  14. "Exodus"

Introductions

    * "Rastafari!!!...Allright!...We talk about a Trenchtown experience. Rastaman Vibration, Exodus...Island recording star Bob Marley & The Wailers !!!" - (???) during the intro jam
    * "Now, ladies and gentlemen, Bob Marley & The Wailers!!!" - (???) before "Jammin'"

Review

    * encore break after "Lively Up Yourself".
    * splendid AUD recording, only keyboards and Junior's guitar are somewhat low.
    * an audible and excited crowd that often sings along and shouts.
    * an inferior SBD version exists.
    * great "The Heathen" version.
    * almost 10 min version of "No Woman No Cry".
    * tape flip between "No Woman No Cry" and "Positive Vibration", that's why the latter probably cuts in.
    * encouraged by the crowd, the Wailers go into a nice jam during the second half of "Positive Vibration" while Bob improvises on top of it.
    * amazing 17-min version of "Exodus" (sound changes a few times, maybe a mix with the SBD version?).

Review

    * released on VHS and DVD as "Live! At The Rainbow".
    * parts of the SBD version were released on the Deluxe Edition of "Exodus".
    * the video source has applause samples between all songs. Because of those samples Marley's introduction before "Trenchtown Rock" which is shown on the "Rebel Music" documentary, the beginning tunes of "Them Belly Full" and "The Heathen", the final tunes of "The Heathen" and "Exodus", and Marley's intro before "No Woman, No Cry" are missing.
    * rare 1977 performance of "Trenchtown Rock".
    * only known 1977 performance of "Running Away" which wasn't officially released until 1978.
    * last show of the Exodus Tour which had been cancelled afterwards due to Marley's toe injury.
