- Jamaica was on the verge of a full blown civil war in 1978 when two inner city Kingston warlords got the idea to unite a dying country using the power of reggae music. This video tells the epic story behind Jamaica's most important concert.
Reggae Appreciation Society Respect and blessings in abundance to 💫💯💫
i saw this concert on video years ago what a awesome concert jacob miller taking the police hat of him
Oh. I have watched this concert many, many times. Please tell me that it wasn't just me that saw Bob, whilst in a trance like state, reaching a spiritual climax it was him reaching towards the sky that caused this thunder and lightning to appear??? As if Moses himself!!! Crazy.
Nice work bro...And the interesting thing actually was: Jacob Miller who at the time was at the height of his popularity was actually ear-marked as the central musical figure for that concert but unfortunately for him Bob's overwhelming reputation and charisma couldn't be ignored.. It was even speculated Jacob Miller (being very ambitious) was unhappy about this perceived snub..This may have explained why Bob took Miller and Inner Circle along with him to Brazil for the opening of Island Records" new offices there..Of course we all know Jacob Miller soon passed away soon after, on March 23, 1980.😢
This is all very interesting indeed my friend. But could Jacob "killer"Miller have done it with such beauty and spirituality as Bob did? I'm sure that we both know the answer to this. Still. Bless his Soul.
@@troylewin1443 That's true of course. Miller was Charismatic too, but was more of a showman while Bob was much more than that of course.
Respect for this America 🇺🇸 an Cuba 🇨🇺 was the master mind behind this
Really well presented of a magnificent spiritual performance

Hello from France! congratulations for your splendid work and for sharing your knowledge! thanks!
Much blessings, respect and Apprecialove for and, to all the rightful artists who took part in this event. And a deeper respect to those who sacrificed their careers, their lives, and those who was brutalised. Yet never copmpromised their integrity and principles for the liberation of Mamma Africa and the upliftment of poor and oppressed people globally. Peter was brutalised so bad that his brain could be seen. Peter's locs never grew back, Peter's wife Marlene said that Peter suffered excruciating headaches for the rest of his time on this earth.. 🎼💜🖤💜🎼
Yes. It's said his popularity and his association with the Rolling Stones saved him
@@lawrencenjawe9875 That's true about The Rolling Stones. . They say word got around of Peter's arrest and they announced it on I don't know if it was one or several stations asking people to save Bush Doctor from the beating. . Bob went see his brother Peter the same night and they said that Bob cried s lot,, and begged Peter to leave Jamaica.
@@MsWildberry1 Very interesting bit, indeed. Thanks for the info.👍
@@MsWildberry1 Again it's worthy to note Peter had actually shunned the Peace Concert citing a lot of skepticism over the prospects of genuine peace. It appears he changed his mind, seeing an opportunity to make a strong statement...Mad Courage if you ask me😯.... Similar to Dub Poet Oku Onuora's...I respect both for it , though....
@@lawrencenjawe9875 Respect I believe Bunny refused to go too.
Amazing
I love how you tell this story. Thank you!
Am from Africa zambian 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲 and I really learn alot from your teachings bro..
Blessings mi lion. Thanks for watching ❤️💛💚
This was indeed an amazing concert that brought temporal reassessment and a bit of peace in some regards. I just wonder what on earth can be done to save Jamaica from the desperately dire situation it finds itself in, in this time of unprecedented blatant avarice and neglect perpetrated by the people that claim to be running things 🤔
Thanks for this great documentary
Peter TOSH. Peace treaty
Tu m'a donné la chair de poule.
"All those who signed that peace treaty, I told them it couldn't worky worky; and now this one have a gun and that one have a gun, babylon run, yes him run."
Peter tosh.
Right. The lyrics were from the song "Peace Treaty" off the Mama Africa album (1983)..Great opening riffs by the horn section...that one, I remember 👍
@@lawrencenjawe9875 you are right bro
You study our history and culture African bigup the mother land and the kings of kings
Simply great , I had the video cassette "Heartland Reggae" played it soooo much, it melted (humor)..Thx to R.A.S. they bring me back and move me forward‼🌞🌿🌿🙋🏻♀
Peter Tosh was the real Hero that night. He actually wanted change, not just preaching about it.
