His best. Period.
If you compare the studio versions of these songs with the live versions, the live versions win out every time. Peter Tosh's studio albums don't match the intensity and energy showcased on this live album. The only songs I skip when I listen to this album are "Get Up, Stand Up" (its like a rock n' roll version that doesn't do it for me) and "Intro: Creation/Buk-In-Hamm Palace" (pretty annoying if you listen to it more than once). Every other song is amazing. My favorite on the album and my favorite overall Tosh song is this version of "Pick Myself Up. " It's absolutely beautiful. All the rest of the songs are great too. You see the other reviews. This isn't a conspiracy, the album is just that good.


Wonderful remix of classic Peter Tosh
I have been slowly rebuilding my library. I had lost touch with the many of my old favorite Peter Tosh recordings during the world's transition from vinyl to digital devices. So, I have owned this album on vinyl for 20 some years, I was blown away by the new version. More political commentary by Peter than I remember and outstanding renditions of all of the songs.

I highly recommend this album.


'Rastafari Is'
I don't know who the best musician is, the choice is subjective. I realized I haven't written any reviews for music and this is an artist I've been listening to from my earliest beginnings. But Peter Tosh to me is the greatest ever. 'Rastafari Is' (the live version) and 'Not Gonna Give It Up' off the 'Mama Africa' album are the two greatest songs ever made. Music like any other medium is directive. The Orisha Tosh directs us to righteousness, intelligence and upfullness. Buy the cd and the concomitant dvd.


Hands Down the Best Live Album of All Time
But, this truly is the best. Once Again, a broad claim. Before My personal Favorite was "It's Alive" by The Ramones (With "Where's the 10 1/2" by Black Flag coming in a close second) but this album blows both of those away. I personally always preferred to Peter Tosh to Marley after the Wailers, and this is one of the reasons why. The actual sound is incredibly crisp, clean, and sounds better than in the studio. Now most of the time, I don't believe in live albums being superior in any way to recordings- there very rarely is any extra energy in live recordings. This is one of the exceptions. You can almost cry when you ear the beautiful, passionate energy coming out of his speakers. An essential to any Roots Reggae compilation.


Complete Captured Live "AWESOME"
Tosh was ahead of his time. This DVD is awesome! Tosh is the at his best live! His voice is like no other. I thought it was awesome that he spoke his mind. It was such a loss to the world when this guy was killed.
