Bob Marley: Up Close and Personal | Full Music Documentary | John Aizlewood | Sam Blue | Jerry Ewing 

I have always perceived Bob Marley as a Messenger a Prophet. Thanks for the presentation above all thank God Bob lived among men. Jah Rastafari. He lives for ever

As a bob marley fan loved his music all his albums. Saying Rastaman Vibration wasn't a good album that's a joke. My personal view I love his live concerts no matter what.

Such a Handsome Man!! 🥰

A man who created masterpieces from the beginning to the end of his career...in just 36 years of life. He became too powerful and inspiring to be alive in this world, Babylon had to eliminate him...somehow. Yet his music remains and his Spirit lives in the hearts of those who love him.

So much things to say about Bob.

@40:30 Did he just say Rastaman Vibration wasn’t a good album?🤦🏻‍♂️ What is he on?! War, Rat Race, Positive Vibration, Roots Rock Reggae, and Crazy Baldheads are all on that masterpiece!!

Bob never died he multiplied, Marley 's music lives forever

Good to hear Don Taylor bigging up Bob. Don took his beating for stealing from Bob and he still supports the truth of Bob Marley.

Don Taylor gets da slap around the ears from Bob for charging to much money for concert in Africa

I took exception to something said about Rastaman Vibrations. There's a guy saying it wasn't very good. I admit it's not in MY top 3. Anyway, the reason the guy gave, revealed something about the album that made me love it more. the black man with the 'plummy' English accent said the album was compiled at Bob's mother's Miami home around 1974. I enjoyed realising why some of the songs on the album were related to Bob's earlier experience in Delaware (with his mother). Night Shift (about his work ethic, rare in the Caribbean), Positive Vibration (about his growth as a Rasta), Rat Race (urban life), Cry To Me (Rita infidelity), War (Bob missed HIM in Jamaica). Bob is a true artist.

Will always love bob, Always !

We love you Bob Marley respectful to you for rever

Kaya was a beautifully recorded album even though there were remakes on them. These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. And Exodus was not his best album; Survival was his best album. “Rastaman Vibration” has the best recording or sound.

The truism of his messages and the simplicity of his living immortalizes his essence.

Music is Power! ++++++

That toe injury stuff is bullshit. How many people die as a result of a toe injury? Cancer spreading from one’s toe then throughout one’s entire is utterly ludicrous. Also, this black guy with glasses talking nonsense about “Rastaman Vibration” “Kaya” & “Survival” albums not being good albums, clearly doesn’t understand reggae and rastafari.

It is amazing how after a prophet transitions people claim to know them. It is impossible. One can only speculate. Natural Mystic

Lloyd Bradley is very much out of touch with reality. Survival was the 1st cassette tape i got from a friend who told me to check it ot. I was hooked. 45 years later im still hooked. Bradleys mjnd is too shallow to even understand the music Bob made. Crawl back under your rock dude.

Interesting documentary, I really enjoyed the content, Thank you for sharing!!! Lloyd Bradley is an author not a listener, he critiqued "Rastaman Vibration" as "it wasn't very good!" based on his claim that the album was released too soon after "Live at the Lyceum" proves his judgement was made on marketability alone and not the popularity of the album and the growing audience and listeners of Reggae music at the time. Not to be taken seriously, his stand point has a degree of being a bias and amateur opinion and should be treated as such in comparison to someone who actually recorded/performed with Bob that would've offered a more professional and in-depth synopsis. Music Journalist Chris Salewics himself called the album "Rastaman Vibration" his (Bob's) best album yet taking reference from the lyrics of tracks such as "Positive Vibration" and "War" and Haile Selassie's speech at the United Nations in 1968, something of which Bradley failed to acknowledge. I personally love the album, the recording is thick with analog rawness and personally one of the best sounding recorded albums since "Catch A Fire", something about it just stands out to me, it might possibly be the meaning behind the writing and the lyrics in relation to his life at that time, or the heartbeat of which sits so tightly in the pocket of the rhythm section of Carlton and Aston. The album is a truly outstanding studio recording with the likes of it's vocal, musical performance, and engineering. The introductory track "Positive Vibration" has one of my favorite basslines by Aston 'Familyman' Barrett of which I performed a cover version (Babylon by Bus version) of the tune. Peace ✌

Mr Marley !

