Introductions

Review

    * AUD source 1 is one of the best sounding AUD recordings. It was
      recorded by a "deadhead" (a fan of The Grateful Dead).
    * AUD source 1 cuts out after "No Woman, No Cry" and cuts in back
      at the very beginning of "Jammin'".
    * AUD source 2 has slightly inferior, but still great sound and is
     complete as well. It features the very beginning of "Jammin'", but has a
     cut during "No Woman, No Cry".

Review

    * a recording surfaced in 2007 due to a lossy digital radio broadcast by
      Danish National Radio on occasion of the 2007 Roskilde Festival.
    * probably an audience recording, since the audience is very notable and
     the sound is a bit distant.
    * it is likely that songs which have been played on almost every 1978
    concert ("Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)", "War", "No More Trouble")
    as well as maybe a few others like "The Heathen", "Crisis" or "Lively Up
    Yourself" are missing.
    * "Positive Vibration" cuts out towards the end.
    * "Rebel Music" cuts in at the end.
    * "Concrete Jungle" cuts out at the beginning.

Review

    * this show was initially planned to be released on the Babylon By Bus
     album.
    * several show excerpts of various lengths have been broadcast on Dutch
     radios.
    * all the liberated bootlegs like "Jah Is Ready", "Rotterdam, Holland 1978"
    "Europe/USA 1978" or "Fight For Your Rights" have inferior sound quality
    because the right channel of the actual stereo recording had been
    extended to the left channel, making it an inferior mono recording. The
    radio broadcasts and one mislabeled bootleg have stereo sound, but are
    incomplete.
    * one radio broadcast included the opener Steel Pulse. All radio broadcasts are lossy.

    "Punky Reggae Party".
    * SBD recording and AUD source 2 is decent, AUD source 1 is good
    quality.
    * AUD source 2 covers the entire show.

     Marley before "Positive Vibration"

     rightful ruler! Easy Skanking! Excuse me while I light my spliff, good God,
