CONCERT REVIEW:
On the 27th of June, 1980 at the Tadio
Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro, Milan in Italy
Bob Marley played his largest show anywhere
in the world ( and, indeed, in Italys
history so far ) to a crowd of 120,000
gathered individuals with the support acts
Roberto Ciotti, Pino Daniele & the Average
White Band while also using his backing
singers The I-Threes as support a la Bob
Dylan’s Gospel tour. The Uprising tour was
the last tour Marley would undertake before
his untimely death in May next year but is
very highly regarded & tonight would be the
only time the band would play in Italy.
The recording is an excellent Audience
taping, recorded close to the speakers,
picking up a lot of the bass noise that
Reggae relies on to lift it’s groove but the
bass is never over powering & won’t over
shadow the performance although it does
sound a little strange at the beginning as
if the audience is seperated from the music
by a margin although it’s something that
your ears quickly get used to & the two meld
together very well.
The Tape starts with an introduction by the
M.C. for the I-Threes before the trio launch
in to their Wailers inspired tracks
beginning with “Precious love”. They’re very
much based on the style of Marleys tracks, a
lilting, sunny pop slope without urgency.
Once this finishes Sister Marcia introduces
her two fellow vocalists - Sister Judy &
Sister Rita - & explains that they’re here
as an extra warm up for Brother Bob Marley’s
main set.
None of the crowd show any dissatisfaction
with this - They’re obviously soaking up the
sun & the vibes around the park or, are at
this time, just a little too stoned to care.
The other three tracks bounce along
pleasantly enough & serve to fulfill the
feeling of the concert at the time in a
fuller experience. “Slave Queen” is a track
from Judy Mowatt’s 1979 album ‘Black Woman’
& “That’s The Way” was a current solo single
for Rita Marley.
For Bob Marleys section theres a jaunty,
piano & bass led intro with stattaco jamming
from organ, bongos & guitar punctuating
throughout - also it’s difficult to tell if
it’s in the introduction or someone in the
audience has taken the ‘day out in the park’
scenario all to far but there’s the familiar
sound of a dog barking somewhere. I’ve heard
of this happening at a Bob Dylan concert but
never thought that it might happen else
where too - The set proper begins with
“Natural Mystic” the opening track from
‘Exodus’ - Possibly Marleys biggest ever
album. It’s a track that the crowd obviously
all recognise & go wild for with Marley
whipping the attended up at the start of it,
hailing the ‘Mystic vibe’ that was carrying
the mood around.
The setlist wouldn’t change very much
throughout the Uprising tour with the
exception of the later U.S. shows. The vibe
continues with “Positive Vibration” a
catchy, pogo-ing romp imploring the listener
to give out a little happiness to get a
little happiness back. The crowd, enthused
by the message, clap & whistle along through
out the track cheering louder through out
the instrumental break obviously applauding
Marley’s head swinging skanking dance. This
flows straight in to Revolution a slower,
more portentous slink which the audience lap
up just as much as the previous song ( there
really is no let up at a Bob Marley concert!
).
“I Shot The Sheriff” follows the track from
the first Wailers album & famously covered
By Eric Clapton on his ‘461 Ocean Boulevard’
album from 1974 - the song that would be his
only No. 1 single in the U.S.A - this is a
fiery version played out tonight with Bob
hollering out the lyrics possibly aiming to
take back the track as his own again or then
again he could be putting back the meaning
in to his song that he first considered - “I
want to say ‘I shot The Police’ but the
government would have made a fuss so I said
‘I shot the sheriff’ instead… but it’s the
same idea: justice.”
The track that follows is “War / No More
Trouble” taking inspiration from text by one
of Marley’s heros Haile Selassie around the
abolition of war & the weapons of
destruction that herald it it’s message is
clear - that everyone should live together
in harmony - the very pinnacle of many of
Marley’s messages. During this track the
taper moves his equipment seemingly to
record the reaction of the crowd who by now
are lapping it up. “Zimbabwe” & “Zion Train”
end the first disk - the former being the
more politically based of the two addressing
Africa’s rights & the power behind it, the
latter another pean to God & the force that
would save all of God’s believers.
Disk two begins with one of Bob’s biggest
hits “No Woman, No Cry”. The audience are
louder, being closer to the mike again,
enthusiastically clapping & chanting along
to the song. The song is one of the tracks
most steeped in Rock & Roll featuring a a
crazy solo towards it’s end - possibly a
homage of sorts to Eric Clapton for having
made “I Shot The Sheriff” the hit that it
was. “Jammin’” is next up, another track
that the crowd know all too well & another
track to feature rockish influences with a
wobbly guitar line punctuating the coda to
the song.
“Exodus” the title track to Marley’s ninth
album & his comeback LP after his
assassination attempt in December 1976. The
title runs a heft 7 minutes on the album
proper but never outstays it’s welcome, here
it’s slightly abbreviated but loses none of
it’s force or draw compelling the crowd to
gut up once again. After the boisterous jolt
of “Exodus” the “Redemption Song” comes as a
delicate reflection & a chance for the
audience to reach for their lighters. While
the song rolls on, the dog barks again (
It’s obvious it wasn’t just part of the
introduction then .. ) but it’s only brief &
does nothing to ruin the track itself.
“Natty Dread” is a personification of
Rastafari - the culture that enveloped
Marley & the one that he took to his heart .
“Work is from the “Uprising” album so may
not be as familiar to the audience as some
of the other songs played tonight & indeed
doesn’t seem to elicit such an immediate
response as some of the other songs as
neither does “Kaya” having been buried on
the album of the same name & not being the
hit single from there. “Roots, Rock, Reggae”
is another slower paced skank with more of
an airy or empty atmosphere but this does
allow the I-Three’s to bring their voices
forward & harmonize a little more clearly.
“Is This Love” is another track from “Kaya”
& is obviously better known than the title
track & more of a crowd pleaser. the concert
is running in to it’s final stages now as
the band draw some of their best known &
loved tracks - “Could You Be Loved” being
one of them. Employing a looping & buzzy
guitar line, a tongue tying chorus &
trampolineing bass line - it’s ready made to
put a smile on the face & it certainly gets
the crowd back in the swing of things again
with a call & reply chant towards the end.
“Kinky Reggae” & “Get Up, Stand Up” bring
the concert to an end in fine style the
latter a raging bounce reminding the Italian
people that it’s never the time to be
complacent & once again Bob uses the call &
response effect to great strength as the
crown respond with gusto having been treated
to a night of pure reggae brilliance.
