Peter Tosh 1976 ..

Hi dear readers,

While studying Peter Tosh , specifically the year 1976 , we found out that Peter Tosh was on schedules for 3 events and was at a concert in NYC.

Note that the fact the performances were planned do not mean that they really took place, it’s a long process to verify if an event was really done.

At Midnight Raver we do all by passion, without acces to big vaults or so, nothing came easy, its a long work, but it’s being pure passion 🙂

Glen, Doug, Joe, Michael will surely agree on this :).

Here for you 3 dates from 1976 :

1976-02-XX Club Roots, Chela Bay Hotel, Boscobel, Jamaica

The first one we wanna mention , was a performance meant to be done at the Roots night club , inside the Chela Bay Hotel , in Boscobel.

Here are adverts with Peter Tosh mention :

All originals adverts came from the Kingston Gleaner, circa 1976.

we do have checked the concerts schedules for this month but still cant find anything proving that Peter Tosh really played there.
