JJ Grey and Mofro Live at Rockpalast (2015)

Screen Shot 2021-05-15 at 3.39.26 PM.png

From the Youtube page (via Google Translate):

“J Gray, whose lyrics go far beyond the familiar "My Baby Left Me" clichés, has an extremely succinct voice - and the ability to move with his songs. Both emotionally and physically. For almost 15 years John Gray Higginbotham aka JJ Gray has been trying to implement his vision of honest, handmade southern music - with Mofro he has found the ideal backing band.”

Bob Marley and the Wailers, Rockpalast (06/13/80)

unnamed (1).jpg

One of the fun parts of doing this music blog has been revisiting concerts that I first came across through tape-trading. I don’t know if you were ever part of that culture, but I have a lot of good memories and was privy to a lot of great music through the U.S. postal system. I once had stacks of tapes of CDRs that I wish I had kept. But sometimes life leads you in other directions and you revisit those memories through the Internet.

Today we’re re-visiting Bob Marley and the Wailers live for Rockpalast (06/13/80). I gave this CDR away several years ago during one of our moves, but I have kept digital versions of the show. Until just the other day, I didn’t know that video of the show existed (I know, I know, you all knew this video existed a long time ago). But it does and it’s worth your time.

  • Bob Marley & The Wailers at Westfalenhalle (06.13.80, Dortmund)
