Neville O'Riley Livingston, founding member of The Wailers and the trio's only survivor, served up an authentic Kingston Jamaica experience both musically and physically.

Bunny Wailer transformed the Concorde into a shabeen of sweaty skanking bodies, the sold out crowd pressed together with just the occasional gust of a sea breeze squeezing through an open door for blessed relief.

On this hot hot night the 67 year old elder statesman and His Solomon Reggastra surfed the heavily scented atmosphere on the highest calibre roots reggae music.

Livingston, the quietest of the Wailers, was overshadowed by his childhood friend Bob Marley and guitarist Peter Tosh, and he left the band in 1973 just as things were taking off.

Three Grammys are a testament to his own songwriting skills and tonight the voice delivered his spiritual and political message with all its old strength and conviction.

Livingstone has his own political party, The United Progressive Party, but he lets his music doing all the talking. At the end of the 90 minute set bodies fell out from the sauna, but no one was complaining about the heat.
