If you run, be careful, try to look before you leap;
Took a little walk from my Vineyard...
Now I'm on my own
Now I'm left alone..

04 - Alton Ellis, Beres Hammond
05- Queen Omega, Sugar Minott, Lutan Fyah

07 - Sugar, Bunny Wailer (also the best show I've seen him do), Junior Kelly
08 - Mighty Diamonds, Buju, Cornel Campbell, Yami Bolo
09 - Cherine, Bushman, Michigan and Smiley (this was one of my favorite years overall)

I only made it for 2005, but thoroughly enjoyed to favorites Sugar Minott & Luciano, along with the Abyssinians, Winston Jarrett, and the Fifth Element Crew who I saw all for the first and last time. I also deeply regret sleeping through Alcapone's set, but @#$%& happens.

Very pertinent topic! I was just reminiscing about seeing Linvall Thompson for the 1 & only time back at Angels Camp somewhere around 2002 or so and how enjoyable it was...

...What's up with Linvall Thompson? Can we bring him to Boonville?

11 - Romain Virgo
12 - LKJ, Luciano and the front flip

by a length and a furlong....
.....Romain Virgo just the other year
Fantan Mojah in 2008...
and Warrior King in 2006.

2008 was the only year I have been to before. Buju Banton was amazing. Midnite was amazing. The two reasons I came. The show that stands out to me the most other than those two that year was President Brown!!!! He was amazing in 08!

2008 was tuff to beat

Started attending in 2009....

2009-Jah Shaka takes the cake in a major way. Followed by Sly & Robbie and Cherine as well as Anthony B
2010-Alborosie leading into Don Carlos (amazing back to back sets) and also Barrington Levy closing on Sunday night
2011-Romain Virgo (hands down) followed by Tribal Seeds and Steel Pulse (I think they played in 2011)
2012-Romain Virgo and Johnny Osbourne

2009 - Jah Shaka
2012 - Johnny Osbourne, Zion Train

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Pablo Moses on the Village Stage in 2011. Super irie set!!!

I loved that Pablo Moses show too. Gave copies to the band at their show the next week at Ashkenaz, they all thought the snwmf show sucked. I assured them it did not suck and after they saw the recording, they all agreed. Pablo would not leave the stage til he was done.





Love that reggae!

Awesome video Nomo! Nice choice . Love that energy!

People go nuts for Romain Virgo live? What is it about him? His voice that good live?? Love the Protoje Regge Revival song with Romain Virgo. I hit up our local promoter here in Bend, OR asking him to bring Protoje and Gappy Ranks to Bend and he responded by saying reggae music was dead. LOL, I had to send him the youtube video link of Reggae Revival.
