Where is THIS music today in the reggae world? Gone are the days of playing music with integrity and purpose.

This was my first of seven years to trek to Jamaica specifically to attend and photograph Reggae Sunsplash Festival. 83, 84 and 86 through 90. I took between 1200 and 1500 photos of each festival and audio taped every note of the last three of those years. RASpect and LOVE to all the promoters and performers, and especially the Jamaican PEOPLE who made it so special!
Did you do any work of the 1st and only time REGGAE SUNSPLASH played in KINGSTON ( REGGAE SUNSPLASH 3 ) at the RONNIE WILLIAMS CENTRE near JAMAICA HOUSE.??????

Walking down memory lane! My dad had this & reggae sunsplash '81 on VHS. He would play it every weekend and during the week when he was at work my siblings and I would watch it again. Aawww memories...
Nothing like staying up all night for 5 days straight watching one great act after another, year after year. Thank you and RIP to Tony Johnson and Synergy for these blessings!

R.I.P Sugar Minott, I was born in the year 2000 and never got the chance to go and see you perform live but I I know that on that bright morning when this life on Earth is over I will get to witness you in heaven and hopefully hear your voice face to face. REST IN PEACE to one of the greatest performers to step on this Planet🙏🏾❤️💛💚
Jah bless, thank you for getting me noticed about his name. I got shocked when I heard him but I didn't know his name so thank you and I hope that Sugar Minott is in the presence of the Most High JAH RASTAFARI
Jah bless the place, I hope that in this days it could be other reggae festival similar as Reggae Sunspash Festival. Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading this gem to TH-cam, Jah bless I &I give thanks!

Wow, thanks! I remember watching this on a local PBS station back in the day. Kept trying to find that first song that's always stuck with me. This is solid stuff.

@0:21 the trumpet player blows his part and plays one quarter note pop too early and the trombone player just loses his shit, its hilarious to me because Ive done that same thing. Played a note just one measurable amount too early and had band members give me the side eye. Ah yes, what a great introduction. This gonna be a good one!

A lot of younger people will see a video like this and think that image quality in TV and video used to be really low resolution, but it's only because the original film was transferred to a VHS tape. If you saw it broadcast on TV, it would have good resolution. Anyway, just something to put out there in case you weren't alive in the 80's and thought that was the case. But as for the music, well this was a great time in Jamaican music (the early 80's) when it was the Rub-a-dub era.

For those who remember my posts asking for help with recognition of that percussion instrument which appears in the choruses of "96 degrees in the shade" by the Third World, and for anybody interrested, i have finally found the answer! :) The instrument is called Flexatone (or Flex-a-tone... that doesn't really matter). Good luck everyone! Jah bless!
go listen to some proper reggae mate coz that was a load of bollocks, when i think of how amazing the reggae music scene was at the time i cant believe how bad the selection of artists/music on this video is

It's out there, and it's just as revolutionary...you just have to have your ear to the pavement. Not so easy as you get older

Today commercialized reggae or ragga is all about sex,drugs and guns.we are dismayed as conscious music lovers

You got that right, even when it was 6 days. Do you have the reggae Sunsplash BOOK? It's great and I have it listed on ebay.
The Reggae Sunsplash book lists every performer of every night of every show and also is loaded with photos. I sell author signed new copies.

This is my all time reggae elixir. Everyone who listen to this gets hooked. I guess it wont be too public until theres no need to share rev.
Great Video. Great memories of the 80's in JamDown.

"Cannon" was a youth then, and a dear friend then and now
Wow.. what a good find! By chance caught the Gil Scott Heron set! Amazing
I wonder why Chalice didn't become the big band in west. Looks decent roots band.
Great memories. RIP Mikey Smith RIP GIL XOXO
I sure enjoyed seeing Alton Ellis . RIP my brother. This was a gem to see
I was ready to give up~ during the Quarantine 2020...and then Brother Gil started to Pray about the Bottle and I felt fine with my Wine
One of a Kind, stage show, known for not being known, and a group that every, musician, will watch. I cyan hear the bass.. cha.
Esse é um evento que garanto 0% brigas 0% músicas depravados, te leva a um estado de paz tremenda!
Eu já fui na república do reggae aqui em salvador posso afirmar o que você esta falando.
