The Stanley Theatre (now the Benedum Center) in downtown Pittsburgh is the last venue where Bob Marley and The Wailers performed publicly on September 23, 1980 before his passing. On September 23, 2010, exactly 30 years after that magical evening, the Marley family will come together for a live tribute concert benefiting their One Love Foundation and honoring their father. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be going to support the One Love Not-For-Profit Foundation.
The Marley family and guests will be performing the exact set list from Bob's 1980 Stanley Theatre show. Confirmed performers so far include Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Julian Marley, Cedella Marley and The Marley girls. In addition to the Marley children The Queen Mother herself (and member of the I-3s who also performed at Bob's last show) Rita Marley will be traveling from her home in Ghana to be part of this special prestigious event. Appearing with Rita will be former I-3 member, Marcia Griffiths.
Reserved seats for this once in a life time concert are on sale now at The Benedum Center Box Office, Theatre Square Box Office (downtown Pgh), by phone at 412-456-6666 and on line at www.pgharts.org.
