Live At Leeds (1973/2004)
Officially Released 1973 Live Set
Outstanding. An early glimpse of The Wailers at work, before the accolades and before Bob Marley became the iconic, worldwide symbol of reggae. Recorded November 23, 1973, just before Peter Tosh would bolt The Wailers for his own solo career, and just after Bunny Wailer already did. You can immediately tell how early this is by the Leeds’ audience reaction, which is welcoming, but comparatively laid back. You can’t blame the spirited performances. This is one of the better live examples of the nascent, modern Wailers available, before the hits and before they felt they were compelled to perform “I Shot The Sheriff,” from Burnin‘, Marley’s second LP for Island Records, which they were touring behind here. Actually, this download comes from the second disc of the Deluxe Edition of Burnin‘. We’ve concocted a cover, however, since posting the original one might have confused the issue.

Thank you!
Superb. Thanks, Capt.
Willard,
Jeez Louise- what a string of 1st rate posts (Tal, JB, incredible The Move box & now this!). Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Are you ever going to post a picture of yourself not half-submerged in water? Maybe in your home town & not in the swamps of Vietnam? I'm sure everyone is very curious to see the man behind the magic- I know I am.
As is the RIAA. Thanks for the kind words.

Captain Willard,
Whoops- sorry, I forgot that you must maintain your secret identity…just like a super hero, which I guess you are in a way.
The Marley sounds fantastic.

I am Willard!
Thanks very much! This is a wonderful gift for those who don't want to rebuy burnin' again!!!!
I saw The Wailers for the first time on the tour before this, which must have been in February. They were supporting The Wild Angels and it was the tour they cancelled because it snowed and they thought that it was a sign from Jah. Good gig. Thanks very much.
You are really in Turbo-Drive now Cap'n ! Fantastic post I know it will be.. LOVE the mock up sleeve -sure confused me for a few seconds
… And I thought the picture WAS you- doh!!!!!!!How about a revolving gallery of idents????!!!

We're envious, Dave. Thanks for all the comments.
Hi.
First of all thank such jem.
This album is a 2nd disc of Burnin' (Deluxe Edition), right?
Wow! thank again.
As stated.
I'm still Willard!
This disc is also important & great because at this early stage Bob & Peter were 'equals' in the band as evidenced by how many songs Peter either sings lead on or shares lead vocals with Bob! Classic performance in amazing sound quality, Thanks again, Capt. W.!!
I actually live in Leeds!
And to my eternal shame I missed both `The Who` and `Bob Marley` I was also told that Van Morrison was performing at a small club in the city…and i did not believe it….so i missed him as well….DoH!
Thanks
Love this "album" cover.
Screw this. I'm tired of being Willard. You're on your own, bud.
Thanks for all the Bob! Great stuff!
I was at this gig with about 100 others in what was Leeds Polytechnic.
My finest hour – life has been all downhill since.
Muito lhe agradeço pelas grandes
postagens em seu BLOG, são muitas
raridades…
Meus parabens e
Muito Obrigado (Thank You)
one of the best contemporanean musicians, also the wailers teached how to race this art
I never got the chance to see thw Wailers play live, but it’s a treat to hear them with Peter Tosh still on board. Thanks for giving us the chance.
I never saw them with Tosh either, but I did catch them once in ’78 (I think) or ’79. Front row… and for the encore, the band came out with joints so huge the first 5 rows got a contact high. Amazing show. Thanks for commenting.
Back in ’73 I wasn’t into Marley & The Wailers. What was I thinking?! Thanks for all the re-ups. Your hard work is appreciated!
