Movie Reviews of Bob Marley and the Wailers Live at the Rainbow
Movie Review: At last, on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though this concert is probably Bob Marley's most used performance, it is still a relief to see it on DVD. It is definitely a must have for all Reggae fans. I think it's too bad that they are still releasing the edited version on DVD. The actual performance is actually almost three hours long. The highlights of the show is when Bob sings Crazy Baldheads. I agree with the first reviewer on the fact that the concert in Dortmund, Germany is long overdue but so overlooked and it is in my opinion Bob Marley's best performance. The great news is that there is so much more to come for Bob Marley's fans like maybe the concert in Zimbabwe...
The documentary that originally aired on the Entertainment Channel under the name "The Bob Marley story", then oddly "Caribbean night" is one of my favorites. It's too bad that they edited out the Bunny Wailer interview featured in the original version for contract/money issues. I'm not sure if they made their way back on this DVD as I am reviewing this from my knowlegde of the VHS tapes.
If you were craving something "fresh" from Bob Marley, here it is?
Movie Review: Bob Marley and The Wailers: Live at the Rainbow
Summary: 5 Stars
Truely exceptional. It captures not only the hypnostic reggae music but also the magic of a truly wonderrful performance. It made me want to time travel back and be part of the audience.Movie Review: Finally available...with some rare songs...
Summary: 5 Stars
So it falls to me to review this first? This June 1977 concert at London's Rainbow Theater captures the recently reconfigured Wailers ending a European tour to promote the masterful 'Exodus' album. The rare videotaped performances of 'Trenchtown Rock' and 'Rebel Music', and 'Crazy Baldhead', dating from the earlier Wailers repertoire, and performed wonderfully well here, are the treasures of this collection, however. Missed notes on some songs, including the beginning of 'Exodus', and guitarist Junior Marvin's failure to notice his boss Bob about to start singing 'Lively Up Yourself', are minor annoyances, as is the loss of Aston Barrett's famous distinctive bass line in 'No More Trouble', jettisoned in favor of a 'new', harder sound (surely a reaction to the exciting energy of London's 'new wave' summer of 1977). By the way, it always annoyed me that the front cover picture on the VHS and now the DVD editions is most definitely not from this 1977 show, but rather is the same photo that graces the 1975 Live at the Lyceum album. I wish those responsible would show some responsibility as well as some historical accuracy. The DVD sound and picture are good, considering the age of the videotape source. Now if they would only release the 1980 Dortmund, Germany performance on DVD. The accompanying DVD 'Carribbean Nights' is informative and enjoyable, and provides a good look at Marley's life and times. While it contains no full-length performances, it does contain several exciting if brief film clips of various performances such as the Leeds, UK 1973 show with Peter Tosh. Hopefully these early performances will someday make it onto DVD as well.
Movie Review: GOOD NEWS!!!!! THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes I do have this Video and as good as it is, everyone wants it on DVD, so It will be.... soon.... From what I know, Ihear that its going to be released on the 25 of January, NOW the date(S) of release has been changed before, I belive two or three times already, the recent one being Nov. 23. So Im not sure of its definate release but BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR IT!!! Some one wrote that they hope it will have bounus features, well I read that there are two versions of the release, One regular ( I think its just with the concert ) and the Deluxe edition with Carribean Nights sort of like Legend/Time Will Tell. So I have been doing resech on line at various sources and Bob Marley's Actual website always seems to be delayed, they dont even have Burnin the Deluxe Edition yet, NOR The Roxy Concert (at THIS Time.) So Surf the web and watch out for it!!

Movie Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
We are blessed that this concert was caught on film. Every song is amazing, and both he and the wailers were on that night. My favorite songs on the set are "Rebel Music", "War - No More Trouble", and "The Heathen". But even the other songs on this set are great. Beware because the version of "The Heathen" is amazing and you will rewind it many times to see it again. I can't count how much i've played this in the year i've had it. Hopefully it comes out on DVD with bonus features.
