    am a die-hard fan of steel pulse, i have followed and loved pulse all the way..... Steel Pulse has evolved, metamorphosed....the stage of ladysingers, stage of hornsmen, two keyboardsmen etc,,,,,, but i tell you,,,,this original set up, the deliverance, the spirit, the vibe, the show, if i dare say surpasses all. do you feel so too?

      Certainly agree. I've been into SP since 81 with Harassment the first track i heard from them and loved it. But like so many acts everyone has their peak and will I always appreciate them for their sensational contribution to Reggae.. Iyah!

    Too bad this live performance was not sold as a LP and distributed widely. This is the best Steel Pulse recording I have ever heard. That edgy, raw, and rootsy Reggae sound is captured perfectly here. Bravo!

    Ah yes, Steel Pulse. I've probably seen more Steel Pulse concerts than any other reggae act. Why? They toured extensively with punk bands and were embraced by skinheads in England. In the late 70's in Britain the roots reggae sound took hold. The most famous groups, The Cimarons, Aswad, Misty In Roots, Black Slate, Matumbi, Capital Letters, Steel Pulse and the great poet/singer Linton Kwesi Johnson all gained prominence at that time. Their importance cannot be overstated, For the first time absolutely first class reggae was being played outside Jamaica. Make no mistake about it--these groups took a backseat to no one. You have only to watch this tremendous Steel Pulse concert, with its super sound quality. They're playing songs from their first three groundbreaking albums, Handsworth Revolution (1978) Tribute to the Martyrs (1979) and Caught You (1980) On a personal note, I remember the time I bought Handsworth Revolution, taped it and brought the tape and a boombox to Washington Square park in New York City. I usually sat with the Jamaicans in the park. When I pushed play on the boombox all heads turned towards me. No one had heard reggae like this before---Steel Pulse had a unique sound. Terry Wilson, who happened to be in the park that day and would later became host of the famous Midnight Ravers show on WBAI (he still hosts it), made me play the tape three times over. Yes, Steel Pulse is one helluva a band and treasure in reggae music.

      "Midnight Ravers" with Terry Wilson and then "Labbrish" with Habte Selassie. The first two reggae radio shows I found the first week I arrived in the States from London 1980. Then Gil Bailey got started on WLIB. "Irie Ites" records, Tompkins Square Park and Washington Square Park. Good memories.

    Vintage Steel Pulse. Fantastic. Thats when Steel Pulse really moved the "musical pulse" around the "musical beat" and exchanged them too creating a totally new sound and feel within or on top of the Reggae beat.

    Best live small venue concert that I've ever seen! Such a crisp sound at an early stage of the group. David's voice is as clear as is on the album. And the background lyrics are sung simultaneously as the lead vocals, but the lyrics are different. Very complicated songs to perform. Loads of practice. Simply Awesome!

    • @tfreeman6487
      @tfreeman6487 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Randy Elliott David Hinds is one of the most underated lyricists of our time! His lyrics are profound and deeply moving. Steel Pulse had such polish, even on their earliest albums. They were tight and always on. I've seen them live 6 times from 1989 - 2012 and they are and always will be one of the greatest bands of any genre. Irie ites!

    • @rannluvv
      @rannluvv 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I've seen Steel Pulse about 15 times since 2000 between NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC, VA, and Florida. Hinds' voice is always studio crisp. The band sharp and tight. 1 of the 3 best live bands I've personally ever seen MUSICALLY. The other 2 being Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Rush!

    • @lawrencenjawe1935
      @lawrencenjawe1935 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      "Complicated songs to perform and produce" indeed! There has always been a level of sophistication to Steel Pulse's music (both lyrically and musically) right from the early days while keeping it strictly roots. And I appreciate them for it.🎸🎤🎼🔊🔊🍀🍀

    • @wadadli2manuk
      @wadadli2manuk 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Excellent observation ,first class yet not just white fans.They think they have to do it to attract the "rock crowd in the USA and west". Yet look how modern groups are trying their damned hardest to recreate the roots sounds of the early bands from the 60's70's or even pre 70's to be taken seriously. This is happening worldwide ,Argentina France Europe Chile Spain South East Asia USA . No disrespect to these guitarists , we just respect the "revolution in awareness and truth of authenticity" .Authentic Roots. Peace and Respect.
