Editorial Review: Amazon.com Essential Recording: Bob Marley's second live album, 1978's Babylon by Bus, had to be pretty damned good to match the incandescence of 1975's Live!. But with glorious performances on songs like "Punky Reggae Party," "Jamming," and "Is This Love?" Bob Marley and the Wailers came close to equaling Live!. Maybe there wasn't quite the same amount of inspiration, but the Wailers had matured into a tight unit, and Marley was a charismatic performer, as this set captured only too well. And with Marley still at the height of his writing powers, there definitely wasn't a dud song in the bunch. Not so much bus travel as limousine listening, this specially remastered edition makes the glory of the original release even clearer. --Chris Nickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Everything is better by "Bus"Bob Marley and I go way back, to the early 80s to be exact. I owned "Bus" first as a double album, then replaced them with a CD as one era was ending and another began. NOW, my first CD wore out and I had to - once again - find a replacement. You know what? it just keeps getting better and better. Call it maturity, call it leaps in technology, I love this collection of live songs, no matter the format. Rating: - Can't believe I did not buy this earlier!It is true as most reviewers say: This is Marley at his best. I already owned for over 10 years Burning, Catch a fire, Exodus, and those earlier versions albums, you know: Duppy conquerer, Kaya and such. The first time I heard this album I wanted to kill myself for not listening to it earlier. I have Black Uhuru's live in 84, Burning Spear's Garvey and his ghost, some Steel Pulse, Peter Broggs and so many other Rootz Reggea artists and I'll tell you this album is not only the best Reggea album I have ever listened to (Yes, I've heard Live), but probably the best Live album by any artist I have ever heard. Just the begining of it it's awsome, he gives his praises to Jah and BOOM! Rastaman Vibration, no intro no nothing, he gives the crowd ... Read More: Rating:  - too uptight for ReggaeI am a huge Bob Marley and old school reggae fan. However, I did not like this cd because it is too fast-paced. Don't get me wrong, I like faster songs, when it is hip hop or something. But when it is Reggae, no... I have most of these songs on other cds, and love them. But this version just sounds like they are racing through their usual material instead of that slow, "yeah mon, it's all good" kind of vibe. I can't even believe I am not giving a 5 star review to anything he created,understand that. Rating: - Even better than Live!, which takes a lotA famous live album that deserves every accolade it has ever received. If you're looking for rock-solid, often amazing renditions of the classics, which were great to begin with, go here. The songs here have a funk edge that wasn't heard on the original studio album ("Positive Vibration"; "Punky Reggae Party"; "Concrete Jungle"), and they take risks with the arrangements, including a keyboard solo on "Stir it Up" and even a drum break on an overly trippy "Exodus". Lead guitarist Al Anderson also proves his mettle on several tracks, including "Concrete Jungle"; "Lively Up Yourself"; "Is This Love?"; "The Heathen" and "Rebel Music (3 O'clock Roadblock)". The solos on "Concrete Jungle" are particularly interesting, since they sound like Caribbean ... Read More: Rating: - EPIC Live AlbumThia cd/album is legendary. The best live reggae album.
