Not sure what has happened to Roots Bamboo in recent years but I saw some great shows there in the 70's and 80's and although other properties had Reggae acts Roots Bamboo was really the best spot. I remember seeing Yellowman on one occasion and Burning Spear on another, those two come to mind although the fog of the past has erased the memory of others. Reggae acts in Jamaica always seemed much more real than seeing them in the US or Europe and at Roots Bamboo it was definitely up close and personal. For those who we lucky enough the early Reggae Sunsplash shows starting in 1978, man that was like Jamaican Woodstock or Watkins Glen shows.
