Bob Marley & The Wailers concert chronology

The Natty Dread Tour was a concert tour organised to support the album Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers.

The tour began in Miami, Florida, on 5 June 1975, and ended in Manchester, England, on 20 July 1975. In late June Marley did 14 shows in seven days at Paul's Mall in Boston. During the second tour leg in England, the first live album Live! was recorded at the Lyceum Ballroom in London. Before the tour started, Marley performed a concert along with Jackson Five in March in Kingston. After the tour, Marley performed the Wonder Dream Concert, featuring Stevie Wonder and his old bandmates Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer.

While on the Natty Dread Tour, Marley did his first performance outside Jamaica, England and the United States when playing the Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada.

Setlist

The standard setlist of the tour mostly looked like the following:

All songs from the Natty Dread album had been performed at least once, except for "Revolution" (which was a standard song during the Uprising Tour in 1980). There were performances of two earlier songs which are not featured on any of Marley's Island albums released at that time: "Trenchtown Rock" and "Nice Time".

From show to show sometimes an additional song was edged in the middle of the setlist, like "No More Trouble", "Nice Time", "So Jah Seh", "Bend Down Low" and "Stir It Up". Live performances of each of these songs happened very rarely during the tour.
