DVD Reviews of Bob Marley & The Wailers - Heartland Reggae
DVD Review: Top rate performances
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've read the other reviews, you should understand by now that this DVD is far from a Bob Marley documentary and isn't really revealing as a documentary feature per se. Marley only performs a couple of songs, and if you're well versed in reggae music, you've likely already heard at least the One Love Peace Concert performances. Still, the footage of Manley and Seaga coming up onstage is historic.
Nonetheless, the DVD is indispensible to the serious reggae collector for the other concert footage and live performances, and the sound quality isn't so bad it's intolerable. There are several Peter Tosh performances ("400 Years", "African", "Get Up, Stand Up", & more) with Word Sound and Power as his band and they are in TOP FORM. All live versions are alternate takes and most contain the blistering drum and bass of Sly & Robbie and absolutely sick keyboard solos from the keyboardist (who I believe here is "Tarzan"). The DVD is worth the money for the Tosh performances alone.
There is also footage from some outdoor festival and I just feel lucky someone got these somewhat obscure performances on video. Dennis Brown and Jacob Miller crank out some serious tunes and in one of my favorites on the DVD, U-Roy toasts for about a song and a half over some bottom-heavy rhythms (too bad they cut the first song in half!!). Also, you get strong performances from Judy Mowatt and others. This '70's Roots Reggae in its prime. Watching it performed adds a dimension beyond just having heard the music.
