#OnThisDay 40 years ago promoter Pat Egan @Pateganmgt brought Bob Marley & the Wailers to Dalymount Pk @bfcdublin. On an overcast Sunday the show ran from 2.30 to 6.30. 10,000+ attended. £7 in, kids free with adults. No trouble, just 2 arrests but many counterfeit tickets used. pic.twitter.com/vIuE97gcsG

Online gambling company cynically exploiting the image of dead musician – meh, think I’ll pass on that one.
Great pics.
Very little seating in Dalymount Park back then. Definitely a case of Get Up, Stand Up if you wanted to see the stage
The Rolling Donut was started just 2 years earlier in 78 and used to travel to concerts and festivals.
Rumour has it they were at Dalymount that day and Bob asked for a box of donuts before the gig…
With jam in.
the only donut worth having
oh I’d murder a jammy donut right now
in the name of the lord..
I’m not sure they were holy donuts.
Just the filled ones.
A great friend of Johnny Giles.
