'Bob Marley & The Wailers - Apollo Theatre 1979'

The Apollo, 125th Street, Harlem, New York

Over four days in late October, 1979, Bob Marley and The Wailers performed seven shows at the legendary Apollo Theater, marking the first ever reggae performances at the recently reopened Harlem venue.   Bob wanted to reach the African-American people and he liked the idea of an intimate setting, and the Apollo had it.

One of the Wailers told the NME at the time "The Apollo is an important part of black heritage, I can’t think of any major black international star who hasn’t played there at one point – Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, right from them people there to all the soul stars, everyone. That’s one reason Bob had to play there, to put him in that tradition for people to understand".
