Peter Tosh usually gave a small talk during his performances, a reasoning. On US tours where I saw him perform, the talk was often about 7 or 8 minutes. At his November 27, 1982, performance in Montego Bay at the Jamaican World Music Festival, Tosh reasoned for almost 15 minutes. Much of his reasoning was about herb but he spoke about much more including the repression Rasta has faced because of herb and the lack of promotion of reggae music in Jamaica. He directly addresses the Jamaican media in attendence with a blistering rebuke.
The second video is a television news report about Tosh's 1983 appearance in Swaziland. Working on a translation.
