Roots, Rock, Reggae: Live at the Hammersmith Oden is a stunning, previously unreleased live album from Bob Marley, recorded over several nights during the Wailers' residency at London's prestigious Hammersmith Odeon in June 1976, during their Rastaman Vibration tour. Booking the venue was an audacious move, but Bob had newfound stardom from the U.K. chart success of "No Woman, No Cry," and an ecstatic crowd packed the place. Highlights include a transcendent title song, a rarely-performed "Bend Down Low," an extended version of "Crazy Baldhead," and a 30-minute encore that incorporates a 12-minute "Get Up, Stand Up." New liner notes by Marley associate Don Letts bring an eyewitness account to the experience, now available on black vinyl.

Andrew T. ★★★★★

The bass on this live pressing is so warm it practically hums through the floor. I've played the full four sides twice now and the mix holds up beautifully, especially the extended jams.

Aurora ★★★★★

The crowd noise on this Hammersmith recording actually gives me chills — you can hear the room reacting before the band even kicks in. Getting several nights from the same residency on two records means the versions don't repeat themselves, which I didn't expect.

Steven ★★★★★

The pressing is dead quiet between tracks, which really lets the crowd noise on "No Woman, No Cry" hit you. You can tell these takes were culled from several nights at the Odeon, the band locks in tighter on side two than side one. Genuinely didn't expect an unreleased live set to sound this good.
