I have seen these brothers live 4 times in Chicago starting in 1979. That they could perform so close to the album recordings means that these men played CONSTANTLY, nonstop, eery day and night. This is whats called a work ethic.
Best live performance by the Pulse I ever seen. They strayed a while but back in 2015 I got to see them, expected nothing, and they played all the oldies and really well. This is on another level I wish reggae was still made with this kind of inspiration.
I was there on a beautiful day in August. The concerts at the Vondelpark were free. Was my first Reggae concert with many songs of Handsworth Revolution that was released in 1978.
@@lawrencenjawe1935 100%...I always say to Basil (founder & lead guitarist) I wish I was around in this era!!! Never get bored of watching them! Pure vibez ❤🖤💚
R.I.P. Grizzly! One of top drummers in Reggae! Handsworth Revolution, Tribute To The Martyrs and True Democracy albums are the definition of modern roots music.
Ik was pas 7, maar luisterde de platen van mama helemaal plat, en zij staat ook in het publiek... De liefde voor Reggae komt van mijn moeder, waar ik haar eeuwig dankbaar voor ben, wat een muzikale educatie ik heb gehad.... zou verplicht moeten worden... van jongs af aan luisteren naar echt GOEDE muziek.
One of the best live performances I've ever heard, regardless of genre. Wish I coulda been there in the flesh, born at least 20 years too late, but the music endures
I've seen Steel Pulse live and I've been to Vondel Park. Very cool setting for a cool band, would loved to have been there but I was 10 years old at the time and was more interested in the Incredible Hulk than reggae and european travel
"Stepper" McQueen on bass left the group after the "True Democracy" album and moved out here in SoCal and joined a local short lived band called Mongoose. Sad to see him go.
My lovely yes you've tricked me My lovely you disowned me Music that you're dancing to The music that you're dancing to QUE FINAL PARA MAS BRUTAL DIOS MIOOOO,ESA ES LA BANDA QUE LE GUSTABA AL GRAN BOB MARLEY

Ik was er jammer genoeg niet. Wel ze gezien in Edenhal Amsterdam vele jaren terug. 1 van de weinige survivers uit die tijd. David and bandmembers stay alive. Augustus op Reggaelake Amsterdam
Stepper screwed up! He moved to California and played with a local short lived band called "Mongoose". I saw this Steel Pulse lineup in Chicago in '81". The best!
hellobiafra, have you found out the reason? I would like to know too, Stepper`s handwriting was so distinct and so exceptional,.oh gush, his basslines defined the Steel Pulse sound.
Amazing how good they were able to sound outdoors. But didn't this set include "Prodigal Son"? I'm looking everywhere for a very particular live version. Love the way Grizzly finishes the percussion at the tail end of the bridge in that version, though it may not have been the one in this set. I thought it was part of this set marleyarkives.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/steel-pulse-live-at-ritz-theatre-nyc-august-13-1982-feat-al-anderson/?unapproved=102844&moderation-hash=facff63694ebf65a969809243ecfbf36#comment-102844 but apparently not. Very unique rendition, really miss hearing it
