Bob Marley and the Wailers play the famed Maple Leaf Gardens on June 9, 1978, just several months after his historic performance at the One Love Peace Concert.

Bob Marley was interviewed by CCTV’s Sandie Rinaldo in a feature that originally aired on June 12, 1978.  As you can see, it was a very different world in 1978.  Whereas today Bob would be treated like a king wherever he would go, in his heyday he was often treated with disrespect because of his religious beliefs and appearance.

If they only knew then what we know now…
