Recorded at London’s Lyceum Theatre in 1975 during the breakthrough Natty Dread era, the performances capture roots reggae transforming into a global live phenomenon. Rawer and more urgent than the studio recordings, they channel the political tension, spiritual energy and communal atmosphere that made reggae one of the defining musical forces of the decade.
Featuring definitive versions of “No Woman, No Cry,” “Lively Up Yourself” and “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry),” the album documents the moment reggae crossed from Kingston sound systems into international counterculture, protest movements and mainstream popular music.
