Let’s chat some serious musical sh!t now.

Aside from the fact that the headliners here on “Get Up, Stand Up” are all big name artists (authentic giants of reggae, in other words), what makes this particular performance special? What is there about this performance that would make one get up and say, “Wow!”? I would venture to say, “Nothing whatsoever”!

The only reason why I’d watch this video a second time is Dean Fraser’s jazz-influenced solo. His rapid-fire notes, some played in the upper register, certainly added to this performance, although Sly’s heavy handed echo-influenced “rolls” during the solo almost served as an unwelcome distraction a couple times.

While I certainly respect Steel Pulse, Dennis Brown, Ini Kamoze, Aswad, and Sly & Robbie, simply put, there’s nothing special whatsoever about this particular performance!

now I am not even close to being a musical expert like some of you, Gamma, Historian, Islandman etc. but this was one of my favourite reggae chune for it's instrumental backing and arrangement. Boom chune dat!!! Selecta Gamma fling doen annedda one!!!!

You may be surprised to find that I agree with you from a musical perspective.

I just found it to be unique in the sense that I had never heard of Steel Pulse and Aswad performing together (not surprising as they are bands) . I have always wondered what kind of relationship they had with each other.

My guess is that it was the last act of the concert and they were all getting on-stage to do the song. There is always a certain vibe about that. I know D Brown used to like to do that at Sunsplash, with people like Gregory, Maxi, Freddie, etc. Ususally it was more a vibes thing than anything technically excellent in terms of music.

What is your favourite Pulse song?

Hard choice but if pressed I would go with Bodyguard followed by the less well known Wild Goose Chase from the Earth Crisis album. Has a wikid bass line too.

[Gamma]

that tough but "worth hi weight in gold" (rally round the flag) and babylon the bandit...honourable mention not king james version and love walks out

[Islandman]

Me forget King James version! Move it ahead of Wild Goose Chase to #2 for me!
