Ziggy Marley at Petco Park May 30, 2021

On May 30th after over a year of no live concerts,  San Diego was fortunate enough to  celebrate the fantastic Ziggy Marley tribute show to his father, the legendary Bob Marley. Petco Park set a perfect vibe for the evening.  Even though the crowd was limited due to the lingering Covid restrictions, Ziggy Marley surpassed all expectations.

From the opening song Rastaman Vibration and throughout the concert,  Ziggy Marley  weaved a common thread filled with joy, warmth, unity, and positive energy.  

While he is an icon in his own right, Ziggy covered his Father's songs with grace.  He is a class act and outstanding performer.

His back-up band was top notch, as were his two singers. It was fun to see his father's image from time to time on the big screen behind him and kind of made you feel like his spirit was present. As the night moved along each song was more phenomenal than the last. 

The Bob Marley songs are just as pertinent today as they were back in the 1970's. His impact on society concerning social injustice has never waivered.  The audience was on their feet swaying, connecting and  holding hands. 

Ziggy's vocals were on point  and delivered easily and with unbridled happiness.

Although this was a Bob Marley setlist from his 1979 Babylon by Bus tour at The Skinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall In Tokyo Japan, Ziggy made the songs his own throughout the 90 minutes of the concert.  I  especially loved I Shot The Sheriff

After the last song Jammin' there was a surprise fireworks show. 

What a great way to close a breathtaking night of music!
