Talk:Live! (Bob Marley and the Wailers album)

Lyceum Ballroom or Rainbow?
As I discovered that the cover of the DVD "Live! at the Rainbow" is the same as the cover of this album called "Live!", I'm wondering if this album has been really recorded at the Lyceum Ballroom or at the Rainbow. Does anybody know anything more? -- CdaMVvWgS 20:29, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * The "Live!" album was recorded at the Lyceum Ballroom in 1975, while "Live! at the Rainbow" is a show from 1977. The photo should be from the Lyceum show, so I guess they used it on the cover of the DVD just because it's a nice photo. Teklund 21:05, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * I was just digging around on this issue and found that the well-known Live! album is from a concert at the Lyceum on July 19, 1975 and from a tour in support of Natty Dread.


 * Live at the Rainbow is an entirely different concert, which is the one out on DVD, and was from a June 1977 concert at London's Rainbow Theater in support of Exodus.


 * Seeing as how this article is about the Live! LP/CD, not the DVD, I'm going to correct the article as it says in the main part that this was recorded at the Rainbow (but says the Lyceum in the sidebar). If I'm wrong of course edit it back, and if anyone's monitoring this, is there any news on the double disc Deluxe edition?  IvyGold (talk) 18:44, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Was really the majority of the songs were recorded during the 17 July performance?
I quote a magazine:

Brown: Chris had wanted to get a live album pretty much as soon as we finished Burnin’. We recorded two nights. The first night, the stage was invaded, the big doors at the back of the Lyceum got forced, mics got kicked around. We didn’t really get anything useable. We went in early the next day to make things more robust. Pretty much the whole mix comes from the second night. Wikipedia says it’s from the first night? Wikipedia is notoriously wrong! It was definitely the second night. There was too much chaos on the first night.

 * Yes, all reliable sources say it was the second night with different reasons why. But definitely the second night. Yes, Wikipedia is notoriously wrong, but only when us editors allow unsourced statements to remain unchallenged. I've now corrected this. SilkTork (talk) 19:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