THE BMW SAY WHAT U WANT & WANT WHAY U SAY. Always Be True to Self.

Very good, good explaining,, ❤️

Also, back in the eighties it was said he had approximately twenty children from multiple woman, and he died from lung cancer from too much pot. Back then with no social media it was pure rumour based. Regardless..he was outstanding.

I think dude that say he don't like rastaman vibration is delusional

This guy shouldn't be talking. Survival is a great album

Bob M. was cast in Arthur 2 On The Rocks but turned down the role of Rasta Guy when he passed away

Dada cooi papa Bob klng to God I in klng to music 🎵🙏❤️💛💚🎸🎸🎤🎤🦁🦁🌴🌴🆒🆗🌏🇬🇭✅

What is don taylor talking about bunny and peter didn't mean what they said ? Him no understand himself.

This documentary didn’t need Lloyd Bradley. Anybody who would criticize the Rastaman Vibration and Survival album can never claim to know Nesta

Wow 😮, Lloyd Bradley, to say members of the band would not be recognised if they walked in the room, what a stupid arse statement to make, the Wailers were the biggest band in the world in 79-80. Can’t believe this guy said that & I purchased his book many moons ago.

Don Taylor is an idiot and was a terrible manager for Bob. Thankfully it was short lived, but so was Bob's life and unfortunately that was a pivotal time. Chris Blackwell gets a lot of shit but he really did an amazing job with those first few albums. The later stuff never quite hit the same way, but I still love the entire catalogue. It's life changing music.

He did so much at 36. Am 40 and still hasn't done that much

In the biginng it was wailers ! Dont distort !

Ziggy look good asf in this video

I love to see these white middle class men tie themselves into knots to explain Bob's personality and patois 😂 And how far removed Bob, Peter and Bunny were from English lifestyles and them arguing over the snow and whether to go home. And knowing Bob's father was an Englishman. Bob was definitely a Jamaican through and through. And how they weren't fully appreciated at the start and how they had to believe in themselves and their personality shone through till people had to 💘 them

A Son of Afrika They thought they could stiffle our imagination.

Isn't this the Manager that got beat up for stealing?? Don Taylor? Or someone else?

I beg to differ on 'Rastaman Vibration' being said to be not a good album. Being a Bob Marley fan from the release of the 'Natty Dread' album when I was at the age of 8,in my opinion there has never been a bad Bob Marley album and I know I'm not being biased. Personally not even taking into consideration that the album did favourably well on the US chart which indicates a breakthrough, I remember at that age enjoying every song on that album and my favourite was the title track and sang along to every song on there,the lyrics to each song was included on that LP.

Bob was lovely but had a tough life and didn't think people would be that wicked when he was trying to unite people. When he had any and anyone coming up to his 56 Hope Road residence with his wife and children. He welcomed anyone to his detriment. This is why when some people succeed, they move on. Too many crabs in a barrel. But didn't Bob's family come with him when he moved to London? His daughter Cedella went to where he lived after he died but if she'd lived there with him, it wouldnt be new to her. Also, Cindy coming to his house or living not far from him, when he had his family there? Definitely agree people know Exodus the most but they know a lot of his other songs not from the album. But people say it wasn't a football injury, it was a spiked boot. What kind of tackle would that be?

hmm

It should be interesting to see One love. They show him cutting off his hair, which this did not mention.

Bob was a great artist however I believe had he not promoted the Rastafarian religion and believed that emperor Haile Sellasie was Jesus Christ who died in 1975, Bob would of lived a longer life. He died in 1981 in Miami hospital and accepted Jesus Christ as his SAVIOR in the end and was baptized by the Ethiopian Coptic Christian church.

Damm were the volumes for this video damn 🤬😠😡😤😮☹

Rastaman Vibration wasn’t very good, really Lloyd Bradley, Sorry Lloyd your wrong.

I don't understand Don Taylor is doing an interview in this footage when he died at the age of 56 years old.
