[EDVM13]

"On his DVD Live at the Hollywood Bowl, artist Ben Harper relates a childhood experience in which, during a 1978 Bob Marley concert at the Starlight Amphitheater, Peter Tosh showed up unannounced as this song was being performed, took the microphone from Marley and started singing the last verse of the song to thunderous applause. Tosh was on tour opening for the Rolling Stones at the time"

Cool :-)

Babylon will only change its ways if enough people are seen to oppose them because it jeopardises their power. If their power is lost they lose their source of evil and cannot corrupt the human race as they plan (like the demons they are).

Babylon will only change their ways if enough people are seen to be in opposition because that will jepordise their position of power. If their power is lost they lose their source of evil and can't corrupt mankind no more. ONE LOVE.

greats reggae arts

[belisariusorb]

The debate about who is better, bob or peter, is sterile. They are yin and yang and together form the heart of reggae

WORD SOUND N POWER!!!!!!!!

[kaylylyn]

He's great.

But i wouldn't say, he's better than Bob.

Both of them are great-.

Er ist wunderbar.

Aber ich würde nich sagen, dass er besser als Bobi is.

Beide waren (und sind es immer noch) fantastisch.

Es ist und bleibt die beste Musik, die es gibt.

Also wäre es falsch von gut und schlecht, besser zu reden.

Beide haben geliebt was sie machen ♥

[KingMellow11]

@kaylylyn I'd say Peter was better than Bob. Not taking anything from Bob for Bob held his own, But if I was going to decide who to see, I'd see Tosh all the way. Because when I check out their live concerts, Bob would sound exactly like the album. Tosh would be totally different from his album versions. I like that. Tosh shows would be slamming!!! I'm glad I got to see Tosh live and (Live-rect) back in 83.

[sharprazor16]

probably the keyboards are by robert lynn and keith sterling

[BIGBOUTYAH]

You're correct with all the band members. Word, Sound and Power band.

[ecureuildesalm]

superbe !! ce mec a été assassiné...quelle perte !! a quand un remplaçant digne de ce nom ?

[birimbau2010]

the king

[DeepSlip]

my guess is that,people like this version better,cos they have been listening to bob's for a long time and they got bored,right?

both are good.i agree that tosh is more 'agresive' when singing.

[sparks199]

No, Tosh's version is just better, to me at least

[2401sigurd]

In the original recording by the Wailling Wailers - Peter Tosh sung lead on this song backed by Robert nesta marley and Bunny Wailer. But Bob Marley wrote it and it was later on The Album LIVE with him and "the new Wailers" in 75

[KingMellow11]

[zimmiesgirl]

While Bob Marley is often remembered as the Rasta of Love, Peter Tosh must be revered as the great Rasta Messenger who spoke truth to power & who lived his message, unflinching, uncompromising, even as he was brutalized, even as he was murdered.

That Peter had a keen sense of humor can be seen in two 'Tube videos where Mick Jagger sings DON'T LOOK BACK with Peter (who HAD to be thinking how WACKED Jagger was ;)

"Peace is the diploma you get in the cemetery." Peter Tosh

RIP, Mystic Man

[paska4]

Bob's version is too lame.Marley could only sing love songs.Peter was more agressive and revolutionary.

[21jasonh]

i agree wid you

[perliu]

Emperor

[radicaljungle]

Tosh was the real King of Reggae

[camu1]

[SoccerguyJoe]

The best version of this tune is the one where Bob and Peter both sing ..from the 'Talkin Blues' album ..check it out!

[SoulFlower69]

Tosh's VERSION is Better than Marley's..HANDS DOWN!!! Both GREAT MEN, and BOTH STILL NEEDED IN THE STRUGGLE!

[minismallz1219]

no bob's version is way better it has more feel

[Nixfi]

Excellent! Best version I've seen yet.

[LucasNeguinho]

Peter Tosh is awesome.His version of Get up Stand up is better than Bob Marley's version for me.

[ckd1]

I have always liked Tosh's version better.

[glazik]

Same here.
