1) Bend Down Low [3:54]
2) Lively Up Yourself [3:54]
3) Slave Driver [4:45]
4) Stop That Train [3:52]
5) Stir It Up [5:08]
6) Kinky Reggae [3:47]
7) Get Up, Stand Up [4:27]
8) E: Rude Boy [4:25]


Notes:
The Wailers began the Catch A Fire North American Tour with a trip to Ontario,
then a fourteen show run at Paul's Mall in Boston from July 9th - 15th. They
then hit the Big Apple for a fourteen show run opening up for Bruce Springsteen
at Max's Kansas City, Upstairs. There were two shows per night and three shows
on the weekend.

It is highly unlikely that these were the first US appearances by the Wailers,
as they apparently did a mini-tour of New York and the Northeast the previous
December around New Years. All three recordings we have from this run are most
likely mastered by the same recordist. Definitely two of the three sets appear
to be either the same night or two consecutive nights. My guess is that these
recordings were made at the soundboard, if not through it, either by the engineer
or someone associated with the venue. This lends high hopes to the existence and
survival of the remaining 11 sets.

This show has a great Stir It Up that begins with a terrific keyboard rhythm.
The Kinky Reggae that follows picks up on the same energy, as you get to hear
Peter Tosh and Joe Higgs on backing vocals. Joining in the energy, Aston Barrett
delivers a blazing bass line during Get Up Stand Up.


Flaws:
There is slight overmodulation and hiss throughout the recording.
t5 - 1:33 - Subsecond drop out
t8 - 0:47 - Subsecond static pop


Credits:
To Joey Newlander, aka cosmofone, for providing the compilation to be seeded
to Easytree for the Wailers fans out there. Respect!

This show contains a very rare live version of Don't Rock My Boat, originally
recorded in 1971 by The Wailers and Lee Perry, then later under the title
Satisfy My Soul on the Kaya album.


Flaws:
There is overmodulation and hiss throughout the recording.
t1, Bend Down Low : (4:34) click.
t2, Lively Up Yourself : (2:02) 2s drop out, (3:19) click.
t6-9, Decreased sound quality and clicks.
t7, Don't Rock My Boat : (1:24) drop out
t8, Get Up Stand Up: (2:08) drop out.

[6] Kinky Reggae [3:59]


Notes:
This set has been in circulation at least eight years longer than the other
two sets which circulate.

The Wailers began the Catch A Fire North American Tour with a trip to Ontario,
then a fourteen show run at Paul's Mall in Boston from July 9th - 15th. They
then hit the Big Apple for a fourteen show run opening up for Bruce Springsteen
at Max's Kansas City, Upstairs. There were two shows per night and three shows
on the weekend.

It is highly unlikely that these were the first US appearances by the Wailers,
as they apparently did a mini-tour of New York and the Northeast the previous
December around New Years. All three recordings we have from this run are most
likely mastered by the same recordist. Definitely two of the three sets appear
to be either the same night or two consecutive nights. My guess is that these
recordings were made at the soundboard, if not through it, either by the engineer
or someone associated with the venue. This lends high hopes to the existence and
survival of the remaining 11 sets.


Flaws:
Decent sound, starts with a bit of warble, evens out after a few seconds.
There's a moderate amount of noise, but the signal is strong enough.
Sometimes the MAC was stopped between songs. At this point, it's not
clear why there are two Kinky Reggaes and which shows they came from.
t1 - 0:00 - warble for about 10 sec.
t1 - 1:36 - slight hiccup.
t1 - 4:02 - (L) channel drop out for 2 sec.
t5 - 0:00 - beginning is cut. So is the end.
t6 - 0:20 - 13 sec. of strange low freq. rumble.


Credits:
To the people.
