Toots and the Maytals 1/10/1980

In honour of Toots who died yesterday I thought I ought to remind myself of the one gig I saw of his at Brighton Top Rank in 1980. One oddity about this gig was the live album that was available at the gig (and of which I bought a copy) which was a recording of the London gig two days earlier. Apparently only a thousand were pressed so I have a rarity. I also recorded the gig at the Top Rank - I am going to have to search through my cassette tapes and have a listen. I remember a high energy performance, reggae at its earthiest. I remember 'Pressure Drop' of course and 'Get up stand up' but the rest is a blur. If he played the same set as at the Hammersmith Palais then he also played 'Sweet and Dandy' and 'Monkey Man'and 'Funky Kingston'. When I find my tape I may know better.
