Bob Marley and the Wailers, Live at the Montreal Forum, June 10, 1978

It’s always great to come across artist profiles and concert reviews in the vast newspaper archives.  These articles give us a first-person account of the performance, without the fluff, embellishment, and legend that inevitably gets added to the description of these shows over the past 30 years.  It’s a snapshot-real, factual (albeit opinionated), and preserved in perpetuity.

I have FLAC audio for this show, but it is beyond garbage.  It’s actually painful to listen to.  However, in the spirit of sharing, you can download and hear it for yourself HERE

I have also included a link to an interview with Marley by a Canadian journalist at the end of the post.
