    ayebqfejwDecember 13, 2025United States🇺🇸

    First time grabbing one of these half speed mastering records, and I'm absolutely stunned! You'll notice the difference right away with this remastering. It's incredible how crisp every part of the performance sounds. The bass is spot on! Babylon by Bus was already a legendary live album, but now it might just be the greatest live album out there.

  • Live Marley Perfection

    4 out of 5 stars
    Uzaj_IDecember 9, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This album is a great collection of tracks from various Marley concerts that year. The guitar and keyboard performances are fantastic. The sound quality is also top-notch. Overall, it's just what you'd expect from a live album—perfect!

  • Solid Pressing, Impressive Audio

    5 out of 5 stars
    13dsxumpqrialNovember 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is quite solid, even though my copy isn't in the best shape (VG). The audio quality is impressive, with a wide soundstage and clear, undistorted vocals and instruments. The mix and overall sound quality are certainly better than average.

  • Scandinavian Live Magic

    5 out of 5 stars
    ZHRX04September 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Once again, the sound of these Scandinavian tracks is absolutely incredible. And the feel and vibe on this live album are just out of this world. I'm usually not a huge fan of live recordings - but this one is truly exceptional...
