Bob Marley is one of the world greatest legends, he's music is so deep, that impacted in all cultures..

Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The beginning of legends

This song… This Version of this song.. Is ABSOLUTELY KILLER!! I watch that old grey whistle version multiple times a week. Nothing about it gets old.. it’s as mesmerizing every single mf time. The depth of Bobs vocals.. the harmonies.. All the nuances happening, and the Complete FLAWLESSNESS of the Performance! It’s AIR TIGHT from beginning to end. Absolute goats! Pure Magic ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’ll probably sing some Bob soon and post. Thanks for this video, your boy sent you the track of tracks 🙌🏽

Only one who can feel music understands it listening to music is not the same as feeling it. Every cord touches my very soul

Hands down one of the best vocal arrangements of all time. The studio version and later live guitar solos are on a whole other level as well. This song reigns supreme with fire and fury.

Catch a Fire is criminally underrated compared to other Marley albums. Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Bob were so sympatico with each other along with Aston and Carlton Barrett. 400 Years is another classic!

My favorite Marley/Wailers album definitely. I like the way it was recorded too. That original Wailers sound with Bunny and Peter was hard to beat. There’s a couple good live shows released from that era. Talkin’ Blues (the album) and the Burnin’ deluxe edition has Live at Leeds Polytechnic in 1973. Guessing it’s the same tour as this performance from the BBC.

I was lucky to catch the band twice, but in the post Tosh and Bunny Wailer incarnation, with Marcia Griffiths,Judy Mowatt, and Rita Marley (The I-Threes) on vocals. THE Rock solid groove. And Marley made every soul feel like they were in the presence of a prophet. And that there was hope.

What about the BARRETT Brothers, the ULTIMATE Bass & Drum Geniuses... so forgotten but never matched or surpassed in this genre. They were Reggae Funk Soul Groovers for which some of us will be forever in debt. Tosh, Bob and all the gang are Legends. Jah Lives On ! :D

Not a member or ex member but lets not forget the amazing guitar solo in the actual Catch a Fire recording of Concrete Jungle by Wayne Perkins (arguably the best guitarist to ever come out of Alabama). Catch a Fire is an immortal body of work. Brap, brap !!!!

Here: take my like. You've gotten what makes me love Reggae Music. The minor details, the little arrangements

Best band of all time! Show me a band that is tighter and this soulful at the same time

What an amazing performance.

The original band, with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The best version.

you are amazing, man. Yes.... you feel the music....

the live interplay of the early lineup is one of the most incredible musical things you'll ever hear

Uncle Bob , MJ and Elvis surely must be the most recognisable people on earth ❤

Dude! Love your enthusiasm for this. And what a session that was. The Old Grey Whistle Test was legendary in the 70s. Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Just raw live takes, recorded for posterity.

Finally I’m at the right place! I love the music to my bone , every part of my body responds naturally to this music mann!!

Dear Sir I just love your joy in this song. I have always felt that way about these gray whistle recordings. Utterly simple, utter virtuosity. You can really hear it in these more simple set ups. And like you say, so much going on with the back up vocals in counter rhythm to the lead vocals, all the while playing in perfect time. Oh my. Of course it goes without saying fantastic songwriting and singing also. Thank you for an education in Subtlety…

This is a great version, but the version on "Babylon By Bus" has one of my all time favorite guitar solos of all time. It's ALL TIME!!!

Aos 14 anos de idade conheci as lendas Bob, Peter e Alpha.

This is a master piece is poss my fav

This channel is awesome. So glad I found it. When I was learning guitar it would've been so helpful!

Probably my most favored Wailers song. At least since I got 'Catch a Fire - Deluxe Edition' with one CD in the original Jamaican mix version, the other remixed in England and released for the world. The original one so much better.

Thank you teacher for this presentation. Greetings from Thessaloniki Greece.

