No Woman, No Cry (Live at the Lyceum)

Well supported

The performance that turned a Natty Dread album track into a standard. Recorded at the Lyceum Theatre in London in July 1975 and released on Live! later that year, it is slower and longer than the studio cut, carried by the crowd and by the extended organ and guitar. The song is credited to Vincent Ford, a friend who ran a soup kitchen in Trench Town.
