Reggae Live Albums
I developed my taste for and knowledge of reggae from listening to the late night John Peel radio show when I was a teenager.
I’m very much stuck in the 1975 to 1978 phase of reggae which coincides with when Bob Marley cracked the British market.

Babylon By Bus is the second live album by Bob Marley & The Wailers, mainly recorded in Paris in June 1978 on the Kaya tour.
Live is a live album by Bob Marley & The Wailers recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in London on 18 July and 19 July 1975.
There have been rumours that this classic live album will receive a big make-over with the complete concerts issued. That sounds good because Live is too short!
It is one of the albums that helped him crossover from being a specialised reggae artist to a worldwide star with a much broader rock & pop audience.
