I saw Bob Marley and he totally rocked the house. I’ve also seen Led Zeppelin. Sometimes they were great and on their game and other times they were sloppy and perhaps on something that wasn’t their game.

I did get to see the Wailers and they were incredible but obviously Bob is a force and those 73 arrangements still had Peter Tosh too
My husband saw Bob Marley and talks about his band being the tightest he'd ever seen.
