Bob Marley Dortmund Germany 6/13/80

Nobody but his most trusted friends and family knew just how sick he was!  What started out as simple toe injury suffered playing his beloved futbol had morphed into cancer.  A cancer, given the treatment options of 1980, that would ultimately claim his life.  But before that fateful trip which would end in death at a Miami hospital, Bob had decided to embark on a world tour that would include the United States and Europe in support of his final studio effort, Uprising. 

By the time Bob reached Europe he had already lost his signature dreadlocks and was wearing a wig to hide his physical decline as result of ongoing chemotherapy treatements.  Each night weak and sick he would channel the energy of his faith and love of the world and step out on stage and wage war with his illness.  And each night, fans would see some of the most powerful and inspirational shows of his career.  For your listening enjoyment, Bob Marley and the Wailers (Dortmund, Ger 6/13/80)
