Greatest Reggae Album Ever Turns 20 (albums, Bob Marley, review, track)

This should start some discussion -- I hope. What is the best live reggae album ever recorded?

My pick -- and my argument -- is Burning Spear "Live in Paris -- Zenith '88."

If you've ever heard this masterpiece -- then you probably know what I'm talking about. Simply classic roots reggae.

But I'd be interested in your picks.

Haha, ironically the first thing that blog seems to suggest is please stop talking about bob marley for one second.

I Liked it, I havent heard a lot of reggae, black uhuru, the dominoes, and a couple of others and ofcourse good old bob. But i really liked that.

True. It's hard to talk reggae without Marley being mentioned.

I have'nt heard many live Reggae albums, which is surprising as I love my Reggae. I may have to track the Burning Spear album down as I love them.

Hard to argue with Bob Marley Exodus. The formerly mentioned Bob albums "Rebel Music" and "Legend" are both greatest hits albums. "Catch a Fire" is also a fantastic album, as is "Kaya". For all you reggae fans out there, have any of you ever heard the band "Katchafire"? Their sound is as close to Marley as anyones. Take a listen to the song "Get Away" for starters.
