The Mighty Diamonds - Live In Toyo 1985


Yes, some of the sweetest harmonies in all of reggae music live in concert - The Mighty Diamonds. Tabby Shaw, Judge Ferguson and Bunny Simpson crafted some of the finest 3 part voice work that we shall ever be so lucky to hear again. It may be obvious by this point, considering all the roots reggae I have shared, that I don't much care for new reggae music. There may be some great new vocalists and harmonies but whenever I venture into new reggae it all sounds like the same old dancehall vibe that I got tired of as I retreated further back into reggae history. So, I am safe and comfortable in my pre-1990 reggae bubble. Many of the greatest Diamonds songs are represented here in their live glory - "Shame & Pride", "Right Time", Have Mercy" and "The Roots Is There" - you really cannot go wrong with this one...
