Bob Marley & The Wailers - Natty Dread - Manhattan Center, NYC - June 21, 1975 (Unedited)

Описание: This was the hardest edit what I created for the fans. And it looked very good 😪❤

"Natty Dread" is a song by Bob Marley And The Wailers, released in 1974 as the title track of their album Natty Dread. The song is iconic within the reggae genre and a key part of Bob Marley's rise to international prominence.

The term "Natty Dread" refers to a man with dreadlocks, a symbol of the Rastafarian movement, which was central to Marley's music and beliefs. In the song, Marley embraces the image of the "Natty Dread" as a symbol of freedom, resistance, and spiritual strength. The lyrics convey a message of pride in one's identity and a call for unity in the face of adversity.

Musically, "Natty Dread" is built on a groove that blends reggae's rhythmic foundation with a broader, more expansive sound. The track features vibrant instrumentation, including the rhythmic guitar of Marley himself and the infectious rhythm section, which became signature elements of the Wailers' sound. The song helped solidify Bob Marley And The Wailers as global icons of not only reggae music but also as voices for social and political change.

The song and that album represent a pivotal moment in Bob Marley's career, as he began to incorporate more global influences into his music and solidify his role as an ambassador for Rastafarian culture and social justice through his art.

Note: This is the unedited version of this performance at Manhattan Center, because in the "Marley" documentary (2012) it was heavily edited with only 4 minutes. In fact it was 8 minutes longer.
Because the entire concert was filmed by it self.
Plus I make the quality much better like you watching it on a cinema 😍
