668: Bob Marley releases Live album

In 1974, Bob Marley spent much of his time in the studio working on the sessions that eventually provided Natty Dread, an album that included such fiercely committed songs as “Talkin’ Blues,” “No Woman No Cry,” and “Rebel Music (3 o’clock Roadblock)”. By the start of the next year, however, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh had quit the group to embark on solo careers and the band was re-named Bob Marley & The Wailers. Natty Dread was released in February 1975 and, by the summer, the band was on the road again. Bunny and Peter’s missing harmonies were replaced by the I-Threes, the female trio comprising Bob’s wife Rita together with Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt. During this tour, on July 18th and 19th, they performed at the Lyceum Ballroom in London and recorded a live album of these performances.
