Steel pulse forever
am a die-hard fan of steel pulse, i have followed and loved pulse all the way..... Steel Pulse has evolved, metamorphosed....the stage of ladysingers, stage of hornsmen, two keyboardsmen etc,,,,,, but i tell you,,,,this original set up, the deliverance, the spirit, the vibe, the show, if i dare say surpasses all. do you feel so too?
Just the quality of German/Rockpalast recording in those days ... so clear, so rich.
oRIGINAL Pulse..!! Handsworth Revolution, Tribute to the Martyrs, Caught You and True Democracy....they are the BEST..!!
Ah yes, Steel Pulse. I've probably seen more Steel Pulse concerts than any other reggae act. Why? They toured extensively with punk bands and were embraced by skinheads in England. In the late 70's in Britain the roots reggae sound took hold. The most famous groups, The Cimarons, Aswad, Misty In Roots, Black Slate, Matumbi, Capital Letters, Steel Pulse and the great poet/singer Linton Kwesi Johnson all gained prominence at that time. Their importance cannot be overstated, For the first time absolutely first class reggae was being played outside Jamaica. Make no mistake about it--these groups took a backseat to no one. You have only to watch this tremendous Steel Pulse concert, with its super sound quality. They're playing songs from their first three groundbreaking albums, Handsworth Revolution (1978) Tribute to the Martyrs (1979) and Caught You (1980) On a personal note, I remember the time I bought Handsworth Revolution, taped it and brought the tape and a boombox to Washington Square park in New York City. I usually sat with the Jamaicans in the park. When I pushed play on the boombox all heads turned towards me. No one had heard reggae like this before---Steel Pulse had a unique sound. Terry Wilson, who happened to be in the park that day and would later became host of the famous Midnight Ravers show on WBAI (he still hosts it), made me play the tape three times over. Yes, Steel Pulse is one helluva a band and treasure in reggae music.
Best British Reggae Band great Line up.
Yes I believe This Band steel pulse is one of the best Original Band every make Reaggae music real up lifting and blackness and the teaching of black leaders respect them to the max respect guys
I encourage you to watch the entire set, but here is where each individual song begins:
Best band of Reggae in the world.
one of the best bands of all time. so Rasta so Right so tight.....say no more
Saw them with Herbie Hancock in 1984. Good sized auditorium.
Too bad this live performance was not sold as a LP and distributed widely. This is the best Steel Pulse recording I have ever heard. That edgy, raw, and rootsy Reggae sound is captured perfectly here. Bravo!
Wow this is incredible they were so great back then Hamdsworth Revolution and Tribute to the Martyrs are really their best work and this is golden age right here
this is the best steel pulse lineup, they had such a great sound. love it
So good to see the original members. The band will never be able to top this crew.

The best Steel Pulse live ever
They were so much better than today

Vintage Steel Pulse. Fantastic. Thats when Steel Pulse really moved the "musical pulse" around the "musical beat" and exchanged them too creating a totally new sound and feel within or on top of the Reggae beat.
