Unfortunately nothing to listen to, yet (but see below link), but here is a recount of that hot July day Bob Marley played Boston - Harvard Stadium, Cambridge, actually.

Amandla (http://midnightraverblog.com/2012/01/17/bob-marley-conquers-boston-amandla-1979/) (link to article describing the shoestring day festival in detail)
EDIT: (See long audio segment at bottom of web page)

Poodles was there. What a (long) day... the Marley set must have 30 people on stage!

Before that, Patti Labelle did a fantastic set.
I really wish I could thank her in person, some day, as it still warms my heart, 30-odd years later.

Groundskeeper concerned about the grass had no idea..!

I do hope, like many, apparently, that the video footage gets released.
