Bob Marley & The Wailers to Revisit Classic 1976 shows on ‘Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon’

A classic Bob Marley & The Wailers run from 50 years ago will finally be officially released tomorrow via Tuff Gong/Island/UMe. Titled Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, the previously unissued 18-track live document will capture the reggae pioneers’ June 15-18, 1976, stand at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, which kicked off the second leg of their Rastaman Vibration tour.

According to the album announcement, “The prestigious booking was a risky move, with a ticket count five times of a usual Wailers show. They sold it out, and the group seized the moment with utter fire and precision, leaving reviewers grasping for words to describe what they’d witnessed. Bob’s time had come. The residency proved to be a watershed moment for the group. Two years earlier, within months of Eric Clapton taking ‘I Shot the Sheriff’ to No. 1 in the U.S., Marley had answered with Natty Dread (1974), his first major statement for a widening international audience. Live!, recorded at London’s Lyceum Theatre, delivered the breakthrough in late 1975, aided by the concert version of ‘No Woman, No Cry,’ which reached the U.K. Top 20 in early 1976. This growing momentum carried Marley into his celebrated June run at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. In the weeks that followed, Rastaman Vibration became his first U.S. Top 10 album.”

The set will arrive in multiple configurations, including as a 180-gram 2LP vinyl. It will also be available as an exclusive limited edition 2LP color vinyl and as a standard 2CD set, in addition to being released as digital download and streaming at all DSPs and, where available, an ATMOS mix for the full “you-are-there” concert experience.
