MIR will always remain in my heart, but my head really wants to tell the band to consider playing track by track past albums especially 'Live at the Counter Eurovision' ; no that would be something!

Truely a fantastic gig with Misty In Roots on there very best form. Yes, they could have played more of the classic songs, but that's just me being greedy. John Peel would have been very proud of MIR.

About Misty in Roots
Misty in Roots began life as a Southall based British roots reggae band in the early 1970s. Their first album was Live at the Counter Eurovision, a record full of Biblical Rastafarian songs. This powerful, atmospheric live album is a minor classic and was championed by radio DJ John Peel, helping to bring roots reggae to a white audience. At this early stage the band was a collective with five lead singers and various musicians, though by the time of the second album the band, which continues today, had slimmed down to just three members. Along with Steel Pulse and Aswad, Misty in Roots were one of the very favourite English reggae bands in the late seventies.
In 1979 Clarence Baker, a member of the collective, was severely beaten and injured by the SPG during the protest in Southall against the National Front provocation. The Punk band The Ruts who were partners of the People Unite cooperative honoured him in their song "Jah War" which appeared on their album "The Crack".
