Cliff is one of my favorite reggae artists, and probably one of those with appeal outside of the reggae world. I've been meaning to post a live album from him for ages, so it's a good thing that this festival forced me to do so.
Much like the Toots and the Maytals set earlier on the same day, it's a bit frustrating to me that some really key songs weren't played, such as "Sitting in Limbo," "Wonderful World, Beautiful People," and "You Can Get It If You Really Want." But he was really keen to play his newest music. He put out the album "Special" earlier in 1982. He played no less than eight of the twelve songs from that album, plus a couple more from his 1981 album.
This album is an hour and 26 minutes long.
