6 Friday, December 7, 1979 University Daily Kansan UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Arts and Entertainment Marley's tropical beat warms KU Bob Marley and the Wailers, with special guests Patty Riley Riddim Band, presented a celebration of National Unity Activities Special Events in cooperation with Danny Scolos's Neo By DOUG HITCHCOCK Staff Writer It was hard to believe the early rumors of the US-Sponsored Bob Marley and the Wailers concert. Only last year, Marley had a concert at the Kissimmee club, a concert scheduled for Kansas City, Mo. But the rumors were true. Bob Marley and the Wailers took the stage at 8:45 and brought nearly two hours of some of the best music ever played to Lawrence. After a superlative 50-minute set by Lawrence's own Pat's Blue Rudim Ribbon, Marley and the Wailers laid into the near selout crowd with religious passion. Opening with "Positive Vibration" from their "Rastaman Vibration" album, Marley and his 10-piece band showed how to rock—Jamaican style. Boisterated by a seasoned rhythmic section, bonassing by the Barrett Carlton Barrell, his dorson on congas and Alvin Patterson on paddleboard, darry and his fury on pulleyball, darry and the fiery dorson, took the crowd through the melodic and rhythmic changes of majestic AUGMENTING THE guitars of Anderson, Murvin and Marley were the keyboard solos of Earl Lindo on the organ and John Ritchie on the zebster and Fender--Richard electric piano. Marley's two hour show included some of his best older songs, like "I Shot the Sheriff!" "Concrete Jungle" and "Lively Up One of the new songs, "Africa Unite," was sung by Marley with emotion and gut feeling Yourself," as well as songs off his newest release, "Survival." The group's music often protests the white power faction ruling the island of Jamaica MARLEY SHED his guitar for the remainder of the show. Thus freed, he danced and swaded around the stage, shaken, dark colls of hair, known as "dreadlocks." Behind the band, a portrait of Hailie Selassie, known by Marley and his fellow "Rastamster" as the Lion of Judah, occasionally was illuminated with bright, white backlighting. Selassie, farmer leader, has been a proponent of "Rastamster" to have been a prophet of God. The colored lights used most were red, green and gold—the colors of the Ethiopian flag. All of the references to Selassie and Ethiopia were reminders of Marley's dedication to his philosophy and music. NEAR THE end of the song, Marley bounded off the stage and his band soon followed. "Exodus," the title song from another recent Wailers' album, had the crowd on its feet, clapping, singing and cheering. The crowd stood and roared for nearly five minutes before the hand reappeared on stage. As the Wailers began to play "No Woman, No Cry," Marley returned and led the band through that song, then through "Mamma Mamma," "Nutty Dread" and "Is This Love." The encore was temporarily blenched by audio problems. But the sound creep soon had things under control and the show finished in top form.
