I had just bought my first DAT portable so I was able to do it digitally. In September 1989 I had the opportunity to copy a bunch of KSAN reels over a weekend. The original notes - edited: (with thanks to musigny23 for his work and upload) This is the latest upgrade, it has the best PreFM lineage and is the most complete. This is the best sounding of those unreleased shows, from the last night of the four dates performed at the Boarding House in San Francisco. One of these is in quite desperate sound quality the Roxy in LA, but the other nine recordings split between five audience and four sbd/fm sources are all worth collecting if you are a keen Marley fan. The only official release to date from this tour is the 'Live' album recorded at the Lyceum in London, this being it's 40th anniversary, yet another opportunity is being squandered by the record company in not releasing a deluxe edition of such a classic album.įortunately there are a further ten unreleased live recordings circulating from the tour. Al Anderson took over on lead guitar, Alvin 'Seeco' Pattterson added percussion with Tyrone Downie on keyboard duties. Drafted in to take the places of Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer (Joe Higgs) and Earl Lindo were the I Threes consisting of Bob's wife Rita and Judy Mowatt formerly of the Gaylets (renowned Studio One singer Marcia Griffiths missed this tour because of pregnancy. This tour is notable for the significant change in group members, only Bob Marley (guitar and vocals), Aston 'Familyman' Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums) appeared on the 1973 tour. Four days later the group were in London for two dates at the Lyceum Ballroom, a show in Birmingham followed, before this short visit to England concluded in Manchester on July 20th. One night at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland followed before finishing this North American leg with a five night run at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. Ten dates in California followed, beginning on July 4th with a four night stand at the Boarding House in San Francisco. After a seven day consecutive run at Paul's Mall in Boston, the tour broke for a few days with some much neeeded rest and the inevitable travelling time for the remaining dates on the West coast.

After a warm up show in Miami, the Natty Dread tour began with a trip over the border to Toronto in Canada on June 8th these early dates in June then covered the North Eastern states of the USA.
