Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Bob Marley se enriquece con este doble álbum en directo, que captura la energía y la mística de sus conciertos de finales de los setenta. 'Babylon By Bus' funciona como un testimonio del poder de Bob Marley & The Wailers como una de las bandas en vivo más formidables del planeta. Las interpretaciones aquí son a menudo más largas, rápidas y enérgicas que sus contrapartes de estudio. La interacción con el público es palpable, creando una atmósfera de celebración y unidad comunal.
Clásicos como "Punky Reggae Party" o "Jamming" adquieren una nueva vida y una intensidad arrolladora. Por otro lado, el álbum demuestra la increíble destreza de la banda The Wailers, una máquina rítmica perfectamente engrasada. Es un documento sonoro esencial que transporta al oyente directamente al corazón de un ritual rastafari liderado por su profeta más carismático.
