"In 1978, Canadian filmmaker Jim Lewis weas commissioned
to film the One Love Peace Concert in Jamaica. This resulted in the film "Heartland Reggae", which consisted of three concerts across the Island (the National Stadium, Savanna La Mar, and Trelawny Beach)

For years, rumors about unseen footage from the OLPC have circulated.
The entire concert was not filmed due to limited stock. Jacob Miller's "Peace Treaty" was the only performance featured in the film apart from Bob Marley.

48 years later, the lost outtakes from the OLPC
and Savanna La Mar have been found."

By Leif Gjerstad

This was published shortly after Peter performed at Chateau Neuf in Oslo, only weeks after Bob Marley’s passing.

When asked what Marley’s passing might mean for reggae. Tosh’s answer was.

– "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘺'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮. 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘺'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩. 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩. 𝘞𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯"

When asked what has made the reggae so popular?

– "𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘢𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨"

Tosh further said he hopes his fresh album "Wanted Dread & Alive" provided him with enough money to build his own record studio.

– "𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴? 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺. 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯... 𝘐 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯, 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘐 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦."

Note:
According to Leif Gjerstad’s Dagbladet article, at least 1,100 spectators attended the Chateau Neuf concert.

𝐁𝐨𝐛 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐧:

In this June 22, 1978 Daily Mirror interview later published on June 26, 1978, Bob Marley spoke about being banned from performing in London, saying he felt Britain’s rules were unfair and old-fashioned. He explained that he knew The Wailers were not playing London on that tour, but did not know the real reason until he arrived.

The article also touches on Marley’s return to Jamaica after the 1976 assassination attempt. Marley said he was not nervous about going back, describing the shooting as politically motivated but ultimately a misunderstanding.

When asked about Cindy Breakspeare, he kept his answer brief, calling her a good friend. And when asked what he might do if he ever left music, Marley told the interviewer that he would probably become a farmer.

As far as I know, no audio or video of this exact Daily Mirror interview is publicly available, making these images an important glimpse into a mostly print-only moment in Marley history.
