Details Release Date: Feb 01, 2011; Lead Performance: Bob Marley & the Wailers; Genre: Reggae/Ska

Recorded at a September 1980 concert in Pittsburgh and never previously released, two-CD set Live Forever proves that Marley was still at the top of his live game just months before his death. Most people have heard his hits enough by now to render these faithful renditions a bit superfluous, but the band sounds tight and Marley is his inimitable self. B+
