Live At Rockpalast Essen 1981 (2016)

Only a few months after the death of Bob Marley, Rockpalast presented a reggae act in the Grugahalle in Essen for the very first time, a statement against the opinion that reggae was in the final stages. Black Uhuru was selected; the most innovative that Jamaica had to offer apart from dancehall which was gaining more and more momentum. Sly Dunbars varied drum patterns, Robbie Schakespeares bass drive, the straight offbeat and Thompsons warped guitar licks were a combination that never had been heard like this in reggae before, a hypnotic wall of sound as basis for the revolutionary Rastafarian lyrics of Michael Rose, Puma Jones and Duckie Simpson, now and then interrupted by surprising echo effects. After their performance at Rockpalast, Black Uhuru enjoyed worldwide success.(bron: MIG)\n"Uiterst energieke show. Niet in de laatste plaats dankzij de opzwepende frontman Michael Rose. Fijne liveregistratie!" (Stefan Sjoers, Lust For Life; 4 uit 5 sterren)
