Rare Bob Marley performance footage from 1978 puts you in front row

Bob-marley-1978




LOS ANGELES — Three years before Bob Marley died of cancer at 36, the reggae legend charmed a lively crowd at Boston's Music Hall


Close your eyes and picture it. The year is 1978, and a sweaty Marley and The Wailers are already 10 songs deep when he transitions into "War."


A fan standing in the front row filmed Marley performing the Rastafari anthem; the lyrics are borrowed from a speech Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie delivered to the United Nations in the '60s. That unreleased footage is debuting here on Mashable.
