OK, this weeks Reggae CD Pick of the Week is really a no-brainer as it was just released today! That's right! Bob Marley with the double live cd titled Live Forever (September 23, 1980 - The Stanley Theater) This is reportedly Bob's final concert as he passed away in 1981. So 30 years after Bob's death we finally are now treated to this concert! It's been reported that Bob was so deathly ill before this concert that his wife, (Rita) called his mother from the dressing room, begging her to help stop the reggae legend from performing. The show went on anyway and it was a great one! Now I must admit that being a resourceful guy like I am, I did have a bootleg recording of this show but it wasn't the full complete show as we supposedly have here. I picked this cd up at Best Buy today and it includes a third cd with five bonus studio tracks and some interviews. Check it out!
