My first ever concert was seeing Steel Pulse support Steve Gibbons Band at the open air amphitheatre at Cannon Hill Park.
Favourite reggae tracks
Double Barrell - Dave and Ansell Collins
Pied Piper - Bob and Marcia
Stir it up - Wailers
Johnny Was - Bob Marley
Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff
If I Can't Have You - Gregory Issaacs
Herbnan Hustling - Sugar Minnott
Man Twice My Age - Shabba Ranks
Welcome to Jam Rock - Damian Marley
Two Sevens Clash - Culture
King - UB40
Earth Dies Screaming - UB40
Jogging - Freddie McGregor
Although lots of reggae afficandos would turn their nose up at them, the first UB40 album was great. Started playing it a lot recently and it sounds spot on, the production by Bob Lamb (Steve Gibbon's drummer iirc) was fantastic.
Also Steel Pulse album Handsworth Revolution brings back many memories.
Forgot to mention General Saint and Clint Eastwood - Stop that Train and the Peter Tosh track of the same name is very good as well.
