Today, on October 19th, 2024, we at Grateful Web pause to celebrate the life of Peter Tosh—a man whose voice was a beacon for justice and unity. His music wasn't just sound; it was a movement, a revolution wrapped in rhythm.

From the early days with the Wailers, Peter stood tall—not just in stature but in spirit. Alongside Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer, he crafted a sound that echoed far beyond the shores of Jamaica. Their harmonies weren't mere melodies; they were messages calling out to the world about love, freedom, and the struggles that bind us all.

It’s almost certain that no musical act in history has produced as many “cover” bands as the Grateful Dead.

Some are long-established lineups of cats who gather regularly down under the stars; some are catch-as-catch-can pick-up bands.
