Google is my friend... or it should be.

I've received quite some mails regarding my post about Bob Marley's infamous song. So much of them, in fact, that I've come to two conclusions:

1. I should STFW a bit more often.
2. I should start writing that comments thingy for my blog that I've been wanting to write since quite a while now.

In any case, the answer appears to have been number 2: "The original studio version that they made was nice, but The Wailers changed it sufficiently on that concert, and this version was deemed much better; as a result, people keep putting the live version on Best Of collections, and collectively forget about the original studio version." Or something similar, at least.

Considering the fact that between the release of the original studio version and the following live concerts tour, the band lost some members and gained some others (and changed its name as a result), it is quite obvious that the sound of the band (and, thus, the sound of this particular song) changed. Still, I'd like to hear that one version of the song. If only just once...
