Bob Marley and the Wailers Kaya Tour Rehearsals, Criteria Studios, Miami, April 31, 1978

Today I am sharing an excellent audio recording of a Bob Marley and the Wailers rehearsal session that occurred on April 31, 1978 at Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, FL.  Just a week earlier, on April 22, 1978, Bob Marley gave one of his most legendary performances in his native Jamaica.  Having gone into exile for 14 months following an attempt on his life at his home at 56 Hope Road, Marley returned to the island to perform at the One Love Peace Concert.

The band is rehearsing for the US KAYA Tour, which kicks off in Ann Arbor, MI on May 18, 1978.
