Mikey Dread with UB40 - Roots and Culture 1983 

I met Mikey Dread at Blake's on Telegraph in hometown of Berkeley, California. I was only 21 so it must have been 2002. The band had no herb and their bass player asked me as I was walking by. I ended up spend the night kicking with them and Mikey dropped the same dope dub he's well known for in the small venue that was Blake's basement stage. One of the coolest nights ever. Rest in eternal love and peace Mikey Dread! Forever blessed in the grace of Jah. ❤️

I was at this gig, I cannot believe it was 26 years ago, Oh shite I feel old!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN' AN' KEEP ON SMILLIN' !!!

Great song, wish I was alive during the Golden Age of reggae...

Beautiful song, Mikey dread is roots my band Night Shift backed him up in the mid 80s and in southern cal and Tijuana

Amazing! The "false start", the dub-like break, everything about this is great. Mikey Dread out in front of UB40 is a genius collaboration.

He was a master on the mic!

Mikey Dread, no one better at the controls, a Legend in his time.

love the drummer singing

SAXOPHONE IS ALMOST THE BEST ON THIS CONCERT

You did your thing like no one else could,paved the way for many, you truly believed you could make a change, and you did. I will always remember you and the great days at JBC in Jamaica Tomlin

my god!!!!!!!!!!roots and culture yow.. badddddd

❤💛💚

Yes i. Irie !👌

EDIT...9 years later and I now have the whole thing YAY

@pberglin : Mostly they say/shout: 'Wheel......!!!' or ' Rewind !!!! ' . I think it comes originally from reggae-deejays (soundsystems) who really did rewind the tape / plate , then announce something again and then restart the song. This always gives some extra push-/powerfeeling to the song. This rewind-thing is totally accepted for bands in 'reggae-world' .

if you deal with war, you cant run far .... Mikey Dread seh suh. booom

YES

GREETINGS AND RESPECK FROM EARTH

great great great bless ya

"That Happens to Be A False Start, Well here come the right start" Makes me pull out those foundation soundsystem tapes

Anybody know a song Mikey Dread performed when he sang ''go to work on mon ... tue, wed etc then church on sunday ? I seen him do it in Glasgow but I've never been able to find out what it was. I even asked Mikey after a gig but don't think he understood Scottish (",)