I am loving this channel..Gwan!!👍🏿
Massive
Gwan RAS .. man i miss my LOCKS..yes those Natty Dreads..🏃🏾 BTw... was this the time when the Police taught Mr Tosh some lessons..with their boots & whatever else?(for his display? ) Plus the those BAD BOY's eventually got their days numbered...🎤The harder they come, the harder they fall ..yes i knoooow! Bless bless! 🌴🙏🏾
This history I knew a little, thanks for explaining more details, I thought that Seaga was a communist, a left party too. Sad that Bunny not played there, there are some rumors that he was invited, but recused....
Would like that existed more old archives like Roots Rock Reggae festival in sep 1979 the last Bobs show in JA, I think...Bless!
Manley was socialist leaning, insofar that he wanted free public health and education (something every natuon should have anyway), and expressed sympathy for Cuba.
This provoked pamic in the USA: after loosing their casino and brothel island of Cuba, they couldn't afford to loose even their vacation island of Jamaica. The CIA choose Seaga as their puppet and flooded the Ja with guns to arm his thugs and so the history of political violence in the island begun.
I love your segments. However, this is the second segment today I’ve heard the song Uptown Top Ranking named incorrectly.
Apologies mi lion will correct going forward
Does anybody know where I can find a decent audio copy of the one love concert - on CD or vinyl. Especially Bob and Peter’s performances???
The concert mentioned where Althea and Donna / Dillinger / Dennis brown performed was not the one love peace concert. That was a different concert and can be found in the Heartland Reggae documentary of 1980. Nonetheless great info and insight, thanks again
It was the One Love Peace Concert but one of the early sets on another stage.
@@stuckintha90s When i got wind of heartland, it got me confused since I've known thing but One love/Peace over the years. You're right. Both were the same. A set of related concerts on different stages.
Bob went on stage with a bullet wound""after being shot at days before "this concert""❤
No he was shot before the smile Jamaica concert in 1976 😄
Wow Jamaica was a mess those days
It is a worse mess now and it is beyond political control. violent gangs are all over Jamaica and the local police have serious corruption problems.
The speech that almost cost tosh his life but he did get picked up by the stones because of this show
🇱🇨👊🏼🇯🇲👍🏼♥️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯☝🏻
At the so called one love peace concert with the prime Minister Michael Manley and opposition leader Edward Seaga..PETER TOSH ASKED THE PRIME MINISTER MICHAEL MANLEY AND OPPOSITION LEADER EDWARD SEAGA IF THEY WANT TO TASTE HIS HERB 🌿
PETER TOSH CONFRONT THE PRIME MINISTER MICHAEL MANLEY AND OPPOSITION LEADER EDWARD SEAGA.
How come the show that save jamaica..and after that in1977 political voilene in1980 election ..political voilence turn up in 1980 electionss ...that one love concert....only only one good about it when PETER TOSH. TOSH andreas the GOVERNTMENT THAT WAS the HALLMARK...
The moon was high over my head ! But i give my love instead. Lord Lord Lordy! Oh Lord. Bless the Wailers and all InI reggae appreciation society. Mi dreadlock bredder just gave me some ital chicken to go with mi breakfast and you RAS once again have given me the Word of God. Hmmm, btw have you done a video about the individual Wailers? I jammed with Family mon once but love to hear more about the Hippie Boys and Wire. More about Bunny and Peter but ya mon, im eating Ital 😊. Ty n have a blessed day
Wow you jammed with Family man?! It must been a blast. I've done a video about Bunny but need to do about Bob and Peter. Thanks for the suggestion, I can't believe I missed it all this while 😄
@ReggaeAppreciationSociety mon, he was the only original Wailer jamming at Flagstaff AZ but the rest of the new Wailers rocked it solid. I easily met a solid gal and danced all concert long. Then I had a prophetic dream that night, tell ya anytime ya ask mon. HIM rules forIver and we native Americans will help every soul. I believe in pan-africa movement. Us veterans and doctors will ensure the safety of Africa . 🤙Aloha
