Which 1975 Bob Marley and the Wailers album includes “No Woman, No Cry”?

The story behind the answer

Live! is the 1975 Bob Marley and the Wailers album that includes “No Woman, No Cry.”

The album was recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in London on 17 and 18 July 1975. Its version of “No Woman, No Cry” became one of Marley’s best-known recordings and helped establish the song internationally. The live performance captured the communal energy that was central to Marley’s concerts.

Although the song had appeared earlier in studio form, the live rendition became the commercially important version. It was released as a single and became Marley’s first UK Top 10 hit. The song is often associated with Vincent “Tata” Ford, who received songwriting credit, while Marley’s performance made it a global anthem.

Live! is sometimes confused with Natty Dread, the 1974 studio album on which “No Woman, No Cry” first appeared. The question asks about the 1975 live album, whose defining version was recorded in London.
