Melting walls

London, 1975: on the stage of the Lyceum, in an atmosphere of fire and hallucinatory hysteria, it is the official birth of the Marley phenomenon. Two concerts recorded on disc for the famous "Live", released today in its entirety as a triple album. Christmas 2016. One special edition follows the other. After the James Brown at the Apollo (volume 2) restored in triple album in all its frenetic splendour, it is the turn of another mythical concert to be published in its entirety. This one dates from the summer of 1975 and marks the birth of a planetary star in the humid heat of a London theatre of the West End whose 19th century director is said to have inspired the character of Dracula. Bob Marley's recording at the Lyceum, transformed into dancing, remains for many (including us) one of the greatest records in concert of all time.

Black Londoners don't often have the opportunity to heat up to one of their own music in a room of two thousand people, and whites are increasingly curious about this phenomenon that comes from an island in the Caribbean and sets fire wherever it goes. All mix and rub." What are the whites doing here tonight? Ask for a tough boy from the audience, they weren't here last time!" Bob Marley, who has just returned from a U. S. tour, is on the cover of Time Out, the concerts are archicomplete, the invitation request is huge." Even Jim Morrison wouldn't have had his own,"says a reporter from Sounds. The clamour of an audience on fire Inside, journalists compete with adjectives to describe the heat that keeps rising; it's so hot at 9:23 p. m., when Marley comes on stage, that the roof has been opened - how do you open the roof of a 19th-century theatre?" One has the impression of breathing through a wet blanket,"writes the special envoy of a daily newspaper," the parterre looks like a human swamp. The red lamps on the balcony shine with the sparkle of tropical flowers.