The first time i heard this song was in GTA IV and love it right away

These men have left so much with us, both together as a band and as individuals. Bunny wailer is now gone too but that song he wrote "Electric Bogie" says a lot about is other talents.

Catch a Fire!!!!!!!! the top 5 best reggae album of all time

I love reggae. I bought a similar marley guitar (acoustic electric) in college n never learned how to play the guitar😅😅😅im jealous of you

You did this song too! Holy hell man keep hitting my favorites!

Being raised in the UK I remember The Old Grey Whistle Test well. I remember this Bob and the Wailers performance. Wasn't sure who or what I was watching at the time as they had just broken through, buy I knew they were something special. I had always been into Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae, buy they were something really different. Here I am 51 years later and this song still moves me to my very core. Just everything I want from a piece of music.

The other member doing harmony is bunny wailer

Love your breakdowns brother!

Mike I must say your analysis of Concrete Jungle is truly marvellous as I have also been moved by the varied arrangements of this song and to listen to it with quality head phones is just mind blowing - truly a great song 💯⛷

Love this tune. Check out the Babylon by Bus version, collectively one of the best live reggae albums of all time. Cheers!

It was a session musician who did the guitar solo on this There was a great bit bout it on the classic albums ep on this album when he came out of the both after recoding it he said Bob Marley just smiled and handed him a big spliff.

Correct 👍

It was acknowledged by Bunny and obvious when watching Peter that this isn’t live. The E- turnaround, for example, isn’t played by Peter or Bunny, which is a good indication. Also, those lead lines were played via overdubs by Wayne Perkins at the suggestion of Chris Blackwell.

Peter tosh is super

I played in the Broadmoor Ballroom in 1983. With my band.. STATE CHAMPS FCHS 1984

Its Bunny Wailer singing back up with Peter Tosh.

Coming in from the cold, I think would be an eye opening experiment for us all!!

Thank you for this one!

Yep u r so right. Such a band constantly moving the arrangements 😍

Also was Bob's birthday 2 days ago

In this ya concrete jungle of New York got to get myself up from the ground by working into the 70s.

Wow!! Good vibes 🤙🏾💯 cheeehhuuu

Peters solo near the end is one of the best ever. Its why I listen to this song. Edit: except you played over it!

Hey man I have been watching your channel for forever. I love just the pure emotion, how you just enjoy the music. I'm a lil bit of a country guy myself and I know you have a lot of requests but I was wondering if you could listen to one of three songs by one of my favorite bands? Either Good Lord Lorrie, The Funeral, or The Bird Hunters all of them are by Turnpike Troubadours.

il m'arrive souvent d'avoir le frisson la chair de poule et les larmes quand j'écoute cette version de concrète jungle péter bunny et bob à leurs sommet l'émotion est immense merci Michael

His birthday was Feb 6th, so you were close to honoring his birthday!

Live American concert version is gold

You should have used the studio version of the album " Catch A Fire " with the very nice and sweet guitar solo by Wayne Perkins ( probably with a Les Paul ) and NOT this live version ( very similar tho ) with the organ solo !!?? For a guitar teacher that would be more interesting and also for us ... This live version was recorded on T.V in the U.K around 1973 before the release of the album " Catch A Fire " that same year ... We can see Bob Marley playing with a Strat here , maybe before starting using his Les Paul Studio that we see from '74 until his death in 1981 !

I've heard that old analog recordings made on tape reels tend to be out of pitch past the middle of the reel due to the difference in speed that happens as the tape passes through. CD's used to have designations like "AD" "ADAD" to indicate if the material was taken from analog to digital and/or how many times. That's why the keyboards are also off pitch. Something a radio DJ told me years ago.

This isn't a live recording. It's the studio version. They sang over the track for the show. Familyman talks in his book about how he would speed up the tape to give it a special sound. That's why it's a little sharp. I don't know why the guitar solo was removed and a clavi was overdubbed. You can hear it in the beginning of the track.
