The Wailers in 2003 (at Northern Lights)

WOW. HOly fucking wow. I saw them last night in Clifton park, NY at Northern Lights and it was one of the sickest shows I've ever been to. They played 2-3 newer songs and then they busted into the old school bob and the wailers stuff. Songs I can remember include...
Natty Dread, One Love, Soul Shakedown Party, Small Axe, Three Little Birds, No More Trouble>Want More, Them Belly Full, Who Da Cap Fit, Iron Zion Lion, I Shot The Sheriff, Jammin, Want More, No Woman No Cry and a few others...

For the encore they played Redemption Song>Get Up Stand Up>Exodus. It was fucking spectacular.

I went into the show expecting some semi-decent original Bob Marley and The Wailers songs. I figured it couldnt be nearly the same as seeing Bob live (something I have never seen in person). But when I was enveloped by the positive vibration of the Wailers last night, I was blown away. Their lead singer is fucking amazing, he embodied the true spirit of Bob Marley. I closed my eyes during the middle of the show and I couldn't tell the difference between The Legend Live DVD (obviously featuring Bob) and the show I was at, other than the fact that the show was much more intense because it was live. Did anybody else get the chance to check out this show?

To be honest no. It was once or twice in a lifetime opportunity for me so I was just soking in the music. I took some shots before just to get a little buzz on but I wanted to remember this night. As they say 'True deadheads get high on music'.
