Bob Marley, Peter Tosh & Bunny Wailer Last Show Together | w/ Stevie Wonder (Wonder Dream Concert 1975)

These photos capture one of the most historic nights in reggae history Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer sharing the same stage one last time during Stevie Wonder’s Wonder Dream Concert at Kingston’s National Stadium.

The show was part of Jamaica’s “Holiday Jamaica” week of events (Sept 29–Oct 5, 1975) and was staged as a benefit for the Jamaican Institute for the Blind.

Third World opened the night, and then the Wailers delivered a rare set packed with classics like “Rastaman Chant,” “Simmer Down,” “One Love,” “No Woman, No Cry,” and “Jah Live.”

And of course the legendary moment where Bob and Stevie connect on-stage for a once in a lifetime jam of “I Shot The Sheriff” / “Superstition”.
