Babylon by Bus

Babylon by Bus is a 1978 live album by Bob Marley & The Wailers that documents the band’s concert sound from their 1978 touring period. The performances foreground reggae rhythms and dub-influenced touches, with prominent bass and drums, sharp guitar skank, and layered backing vocals, and several tracks are presented in extended, groove-oriented live arrangements. The album serves as a vivid record of the Wailers’ live dynamics and the band’s emphasis on rhythm and call-and-response in concert.
