Babylon By Bus
Bob Marley's second live album, 1978'sBabylon by Bus, had to be  pretty damned good to match the incandescence of 1975'sLive!. But with glorious  performances on songs like "Punky Reggae Party," "Jamming," and "Is This Love?"  Bob Marley and the Wailers came close to equalingLive!. Maybe there  wasn't quite the same amount of inspiration, but the Wailers had matured into a  tight unit, and Marley was a charismatic performer, as this set captured only  too well. And with Marley still at the height of his writing powers, there  definitely wasn't a dud song in the bunch. Not so much bus travel as limousine  listening, this specially remastered edition makes the glory of the original  release even clearer.--Chris Nickson
