牙买加国宝、第三世界超级巨星生前最后演出实况

主要搭配当年发行专辑『Uprising』作宣传,1980/9/23於宾州匹兹堡市The Stanley Theatre的精彩演唱

回味“Redemption Song”、“Could You Be Loved”、“Jamming”、“No Woman No Cry”等经典原音

在好莱坞星光大道上留名、葛莱美「终身成就奖」加冕的雷鬼乐之父Bob Marley,拥有牙买加国宝和第三世界超级巨星等称谓。他打破种族藩篱,成功将雷鬼音乐推入主流市场,活化且丰富Reggae早期最简单的音乐律动。

从小就对音乐深感兴趣的Bob Marley,藉由乐曲的抒发表达内心理念。顺利获签Island旗下发行专辑,直到1975年以经典传唱曲“No Woman No Cry”打进英国排行Top40,相继挺入美国流行榜,开始让Bob Marley发光发热。70年代中期後Bob Marley And The Wailers不分种族的向主流市场扩散,不时反映人道与和平精神。虽然Marley在1981年不幸因为癌症过世,享年36岁,但他不死的精神,依然藉由他庞大的家族与乐团继续传承下去。1976年获选滚石杂志「年度最佳乐团」、1999年专辑『Exodus』入籍时代杂志「世纪专辑」殊荣,再次证明他的影响力与至高地位。

这张Marley生前的最後演出秀【Live Forever】,以双CD精美包装,经过绝佳音质混音处理,完整记载1980年9月23日於宾州匹兹堡市The Stanley Theatre的演出实况,还收藏当晚的珍贵照片。主要搭配当年发行『Uprising』专辑作宣传,大部分也都是里头的歌曲。当时已受病魔摧残的Marley,有感而发写出的“Redemption Song”,舍弃拿手的雷鬼节奏,利用Acoustic吉他演绎,入选滚石杂志「史上最伟大500首单曲」名单第66名;“Could You Be Loved”登上告示牌舞曲榜Top6+黑人单曲榜NO.56,英国则写下第5名佳绩,2010年世界盃足球赛闭幕式,也播放了此曲片段;还有至今仍是Pub/Club中经常听到的国歌“Jamming”、成名关键招牌作“No Woman No Cry”...等优选。聆听Marley与团员们齐力搭建传统雷鬼音韵,轻松自在宣泄属於牙买加的摇摆情调。

Description The final concert of Bob Marley s career, this oft-bootlegged show has never sounded better than on this official 2011 release from the Marley estate. With plenty of hiss and maxed levels, Live Forever is hardly perfect when it comes to sound quality, and the laid-back show doesn't stand up againstMarley's live masterpiece Babylon by Bus, but fans who wanttheir reggae party a little less 'punky' will find this a great, chilled alternative. Seeing as they were on tour in support of the album, plenty of material from Uprising appears, including lesser-known numbers such as "Zion Train and Work." They re both interesting and very pleasing in these liveversions, but the highlights remain the classics, includingan R&B-influenced rendition of "No Woman No Cry" and a rock-solid performance of "Natural Mystic." While "Jamming" comes with a bit more of a bounce than usual, it is "Exodus" that really comes alive, speeding up as it goes while threatening to fly off the tracks. Most everything else gets coated in island soul and the cool confidence the successful Wailerswere projecting at the time, so don t expect a revolution. Still, it s good to hear the legend both on top of his game (Babylon by Bus) and on top of the world (Live Forever). Marley fans have room for both, and will rightfully declare Live Forever a worthy addition to the extended catalogue.
