Speedy says: 
1980s - #6: In 1980, Bob Marley was slowly dying of cancer which had begun in his toe. Diagnosed with the disease in 1977, Marley had refused to amputate the toe due to his religious beliefs. As the cancer spread throughout his body, Marley recorded the album Uprising, a deeply religious disc addressing his Rastafarian faith. The final track in the album is Redemption Song, in which Marley deals with his own mortality. Marley would go on tour in support of the album, playing his final live performance on September 23, 1980 in Pittsburgh. This soundboard recording captures him earlier in that tour, playing a free concert in Zimbabwe on April 19, 1980, 45 years ago today.
