(Part II) I don't mind if Bob and Peter etc. were black or half black or green or red, I like their music and their words, just like I like the "modern" reggae of SOJA. Maybe I'm a buddhist, not a rastafari, and neverthless I think that each of us (also Chinese people, also Latins and so on) must wake up and rebel against the system. Free Africa! Free Europe! Free Asia! Free One World!
There are also white people who have no lobby and no job and no money, so I intend the reggae message like an invitation to stand up and fight to ALL people of the world, especially to them who are oppressed and suffering. I personally am a f*ck** white guy but have always fought for the rights of those who have no voice, no power, I've always foufìght for the rights of my African, Asian and also European bros.
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! Thank you so much for uploading this. I used to own the video tape but lost it, but have been wanting it again forever because of that version of Stir It Up and those two haunting acoustic performances from Bunny. Had a hard time finding it again. THANK YOU SO MUCH! God this has made my morning. ugh! Thanks again lol.
Songs of Freedom compilation, or The JAD masters. probably on some other stuff, but your best bet for anything besides Songs of Freedom is Itunes. Otherwise you'd have to order a CD online for like thirty bucks. But Songs of Freedom has some other fantastic stuff on it, it's worth purchasing in its entirety.
"I don't have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don't dip on nobody's side. Me don't dip on the black man's side nor the white man's side. Me dip on God's side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white."
@AnonymousWhitePerson Bob Marley is not a white man you idiot stop spreading lies. Bob Marley considered himself a African which means he considered himself black you idiot. this same song catch a fire is talking about burning white slave master for what they did to black people on those slave ships. Bob put himself on those slave ships feeling the pain of his black brothers and sisters being tortured and whipped . now why would a white man want to be on a slave ship wanting to be whipped?
@AnonymousWhitePerson bob marley is not a white,man you idiot .stop spreading lies and he never called himself a white man dumb ass . he called himself a african are the true africans white ? no. so stop spreading lies
what BS this richard williams is spreading. no way. this man was honored among whites who also see/know/live surppression. knowing we are being cheated by the elite force.
My grandmother told me that back home in jamaica, when there was a fight during her days, kind of like a war between two areas, Bob would come around and get the two leaders of the posse together and convince them to make peace between one another and shake hands. She also said he'd hang around like an average person. He was humble and very beautiful inside & out. Lol She said that he had lots of ladies lol, if he came to her area he'd have like five girls at once lol .
I own this doc. on DVD. Damn neer worn it out.Makes you feel like you were there for this Groundbreaking album. Big ups and pass the dutchie BommbaKloots.
Yes! The same "Matrix" club that THE DOORS once played in,so I hear! I hailed him from the front of the crowd... And I was able to sneak backstage for a few minutes at THE ROXY (W.Hollywood,California) in 1975. Between 1990 and 2000 I became a music reviewer for DISCOVERIES and ROCK CITY NEWS Magazines,btw. Some have seen me in the music documentary MAYOR OF THE SUNSET STRIP. However,I hear that now (2008) he's being sued or something. Kind of sad.
Yes, Catch a Fire is a great album, as is their second on Island, Burnin'. Contrary to popular opinion here in America, those two albums were their artistic peak. Once Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left the group, the musical quality and edge were gone. Bob Marley was talented, no doubt, but people don't realize that The Wailers was a group, not just one man.
I agree with your view. Chris Blackwell destroyed the unity of the Wailers, by making Bob the focal point of the group. Peter and Bunny were too talented and strong to fall into the background. Yes Bob achieved fame and fortune. But it would of been nice to see what they could of achieved as a group.
Their harmonies were great. There was a definite fall in quality when the I Threes came on. It really bothers me that, especially now, people think that Bob IS reggae, and reggae IS Bob. I would have liked to have seen how their music would have grown... they were only getting started and that damn Chris Blackwell broke the group up. You won't get that perspective in all the books and things that come by way of Rita Marley. So many talented reggae groups out there and yet people only know Marley
Catch A Fire was the most important reggae record ever made. This album was pivotal, to exposing reggae to a world wide audience. Millie Small and Desmond Dekker had enjoyed international hits. Also Johnny Nash was singing and praising these reggae rhythms. But Catch A Fire exploded in our musical psyche. Bob,Peter,Bunny,& the Barrett Brothers were on a mission, to take reggae beyond novelty.
As great as Bob,Bunny,&Peter were individually; they were greater as a unit. I loved the IThrees, but the Wailers lost their edge. Many would fight you and I for saying Bob became commercial. There are so many that deserve acknowledgement in reggae.Who knows how crucial Joe Higgs and Lee Perry were to the Wailers? Burning Spear,Pablo Moses,Black Uhuru,Jimmy Cliff,Dennis Brown,Alton Ellis,Gregory Issacs Itals, The Congos, Wailing Souls, Congos, etc. are important. Bob was only one voice.
This was a wonderfull though somewhat sad documentary (cuz so many of the great ones have passed on) saw it in november...
Ironically (and in agreement w/ chris blackwell), I feel the original jamaican mix of the album is much better...it's on "catch a fire- deluxe edition"...
