Bob Marley and the Wailers Live in New Zealand

Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not only through the music of his extended family but also through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius.

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?
