Rare Grateful Dead "Stir It Up" Live Bob Marley Cover 3-26-1988

The Grateful Dead only tried this once with lyrics - on 26 March 1988. They abandoned it pretty quickly - it sounds to me as if Bob Weir sings what there is of the "verse", perhaps because Jerry wouldn't didn't.


Stir it up

Stir it up, little darling
Stir it up, oh yeah
Stir it up, little darling
Stir it up

Since I had you on my mind
It's been a long, long time
I got you, now I got you

Come on and
Stir it up, little darling
Stir it up
Stir it up, little darling
Stir it up



"Stir It Up" is a song composed by Bob Marley in 1967, and first made popular by Johnny Nash, peaking on the UK chart in June 1972.

When Bob Marley returned to Jamaica from the United States in 1967, The Wailers started their own label, Wail'n Soul'm records, and released their first independent single "Freedom Time" backed with "Bend Down Low." "Nice Time," "Hypocrites," "Mellow Mood," "Thank You Lord," and "Stir It Up" are all recorded in the same year.

The label folded shortly after and Marley began writing for American singer Johnny Nash. On Nash's I Can See Clearly Now album, he used members of The Wailers and recorded several Marley songs: "Stir It Up," the follow-up single, "Comma Comma," "Guava Jelly," and the Nash/Marley co-written ballad, "You Poured Sugar on Me." The track "(It Was) So Nice While It Lasted" received radio play.

"Stir It Up" was Bob Marley's first successful song outside Jamaica. Another song written by Bob Marley, "I Shot The Sheriff", was made a hit by Eric Clapton in 1974. Marley's first "own" international hit would be "No Woman No Cry," the live version from the Bob Marley and the Wailers Live! album in 1975. One distinction particular to this song, is that the single version (from the 45 rpm original hit release) has never been made available on CD. It includes several audio tracks that are not on the album version (eg. the prominent wooden guiro percussion), and some recorded at different levels (brass and strings in particular), which give the song a more powerful and authentic sound, as it was the version played on the radio during the time the song was a hit, and for many years thereafter, until the CD version was released.

@LochnessLakeMonster

"In December 1976, two days before "Smile Jamaica", a free concert organized by the Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley in an attempt to ease tension between two warring political groups, Marley, his wife, and manager Don Taylor were wounded in an assault by unknown gunmen inside Marley's home."

Marley WAS shot. Never said it killed him. Hence the line, "They tried to keep me down, but Jah want I around." Sometimes people on the net actually DO know a thing or two...

@freezerburningman Sorry dude... Bob Marley wasn't shot he died of Cancer.
