'Get Up, Stand Up' was the last ever song Bob Marley performed: it was the last song of a show at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh on the 23rd of September 1980.

Such songs illuminated the desperation of poor Jamaican life, but they also looked forward to religious salvation, their themes accentuated by the compelling rhythms and the alternating vocals of the three singers. Here, on 'Burnin' and Lootin',' they take issue with fellow Jamaican Jimmy Cliff's song of the previous year, 'Many Rivers to Cross,' asking impatiently, 'How many rivers do we have to cross/Before we can talk to the boss?' 'I Shot the Sheriff,' the album's most celebrated song, which became a number one hit in the hands of Eric Clapton in 1974, claims self-defense, admits consequences ('If I am guilty I will pay'), and emphasizes the isolated nature of the killing ('I didn't shoot no deputy'), but its central image is violent. The Wailers are explicit in their call to violence, a complete reversal from their own 1960s 'Simmer Down' philosophy.

Few of these songs were destined to become among the more widely hailed efforts in the repertoire of Marley (who wrote most of the songs) or the Wailers - 'Don't Rock My Boat,' 'Duppy Conqueror,' and 'Sun Is Shining' are about the most acclaimed of them. Actually, for a Lee Perry production it's rather on the basic no-frills side, with a stark ambience highlighting the vocal harmonies and throbbing bass.
