S.O.D. "Get Up, Stand Up" by Bob Marley

12/4/2016     This 1973 reggae song was the last song that Marley ever performed live. This occurred on September 23, 1980 at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, PA. Since then it has been renamed the Benedum Center.  

     Esther Anderson, Marley's girlfriend at the time he was writing the song, stated that he did so while touring Haiti and being so deeply affected by the amount of poverty there in the Haitian people. 18 versions have been attempted.
