Bob Marley & The Wailers at Hoch Auditorium in Lawrence, Ks., on Dec. 6, 1979.
Bought a Wake Up and Live T-Shirt that evening. Tickets were $8.50. Had four tickets, but one friend didn't show up so there were just three of us--my best friend,
and my best girl.
This was the set list:
Positive Vibration
Wake Up and Live
Them Belly Full
I Shot The Sheriff
Concrete Jungle
The Heathen
Running Away
So Much Trouble
Ambush In The Night
Ride Natty Ride
Africa Unite
One Drop
Exodus
Encore:
No Woman No Cry
Lively Up Yourself
Jamming
Natty Dread
Is This Love
Get Up, Stand Up
According to the Kansas City Star article the following day under the heading Political Performer "Marley Moves Fans To Frenzy" with the photo caption reading "Bob Marley shows anguish during concert at the University of Kansas."
P.S. I also got to see Bruce Springsteen in 1973 in a fairly small club in Kansas City but I had no idea who he was. In truth about all I really remember was that the sax player rocked the place and I mean that place was rocking. Only went because my girlfriend's college dorm roommate was from...New Jersey. And since it was one of the first shows I ever saw in my young adult life I didn't realize how spectacular it was. Later I grew to appreciate most performers never reach such a fever pitch with their audiences.
