Biggest reggae show my local college town has ever seen! Plus its in 114 Yr old historic theater with only a 950 GA capacity, so its a no-brainer. Wasn't so upset about $69.50 but the $19.00 (un-avoidable) venue service fee was annoying... Oh well, money well spent for helping to bring Spear's high-energy, positive, bombastic, uplifting ire vibes around!!

Even with launching his music career back in 1969, nobody will accuse Burning Spear for being slowed down by the sands of time! Daaaayyyuuuummm!
Almost felt like they applied JRAD musical approach to his own music catalog. Super up-tempo yet extremely powerful, detailed mosaic of movement infectious grooves. Spear looked healthy, his voice was velvet, deep, rich, and booming. Only my second show (first was 2010 Sonoma County fairgrounds) but i was familiar enough with his songs to know his band --The Burning Band--was tight, thunderous, and very high emery. (Same bass player, a lion on drums, and of course the horn section backing him up). Even the opening band was worth being early for. (They even played a great version of Red Gold & Green)
Tried to use Shazam app on phone to capture setlist. LMAO! It failed miserably to recognize any of first (3) songs so i bailed, but you will be thrilled with the setlist.
Small venue, close proximity, so much love and celebration of life and music. Really evident that Spear was having a great time, and the triple encore was pretty solid!
Encore: 1. Rainbows? (unsure of actual song title)> Marcus Garvey> African Postman
We are so lucky to be able to catch living-legends live in concert. Please do whatever you can to catch this tour if you enjoy reggae music; i left with a music-buzz/fade like i had been crushing bongs of kind for hours, even though my stash was securely left at home. As another Zoner wisely reminds us: "Go To The Show!"
