Remastered: Who Shot the Sheriff? (2018)
#1
This is an hour long doc about Bob Marley focusing primarily on his two most pivotal JA shows, the Smile Jamaica concert & the One Love Peace concert, the assassination attempt, the social violence, and the political climate of JA at the time with Manley’s socialist PNP vs Seaga’s capitalist JLP. It’s a fair retelling of this history for an hour long doc, especially if you don’t know much about Bob. I enjoyed watching some of the people who were interviewed, but a lot of key people were missing, most notably the Marley family (unless you count Cindy but her participation pretty much shuts out Rita). There wasn’t anything new to me information-wise but there was some footage of Bob that I had not seen before. Note that I have CDs of both of those concerts and OLP is one of the most amazing performances of Bob’s ever - it’s transcendent - you can hear him pierce the veil.
D00M recommended it you don’t know it. I suspect it’d be unrevealing for KB too, but like me, you might enjoy some of the vintage footage and a few of the interviewees.

Did not know there was an album of that. I've always loved Bob Marley Live (which I'd put in my top two live albums, along with Europe 72). On the other hand, I was never that into Babylon by Bus; I thought there was some overlong self-indulgent guitar work in there, and the rhythms didn't hit as hard as on Live.

You forget that I collected Bob rarities. I have like $1k of rare Marley CDs, like the entire Japan pressings of live shows (over a dozen of varying quality) plus a lot of odd trades I made over the years. I have several dozen live Marley concerts.
