This album is one of my favorites! Incredibly heavy. I've got double copies if you're interested and willing to pay for such a rarity.

Do also check out the more known live album which is almost as good.

There's also a great live album by Aswad. Not a looker but surely a killer

The Live at Turntable Club I've always wanted to hear but never had the luck of finding it. It certainly looks like a great record.

It's a pretty obvious choice, I guess, but BMW's 'Live At The Lyceum' is essential.

Another one I find goes down well is the Toots & The Maytals live recording at Hammersmith Odeon - the one that hit the streets overnight.

[cover=6543,4601] twinkle brothers 1982 sunsplash set. raw and heavy. not for the weak heart

[cover=3800,3993] israel vibration and gladiators on this set. very nice clean live roots

[cover=3607,3807] DEB at his peak!!! killer sets with unbelievable energy throughout from llyod parks and we the people band. must have for any live collecetion

[cover=7231,4893] bunny wailer with roots radics on this wicked lp.

[cover=3583,3783] heavy 1981 uhuru set with sly and robbie in full force.

[cover=5671,4146] very nice set from cimarons. great instrument interaction and song expansion

this one is awesome: Peter Tosh Live and Dangerous Boston 1976. it is readily available on CD for a cheap price. just noticed that it isn't on Roots Archives.
