Bob Marley's 70th birthday year (2015) will include a variety of releases and events to commemorate the legend, his work and iconic impact.

Over the course of the year, his legacy will be remembered by new releases of rare and unreleased material as well as fan favorite deluxe editions of his most memorable work. The first release will be available on February 17. BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS – EASY SKANKING IN BOSTON '78, features two historic live shows from Boston's Music Hall, June 8, 1978.

Highlights of the performance include a lively "Jammin'" and "The Heathen," a song Marley and the band didn't perform during the second set. The show features them at their most comfortable, truly enjoying themselves in the spotlight, basking in the appreciation of the audience.
