Live In Chicago 1984 With Sly & Robbie : Black Uhuru

This disc is off of the Taxi label and released in 1984. Original Black Uhuru with Micheal Rose and backed by Sly & Robbie on tour. This disc has 11 tracks total, including: #1 Shine Eye Gal, #2 Plastic Smile, #9 General Penitentiary, and #10 Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Great sound quality for the live recording. Don't confuse this with "Black Uhuru - Live '84" witch has 13 tracks off of the Tabou 1 label and released in 2000. It also starts with Shine Eye Gal and Plastic Smile. Taxi has another Sly & Robbie backed live tour recording - a 2 disc 1986 tour with Yellowman, Ini Kamoze, and others. The Ini Kamoze portion includes a lot of material off his famous self titled debut album ( Ini Kamoze : Ini Kamoze ) . These discs give us the opportunity to hear these legendary musicians performing on tour in the prime time of their careers. It's classic material and it sounds great in concert.
