burning spear, 4.7.81 @ the agora ballroom, atlanta

in all honesty i cant stomach too much reggae. i dont know what it is about the style that puts me off but maybe this can explain it. it could also be that i dont expose myself to good raggae. i have tried but get quickly burned out on the sameness of the artists. i understand reggae artists stick to the roots quite a bit but mixing it up from time to time wouldnt kill them.

one artist that i do listen to with some frequency is burning spear. two records of his, in particular, are some the finest recordings ever created, hail h.i.m., backed by the wailers, and marcus garvey. i have not listened to too much more of his catalogue outside of those two, but i know i probably should.

here is a show from 4.7.81 in atlanta @ the agora ballroom. its not a perfect recording, but what do you want from a cassette tape transfer?

1. burning intro

2. wilderness

3. slavery days

4. the sun

5. lion

6. road foggy

7. columbus

8. old marcus garvey

9. man in the hills

10. african postman

11. follow marcus garvey

12. we are free

Marcus Garvey Hail H.I.M.

on a more personal note. if someone could recommend me a good ccna studying guide, or a good set of sims it would be greatly appreciated.
