About
Burning Spear on Tour
Roots/reggae sensation Burning Spear (real name Winston Rodney OD) is one the most respected artists in the history of Jamaica. A Rastafarian, Burning Spear is one of the most influential roots artists to come out of the 1970s. Throughout nearly four decades, more than 25 albums and countless live performances, Burning Spear has carried the torch of political activist Marcus Garvey. Through lyrics and rhythms and live performances that spread messages of peace and love to all, Burning Spear promotes self-determination and self-reliance for African descendants. Before Burning Spear embarked on a string of shows in the U.S. in 2022 -- his first tour since 2010 -- he announced that he would not be going out on long tours anymore. In a 2021 interview with Reggaeville, the singer/songwriter/musician said, "I don't think I will be touring again. Like going on the road for months, weeks. ... I will use my discretion and think about doing maybe a little show here and there." Seeing Burning Spear live should be on the bucket list of any reggae fan.
Burning Spear Live in Concert
Winston Rodney OD (aka Burning Spear) was born in 1948 in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica -- the same birthplace as the legendary Bob Marley, who set the singer/songwriter/musician off on his career in music. He met Marley while they were both living in St. Ann's and, as Burning Spear recalls in a bio on his website, "I say ... I would like to get involved in the music business. And Bob say, 'All right, just check Studio One." So, Rodney set off to Kingston for a meeting with Coxsone Dodd, the head of Studio One. It was there that Burning Spear released a series of singles, including the 1972 Jamaican smash hit "Joe Frazier (He Prayed)." Shortly after, Burning Spear released their first two classic albums: 1973's Studio One Presents Burning Spear and 1974's Rocking Time. After moving on to work with Jack Ruby, Burning Spear recorded "Marcus Garvey," which would become a successful hit song, followed by "Slavery Days." In 1975, Burning Spear released the Marcus Garvey album, one of the greatest albums to ever come out of Jamaica. Burning Spear subsequently released Man in the Hills (1976), Dry & Heavy (1977), Social Living (1978), and Hail H.I.M. (1980). These five albums remain a seminal canon of dread roots, carrying on the legacy of Burning Spear for decades to come.

by TeriC on 8/13/22The Masonic - San FranciscoParking in building was 5-Stars. Attendants and security helped me be at peace with the venue. California Room was 5-Stars!! DJ. Drinks. Food and best of all seeing the band enter. Disappointed press was not present to greet band and capture entrance to venue - unforgettable moment. Disappointed more merchandise was not on sale. Show was great - wanted the night to last longer. Like DJ play Burningspearmusic for while after the show. A night to remember.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Great Venue, Not a bad seat in the house.
by The Roughneck-Chicken on 8/10/22House of Blues Boston - BostonThe process of purchasing tickets through Live Nation was smooth and secure. I really like that I could drill down and see the seat configuration of each section and how many tickets are actually available. Also, I appreciate that Live Nation enforces a strict time limit for the process time to purchase tickets. The HOB venue in Boston is great for concerts in that it has good acoustics, multiple bars and restrooms that are easily accessible. However, I think the sound engineers did Burning Spear a bit of injustice in this instance. I've seen several reggae artists at the HOB and comparatively I think the sounds system could have been better tuned for Spears music. His vocals were difficult to hear at times, which to me signifies that his Mike could have been turned up more. He has a very mellow singing style which requires a loud mic. Also the amplification of the bass guitar could have been much heavier..what's reggae music without a heavy bass? Anyhow, for a '77 year old musician he put on a hell of show exhibited a ton of energy.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Best concert of the year!
by Lady K on 8/9/22House of Blues Boston - BostonFrom the time we walked up to venue, we were invited into the VIP Room to get out of the heat. They took us to the lounge area where we sat, ordered drinks and cooled off in the a/c. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We were escorted to our seats. I'm physically disabled so they made sure we were given comfortable seats which just happened to be the best seats in the House of Blues. No obstructed views, plenty of space and the air conditioning was so nice. We were treated with respect from start to finish. Concert itself was amazing and the venue was beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make our ecperience the best one by far. Thank you for a wonderful time and new memories we'll cherish forever. HOB rocks!!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wonderful show from a reggae master in top form
by gpf on 8/8/22House of Blues Boston - BostonTerrific show! My experience was marred by Ticketmaster. Some in my party were unable to attend, but resale was not permitted. Ticketmaster blamed the “host. But I was not informed of that policy by Ticketmaster when purchasing, which I consider unethical.
