October/November 2005 has seen a flood of live cds by Marley & the Wailers being released in Japan, most on the AMJ label.
WARNING !!!
These recordings suffer from poor quality and high prices!
I've already heard some of them and the only one that has a decent recording quality in my ears is the 'Live at the Quiet Knight Club, 1975' recording.
Don't be fooled by the 'historic' recording dates from 1975 to 1980 for the rest of releases like 'St.Paul, Minnesota 1975', 'Boston 1975' or others.

thanks a lot for the information. no need to spend any money fe trash

a very accurate source told me a few years ago that before Bob's Estate had been settled,Rita Marley acquired several live audio tapes and made a deal to release in Japan. I saw a couple cd''s selling about 4-5 years ago and all of the locations and songs i saw on track list were exactly as the tapes in my collection.CDs were selling for $35.00 USD. I laughed when I got home and realized it was true.The next Official Live Bob Marley Show to be released will be most likely his last show ever sept 23,1980 in Pittsburgh, PA. Jah Love Everyone
