Toots & the Maytals - BBC in Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-27-2010

Toots and the Maytals are one of a very few number of legendary reggae bands. They're actually credited in the Oxford English Dictionary for the word "reggae," due to their 1968 song "Do the Reggae." Lead singer Toots Hibbert mixed soul with reggae, and Rolling Stone Magazine lists him as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time.

Given all that, I wanted to post whatever BBC material they did, as part of my larger BBC project. I could only find this one show from relatively late in the band's career. (Hibbert died in 2020.) But this bootleg recording is a solid performance with all the big hits, and the sound quality is excellent. So here it is.

Apparently, Hibbert isn't one to waste words, because there's no banter at all between songs. Plus, the band barely gave the audience a moment to rest before launching into the next song. There's not much else to say except I don't think you need to be a die-hard reggae fan to enjoy this, since virtually all of these songs are well known classics of the genre.

This album is 58 minutes long.

The cover photo is from this exact concert. I used some Photoshop tricks to extend the background higher above his head. The band name font comes from one of their albums, but I squished it vertically to fit.
