Thanks for sharing....bless up

The genius himself

What a hidden jam!! CZcams algorithm knows my taste.

In another time, and cpntext, they would be regarded as great artists. They are frigging good. Mathematical too.

I genuinely think 70 Gwen are one of the greats.

Rastafari

Original Rockers

Thank you for sharing, great footage

Good to hear the signalman reminiscing about days gone by, the corporate, sterile railway of today is a pale reflection of what could have been achieved ,if British rail had had the same subsidy that the current train operating companies receive.

Unbelievably cool. What a journey. Thanks so much for posting a lost gem.

Tremendo

That's me with the mowhawk about to take a stagedive right at the end🤣 I fucking loved the venue!

I was definitely there, I'm wearing the full colour trouble shirt.

Look at that guitarrist, look at those musicians. I thought reggae music was a simple Thing, but if you look in the deep is awesome in a colective perspective as a individual perspective

Marabi?

Woohoo! Just discovered this! I was there, to this day it remains my fav gig ever! I seem to remember stage divers colliding mid air there was that many lol, dreamland! Napalm Death with Lee Dorrian, fucking class in a glass!!

Blessings from Brasil

P2p

Does a recording of the whole show exist? Would love to see or hear that

Pretty sure I was at this gig. It was Charing Cross Road by then, not Wardour Street

Hypnotic...

Thanks for uploading. I understand the desire to leave the audio raw and unpolished but only having playback on the left channel detracts from the performance.

still love it!!

What a band. Still listening to them.

TECHNICAL NOTE 95% of this film was shot using now obsolete Hi8 video, an analogue tape format on a par with, or slightly superior to, VHS. The remainder was shot on a 16mm clockwork drive camera loaded with Kodak Ektachrome VNF reversal film, a stock commonly used for news gathering, which resulted in superior quality images when compared to the Hi8. It was originally intended to shoot entirely on 16mm, but due to budgetary constraints this option proved to be unfeasible. The Hi8 footage was deprecated by the predominance of red lighting that is obligatory at gigs and is the film maker’s major obstacle to achieving crisp pictures. The colour red has the unfortunate effect of softening, or de-focusing, the images as the camera's sensors were unable to process the combination of wavelength colour from the low frequency end of the visible spectrum and the erratic lighting that gives the visual dynamic to live performances. Likewise, the sound is of a similarly inferior quality, low-fi and raw, due to the unavailability of the mixing desk recording, which left the only viable - or only, full stop - recording available being that from the main camera microphone. A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Ozou’ne Sundalyah, the keyboard player in the Rockers Band, for recently taking the time and working his technical refulgence to improve the audio quality of the original recording. So, it is either a completed film containing these technical deficiencies or nothing; and if nothing is what the potential viewer would prefer and rather remember Augustus Pablo from his studio recordings, then so be it. What’s on offer here is an authentic, historic, vérité performance captured for posterity - one of the great Roots reggae originators supported by half a dozen top notch fellow Jamaican musicians. Despite the technical difficulties in using inferior quality equipment and having very limited resources for such an iconic and important event - which, incidentally, no other media organisation was interested in covering - hopefully viewers of this film will be understanding in realising that nearly thirty years on, it has become a straight choice between what is seen and heard here, or nothing but the fond memories of the occasion if one was fortunate enough to be there. The film is warts and all, or not at all, the choice is yours.
