Woodstock '94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, NY, 8-12-1994 to 8-14-1994 - Day 3, Part 9: Jimmy Cliff

The ninth album from Day Three of the Woodstock ‘94 Festival was a set by Jamaican reggae star Jimmy Cliff. 

Technically, this was billed as “Jimmy Cliff’s All Star Reggae Jam featuring Rita Marley, Eek-a-Mouse, and Shabba Ranks.” However, I listened to the set, and I watched most of the video of it on YouTube, and I didn’t see any sign of Marley or Ranks. Wow, since Marley was the wife of reggae, legend Bob Marley, I’m sure she would have been introduced at some point, but she was not. Eek-a-Mouse sang lead vocals on one song, “Love Me,” and participated in another song, the Bob Marley classic “One Love.” Furthermore, relatively unknown female vocalist at the time, Diane King, sand on two songs, “One Love” again, and also another Bob Marley classic, “Stir It Up.”

Other than that, it was a fairly long set, one of the longest of the entire festival, and Cliff sang most of it.

At the time, new albums weren’t getting much attention or sales. However, he had a big hit in 1992 with a cover of “I Can See Clearly Now,” which was one of the first reggae hits in the US back in 1972. Not surprisingly, he performed that near the end of this set.

This album is an hour and 42 minutes long.
