Never been officially released... possibly broadcast in Jamaica back in the 1980's as a highlights show.

[two9parkave]

@bwoyrough The backing band seems to be Fab 5, I can see Franky playing the bass just behind Big Youth.

[MtaaniNairobi]

@two9parkave It's Definitely The FAB 5, Only old Skool east coast, US & Maybe Canada People might remember them lol. & They ain't the hiphop group either

[two9parkave]

[malcstag]

how cool is this, makes you weep man. blessed for posting

[MtaaniNairobi]

I recently got a Big Youth Concert audio in Chicago, 1981. All i can say i wow, backing band is the soul syndicate but on the recording they were dubbed as "The Ark Angels". Keith Sterling is amazing on the organ. Unfortunately he did not play this song, maybe it was after the tape ended.

[DajaWaja]

Gotta LOVE him!!
