Conceived with DVD release in mind, this high-end, live video concert taped in Jamaica lives up to its title with a generous repertoire of Bob Marley songs performed by reverent pop, hip-hop, rock, and reggae veterans. Shot on a rainy night in December 1999, the home video version expands upon an inaugural TNT cable telecast with an additional hour of performances. The DVD edition adds a premium level of special features and exclusive content. The music's the main thing, of course, and on that front One Love is uniformly respectful, orbiting around Marley's songs and infused with whiffs of his Rastafarian world view and reggae's broader Third World perspectives. Marley's family members serve as hosts and frequent collaborators, with a limber house band further reinforcing a coherent, communal element to the performances, and the titular all-stars immerse themselves in Marley's world. Lauryn Hill opens the concert with what is clearly one of its highest points, a joyful "Turn the Lights Down Low." Chrissie Hynde and Erykah Badu take turns duetting with Jimmy Cliff, and another reggae titan, Toots Hibbert, proves a perfect, ebullient fit with a current lineup of the Wailers. The celebrity choices include a conspicuous subset of American folk-rockers in Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper, and Hootie and the Blowfish's Darius Rucker, with Chapman the most convincing in a glowing version of "Three Little Birds." Avid reggae fans may be mildly frustrated by the overall crossover thrust of this homage, which favors Yankee rap and hip-hop (via Busta Rhymes and Queen Latifah) instead of homegrown dancehall; it tantalizes us with glimpses of Marley's peers, like Cliff and Hibbert, while being largely occupied with sustaining its parade of non-reggae marquee names. For most viewers, though, the scope of the concert and the first-rate sonic finish will sustain the spell, an effect powerfully expanded on the superb DVD version. --Sam Sutherland One Love: The Bob Marley Tribute concert filmed amidst the beauty of Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica in December 1999, is a joyful celebration of Bob Marley's music and enduring legacy.

The collection of artists performing live on this DVD is incredible. I enjoyed performance by Ziggy, Stephen, Queen Latifah, the I-Threes, the Marley sisters, etc. I can only wish that I was there in person during the performance. This DVD is a MUST have for all Bob Marley Fans and reggae music lovers.

One Love - The Bob Marley all-Star Tribute
Most absorbing, entertaining and educating video I've seen in a long time. Bob Marley must have also smiled in appreciation. My feeling is that atrtists involved including the Marley family really enjoyed the moment and it is for that reason that I also felt I must prchase the DVD. And I am not regretting a bit.

unglaublich gutes Konzert
Sehr, sehr hohe Qualität für die Musik, die Lichter, die Originalität, die Kleidung, die Verfilmung, die Musiker. Es fehlen mir einfach die Worte (sorry, ich bin ein kleener Franzos'). Ich könnte fast sagen: Bob Marley's Original bin ich etwas satt, aber dieses Konzert belebt diese Musik auf unglaublich sehr angenehme Weise wieder.

Tracy makes the hairs on the back of your neck get up and stand up.
Tracy obviously steals the show and Bob would be proud to have her sing his songs of freedom. This is a rare DVD and will be out of print soon if it isn't already.

この面子を集めるBobの偉大さ、ってとこでしょうか…すげえ
この面子、特に説明不要、凄過ぎ。 中期ウェイラーズを彷彿とさせるアイスリーによるコーラス&振りが全面通し見れるだけで個人的には涙が出てきますが、決して出てくるシンガーが無理にBobのマネして歌う訳でもなく個人個人の想いで自由に歌う姿が逆にBobが残した楽曲に対するリスペクトを感じ、これもこれで涙が出てしまいます。実際、クリスロビンソン、ベンハーパー、ダリアスラッカーあたりはロック調に気持ちよく歌っております。強いて言えば、個人的には好きなクリッシーではありますがジャマイカでは馴染みが薄いのか出番が早過ぎたか曲がWaiting in Vainだったためか少々浮いてる感はありましたが…。 エリカバドゥ、またトレイシーや女王ラテファですら可愛い美しく見えてくる不思議、ローリン、バスタライムスの煽りはさすがの一言。音楽好き、Bob好きな人は是非見てほしい作品。 Ps、ジャマイカ音楽黎明期から活躍するジミーもトゥーツも還暦超えて踊りまくっております。 こんなジジイになりたい。
