Smile Jamaica Concert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Smile Jamaica Concert was a historical concert held on December 5, 1976, at the National Heroes Park, Kingston, Jamaica, performed by Bob Marley & The Wailers. Only days before Marley had almost been killed by gunmen in his house, but survived and was driven up in the Blue Mountains. Nevertheless Marley agreed to perform one song for the 80,000 people in attendance, but it turned into a whole 90-minute performance despite his injuries.
After the concert Marley left Jamaica for London where he stayed for 14 months until he returned in 1978 for the One Love Peace Concert.
