      Gregory was truly one of the greats, out of my record collection he holds one of the biggest parts, I have probably a couple of hundred Gregory singles. By the time of this performance his voice was slightly on the decline. I saw Gregory live numerous times, first time I think was around 1978 but for me the second time I saw him which would have been around 1981-82 is still one of the best musical performances I’ve ever seen - saw him with the full Roots Radics band (every member was present) a truly great night.

      I can't agree more with you, Sir! I can still remember our English teacher bringing his radio with a cassette of GI's great song 'Night Nurse' for a listening comprehension lesson. It happened in 1986 and after the lesson I took a bus to go and purchase that cassette. I lost it two years ago and cried like a child. We miss him dearly but he is in our heart. When I feel low I go to RUclips to listen to his music. May he RIP.

      @TheBazo71 Год назад

      @sherforlife1 you make a point I have always paid attention to about Gregory Isaacs - consistency of his works no matter where he does it from.
      By contrast (which is by no means a comparison), notice how Peter Tosh almost makes it a point to sing differently in each live performance from either the last live performance or studio recording of the same song.
      There are very few Peter Tosh live recordings which are identical to studio recordings - I take it it was his choice and signature.
      Big up to these talented musicians we have been privileged to listen to.
      Peace, Love and Blessings from Zambia

      @@TheBazo71 If you like contrasts then contrast Isaac's voice here and in earlier albums like 'More Gregory' (probably my all time Gregory Isaacs album).
      It's a big contrast and it's actually saddening IMHO.
