Live! was Bob Marley and the Wailers’ first international live album.
Island Records released Live! in 1975 after recordings made at the Lyceum Theatre in London in July 1975. The album captured the group during a period when Marley was becoming a major international concert performer.
Its best-known performance is “No Woman, No Cry,” which helped make the live arrangement especially famous. The album should not be confused with Babylon by Bus, a later live album recorded during the 1978 European tour.
Live! is valued not only as a concert document but also as evidence of the Wailers’ stage power. The performances show how Marley’s songs changed in a live setting through audience participation, rhythm, and band interplay.
