kiwis I have met since, around my age, that also claim to have been there is amazing.

Took it for granted at the time, not really realising what a special moment it was.

Smoked alot of weed that day, we all did, a special memory now, seeing Bob live, Kapai !!!

[tpania]

I remember working with my mates 18yo I was. One of them goes want to go to a concert. I go yeh. So I go and there was a haze and funny smell the whole time. I wander around and everyone was like bouncin & jiggin to Uncle Bob. Mean mean mean

[bzy1234567]

LOL @ the dude passing the dutchy 2 the left hand side :)....KA PAI FROM NEW ZEALAND

[CiscoNast]

New Zealand is a dope place compared to USA

[EleegoAyleeN]

You got that right! I left NZ when I was 10 years old in 1986, but I regret it!! I am moving back in December.

[adazsweet]

I was at this concert 9 going on 10. My whole family went - Mum & Dad were in the Maori Culture group Manawanui who welcomed Bob into New Zealand - the group received 40 free tickets. I wasn't even into reggae at the time - to young but a few years later I had a huge Bob Marley revelation

[colinmc1000000000000]

wheres the rest of this concert where can i get it

[ddelinquent]

give thanks for posting this clip. i was at this concert and it was sweet! it was held on a really muddy easter sunday in 1979. it had been raining all weekend but the skies stayed dry that day. approx 22,000 people packed western springs for the gig. i went alone and managed to follow the black power guys (with the flag) to the front before the crowd closed behind them. primo spot centre front for a 15 year old schoolgirl - kiaora bros. Beautiful memories. Jah bless.
