Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1964–1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.

Marley's best known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, together with The Wailers, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album, Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-selling album, being 10 times Platinum (Diamond) in the U.S., and selling 20 million copies worldwide.

1979 - the Santa Barbara Bowl. Fresh from half a dozen dates in Harlem - an attempt from his management to sell him to the African American community - Bob Marley arrives on stage, nonchalant as ever. The audience, almost exclusively white, are thriving on expectancy and Bob and band don't fail to deliver. The band rips through song after song and Bob seemingly relives each one, amplifying the message with exaggerated stage gestures.

With the charts filled to the brim with talentless prats, it's unsurprising that the likes of Marley are still revered across generational gaps as one of the greatest songwriters/performers. His dance routines are rather rusty, his sprawling band can occasionally be a little loose and his clothes seem to have been picked up at Oxfam but you can't beat him for charisma or stage presence. The songs were a wide choice from his ample repertoire but thankfully avoids being a "greatest hits" concert. That night they played:

* Positive Vibration
* Wake Up And Live
* Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)
* Concrete Jungle
* I Shot The Sheriff
* Ambush In The Night
* Running Away
* Crazy Bald Head

* Africa Unite
* Natty Dread,
* One Drop
* Exodus

* So Much Things To Say
