HAJAH - SKA DUB REGGAE

[bamber]

It is no exaggeration to say this guy was responsible to the very best nights of my musical life. A giant amongst men. 

R.I.P. Jah Shaka.

 

[bamber]

This is splendid.

Channel One, Notting Hill 2023, I was mostly at Dis Ya Jeneration, but moved over here for a while.

 

[bamber]

1974?

1974 seems unlikely to me, not ruling it out?  Great tune whenever it was recorded.

 

[bamber]

The mighty U-Roy. This is from 1975.

My Dreadlocks are long gone, If you have dreadlocks, don't cut 'em.

 

[bamber]

"Babylon your throne gone down ... "

 

[bamber]

My very favourite Cat Stevens cover ever.

 

[bamber]

Boris Gardiner. A soundtrack from a very long time ago...

 

[bamber]

Actual 1974. Ken Booth.

Ha Ha, how f**king magnificent is this?

 

[bamber]

There is no way to describe what we have lost.

Lee Perry.

bob and don letts saw aswad doing warrior charge at notting hill carnival, according to a don letts story.

babylon is a great movie, with music done by dennis bovell, soundtrack album is pretty good too.

I'm regretting not going already. Badu is always magnificent. No stranger to the Reggae either.

Aswad played the festival a lot in the early 80s, like every year.

This is a very quiet recording so, go on, turn it right up

Pyramid 1982.

(I was there and at every single time they have played 🥭)

 

[Neil]

Did they play in 86?I remember seeing a reggae band headlining stage 2 one night I'm not sure which night and I'm not sure on the band. Aswad are my first guess.

Misty in roots my second guess.

all such a long time ago the memory has faded.

Probably Black Uhuru or the Wailers in 86., though neither headlined by the looks of it https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/history/history-1986/

How good is it seeing a Pyramid set from 82? Never thought any of that was recorded.

ONE (Confederate) flag!

Pretty sure it wasn't the wailers or black Uhuru think I'd remember the

Band name if it has been either if those.  Think it must have been Friday night Cos I saw pyramid hedliners on two nights which I thinkbwere Saturday and Sunday ( the cure,and psychedelic furs respectively).
