Toots and The Maytals - Live (Live At Hammersmith Palais, London / 1980) '1980

Tracks list

       Album review

Anyone who had the pleasure of catching Toots and the Maytals live in the '70s
or '80s will attest to the fact that they didn't hesitate to go that extra mile
on-stage. Without question, they had one of reggae and ska's finest live shows
-- in fact, you could say that singer/leader Toots Hibbert was as tireless a
showman as James Brown or George Clinton. The band's vitality is beautifully
captured by this superb album, which came out in 1980, and documents a show at
the Hammersmith Palais. True to form, Hibbert spares no passion on performances
of hits that range from "Funky Kingston," "Pressure Drop," and "Monkey Man," to
"Get Up, Stand Up" (not to be confused with Bob Marley's song), "54-46, That's
My Number," and "Time Tough." Thankfully, there's plenty of documentation of
Toots and the Maytals' show.
