Too bad ... but still ...

Who banned in October 1981 following the 9th Rocknacht the WDR under the sign of Rockpalast, will remember the remarkable performance of Black Uhuru, during the period, together with the legendary rhythm section Sly and Robbie (drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare) probably played their best occupation. A wonderful, dynamic and driving reggae concert at its finest. Connoisseurs could set the tone then even listen and record simultaneously in stereo over the radio (FM), leaving roar their system or half the house, specialists have the stereo-radio sound recorded synchronously on their SVHS recording. You remember ... what times ....

Unfortunately, this concert has never been published by the WDR as DVD ... a pity! Too bad more so than many others the Rockpalast Concerts have come out already in remastered, really good picture quality even when double-DVD and additionally on a CD. Their processed sound that usually originates from the master tapes, I would have also welcomed by Black Uhuru.

This probably unofficial "production", if one can call it that, precisely contains this Rockpalast concert. Point. Not more. It's listenable, apparently untouched, more of a bootleg. And it is practically mono, a proper stereo effect, I could not perceive! After rights we will not ask dear. Rather for collectors and all those who hold desperately and without regard to sound and production for this performance out because their old bands now give nothing. Maybe what's Auto. After all, it does not sound worse than the TV sound back then ...

But how nice would it official and remastered Rockpalast version in picture and sound ... well, hope dies last!

(2 or 3 stars, that is the question! Ok, the benefit of the doubt)
