Kiser's afe in it's prime had all the best reggae acts

[FarOutWestEnder]

I've seen all of these acts at the original Kaiser's Café, with the exception of Sizzla, and Joseph Hill who was at the Treehouse once, along with Charlie Chaplin. Each clip might just go on and one, so close out and go to the next one.

I meant Kaiser's Café

[Marblehead]

Kaiser's was a great venue. What's the real story of why it's sitting there mostly unused? Even more confounding than what ever happened with T-Water? Just another sorrowful Jamaican mystery?

Not much of a mystery for either. Kaiser's was discussed back in 2015:

As for T-Water, that was discussed back in 2014:

These threads, being 2 and 3 years old respectively, do contain some outdated info. But the Kaiser's and T-Water information was correct at the time.

FarOutWestEnder, Marblehead,

Do you guys remember or know Roots Bamboo?? In the mid-late 70's they had all the island best. Located on the beach not far from The Treehouse and no stage just set up on the ground it was really a "Yard" concert. Bob Marley & The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Inner Circle, Mighty Diamonds, Yellowman, Scratch Perry, Burning Spear, The Gladiators, Israel Vibration,Big Youth, Culture, Dennis Brown.... All these performers really getting into their "Roots", to mention a few..... Some really great shows and memories!! Anybody else remember shows there???
