Massive Pick: Anthony B - Live on The Battlefield

Arguably the biggest name in modern roots reggae over the last 15 years, Anthony B released his two-disc live album in 2002.  Originally recorded from a live show in 2001 in Toulouse, France, it was later released as a high quality DVD.  I've seen Anthony B in concert three times, and he's one of my favorite live performers because of how he replicates his shows to sound exactly like his recorded music.  He plays full songs, has great energy, and I can't say enough about the quality of his sound.  Each time I saw him, he was backed by the Star Trail Band (as well as on this album), with whom he has worked with for years, so the riddims and melodies sound identical to his studio albums.  I believe I saw this exact set list at the old Higher Ground in Winooski, VT, so this album brings back some good memories of Anthony B in his prime.  All the hits are here, "Raid The Barn," "Waan Back," "Family Business," "Musical Fire," etc. so enjoy.
