Today we have another vital contribution from the MIDNIGHT DREAD!
Doug just mastered this Midnight Dread bay area program off its chromium ‘boss bass’ cassette from early this morning 33 years ago today when Bob Marley was about to play Oakland Auditorium with Betty Wright “this Friday!” I and I hit the airwaves with ’nuff Bob plus Climax Asher, LKJ, Matumbi, Marcia, Gregory, Dr. A, A. Pablo, The Bases, Bob Andy, plenty “Hypocrite” and much more. Time machine up yourself and listen to the 1970s when dignity and roots reggae ruled:

As promoted in the show, Bob and the Wailers played a legendary show at the Oakland Coliseum that same week.  In fact, the band was joined onstage by Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones for a few songs!  CLICK HERE to access this show.
