Totally! And there’s reason why recording is poor because the concert was decisively not recorded so it is just what was televised on TV. Again, all part of the awesome history, event and even controversies. :+1:

Lovely Nighthawk Records compilation from 1981. This US label released a few really good quality LP’s of Roots Reggae, one of the first labels I discovered to take the music seriously and present it with care, respect, quality mastering, and educational sleeve notes.


1982 Calling Rastafari

1983 Knotty Vision


Sublime…

Scott Joplin died on this day in 1917

> By 1916, Joplin was suffering from tertiary syphilis but more specifically it likely was neurosyphilis. In January 1917, he was admitted to Manhattan State Hospital, a mental institution. He died there on April 1 of syphilitic dementia at the age of 48, and was buried in a pauper’s grave that remained unmarked for 57 years. His grave at St. Michael’s Cemetery (New York) in East Elmhurst was finally given a marker in 1974, the year The Sting , which showcased his music, won for Best Picture at the Oscars.
