Here is a classic Bob Marley and the Wailers performance at Manhattan Center, NYC, on June 21, 1975.  In addition to the fantastic lossless audio, we now have some video which can only be described as phenomenal.  As part of the ‘MARLEY’ documentary push in 2012, the Marley family had the video recording upgraded to high-definition, however, very little was actually featured in the film.  It was released as a special feature on the Blu-Ray DVD of ‘MARLEY.’  Thing is, as far as I know, it is only featured on the DVD release in Europe.  My DVD copy does not contain this footage.  It is the highest quality video footage of a Marley performance in existence.
