Notes:	Dennis Brown - vocals Lloyd Parks - bass Winston "Bo-Pee" Bowen - rythm guitar Andy Bassford - lead guitar Franklin "Bubbler" Waul - keyboards Dean Fraser - Sax Ronald "Nambo" Robinson Chico Chin - Trumpet Devon Richards - Drums Ruddy "Flick Wilson" Thomas - Percussion In tribute to Dennis Emanuel Brown. notes: 07-13-2002 I recently came across this from a local trader, after a 20 year hunt: I was at the show, which was a beautiful Sunday afternoon festival at Varsity Stadium (same venue as John Lennon's 1969 Peace concert). Dennis came on after Truths And Rights, and before headliners Third World. Expectations of the crowd were high, as since Bob had passed on a few years earlier, Dennis had the unfair mantle of "the next reggae King". As you can hear, Dennis and the band delivered a fantastic set, which drew heavily from both his new-at-the-time A&M debut "Foul Play", and his previous album on the Joe Gibbs label "Words OF Wisdom". I have had the fortune of seeing Dennis 20+ times, and this is probably my favourite show. Partially because it was the first time I had seen him concert after enjoying his records, but the band is on on fire, and the setlist is stellar (this is the only time I have had the pleasure of hearing "Blood City" live). The singer and band were on, the audience was transfixed. What can be better? The above notes, as well as hearing the show for yourself, will explain why I looked so long and hard for it. I was estactic to learn that not only was it taped, but it was taped so well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and freely share the music with other Dennis Brown fans - DK comments / questions D.
