Movie Reviews of Bob Marley and the Wailers Live at the Rainbow
Movie Review: The best Bob Marley DVD...
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this DVD playing on a 60-inch TV while I was shopping one day. I was impressed with the quality and asked the salesman to show me the DVD (not the TV). This video looks and sounds great on a large screen!
If you are a Marley fan this is his ultimate concert video!
Movie Review: Second Best Live Reggae Recording...
Summary: 5 Stars
...and the best one on video! And the best recorded and mastered sound.
This film shows how important the rhythm section of Aston and Carlton Barrett were to Marley's group. Carlton plays a hyperkinetic style of one-drop, a style that went on to shape all of reggae and other 80s pop sounds. The songs here are nearly the same as on the audio release, but none of them are from the same evening/same takes. This may be an earlier show. It seems that they are not quite as polished, and the crowd isn't quite as pumped up as on the album version.
But what a constant, sweet groove they get into! Just a non-stop, pulsing groove, and the sound is excellent, re-mastered to DTS multi-channel format by Abbey Road. (I am a bit behind the times, but DTS is the only really good multi-channel format that I've yet heard).
We also see that Bob wasn't much of a guitar player, more of a singer/songwriter. He plays only the rhythm "cha-chick". The lead ax is in the hands of Junior Mervin I think, who has great fun playing blues licks next to Marley's gyrations, although Junior seems a bit loopy at times. The I-Threes are crucially important, as is Tyrone Downie on keyboards.
A sweet band at the height of their powers.
