Thanks for posting this rock steady classic, X!

I had forgotten about wonderful recordings like Derrick Harriott’s “Walk the Streets”! I recall that as a youngster, what really drew my attention at first was the memorable lead guitar riff played throughout. I see that it’s been reproduced to perfection in this concert.

The lyrics of this song are haunting and the voices (both lead vocals and harmony) make this an enjoyable performance.

I’m not sure when this live concert was recorded, but based on how Derrick looks in the video, I suspect that it’s maybe sometime in the 1980s. Of course, I’m simply guessing here and so will welcome any logical correction.

The sound of the backing band definitely brings back memories of bands of the 1960s and 1970s like the Boris Gardiner Happening and Soul Syndicate (I can just imagine in my mind the possibility of Soul Syndicate’s Earl “Chinna” Smith playing such a fine lead guitar riff on the original Studio One recording).

Much respect for ALL your music posts, boss!! My favorite to date, and one which I still listen to occasionally, is that live reggae version of Dave Brubeck’s “Take 5” by the New York Ska Jazz Ensemble!

Good selection. Bwoy you are a paradox. Your taste in music shows somebody who have some sense, but that all fly through the window once you start argue or select your football teams.
