There is arguably no figure that looms larger over music than Bob Marley. He defines the reggae genre with his honest lyrics, smooth voice, and unforgettable songs. His dreadlocks and smile will be part of music forever. Bob Marley was more than a musician. In his short time on Earth, he became a revolutionary, singing for the rights and happiness of people everywhere.

The live CD, Live Forever, was Bob Marley’s last recorded live show before his death. The 2 CD set, recorded September 23rd in Pittsburgh’s Stanley Theatre, is almost a live greatest hits album. The soul of a legend is apparent in every part of the CD’s. Disc 1, is full of lesser known tracks that demonstrate his unbelievable ability to write lyrics. From “Natural Mystic” to “Them Belly Full,” the spirit of Bob Marley is captured in every second of the smooth music. Disc 2 is not so slowly becoming one of the most played CD’s on my computer. It truly is a classic that any reggae or Marley fan should own. If anyone is new to Bob Marley, it is also a CD that they should listen to. It contains the great songs that defined Bob Marley and the Wailers: “Jammin’” “Exodus” “Is This Love” and so many more.

Live CD’s are often overlooked in the music world, with all the attention being given to studio released albums, but they are great for a fan of the artist. The creativity and passion of a performer shines through in live shows, and is, more often than not, how people remember the them.

This live CD is more than just that. This is a piece of music history. A legendary figure in music’s last recorded concert can chill the bones of any passionate fan. Live Forever is a must listen, and own, for any Bob Marley, reggae, or just plain music fan.
