Summary of Bob Marley: Catch A Fire (Special Edition)
This unique 2 disc collection provides an indispensable record of the great man's life and work. As we follow Marley from the clubs and bars of Jamaica to worldwide superstardom, we hear the memories and recollections of those who knew him best, including his wife Rita, his son Ziggy and many, many more. Alongside the thoughts of a team of music industry figures is the lasting testimony to Marley's greatness - his music. Featured songs include classics such as No Woman No Cry, Is This Love, Could You Be Loved, Stir It Up, I Shot The Sheriff, Waiting In Vain, Redemption Song and many more.In the late '60s, the notion that reggae would become more than just a novelty act would have been laughed at. To break into the mainstream, the movement needed a powerful voice of prophetic proportions. This voice emerged from the collective work of three pioneering friends from Jamaica, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Robert Nesta Marley, who sought to bring about an ideological revolution through deeply meditative, hypnotic, and spiritual music. Catch a Fire was the Wailers' and reggae's introduction to the world and turned Bob Marley into a mega-icon of enormous proportions. It was the first album to remain true to the traditions of reggae music while having enough elements that were accessible to popular culture.
This documentary, Bob Marley and the Wailers: Catch a Fire, returns to Dynamic Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, shedding light on the development of the album, the thought process of Bob, Peter, and Bunny, and the importance of the music on a song-by-song basis. The story of Catch a Fire is presented through interviews with the band members, studio musicians, and former head of Island Records Chris Blackwell. Throughout are raw studio rehearsal footage, BBC TV footage, and home movies that include performances of "Concrete Jungle," "Slave Driver," "Stir It Up," and "Stop That Train." The documentary wraps up with rare black-and-white footage of the Wailers' tour in Edmonton, London, in 1973 with an electrifying performance of the Burnin' song "Get Up, Stand Up." --Rob Bracco
