* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's ''live'', alright.
* ExcitedShowTitle: ''Live!''
* FaceOnTheCover: Bob during the concert.

* ThePowerOfRock: "Trenchtown Rock"
--> ''One good thing about music: when it hits you, feel no pain!''
* SingerNamedrop:
--> ''This... is a Trenchtown experience. All the way from Trenchtown, Jamaica: BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS! COME ON!''

* RefrainFromAssuming: Some people, especially those who don't speak English that well, frequent misinterpret "No Woman, No Cry" as a MisogynySong, thinking it means that without women there would be no reason to cry. A lot of stupid men find this incredibly funny, but the last laugh is actually on them; the song is simply about a man telling a woman not to cry, despite their misery.

!! Trenchtown tropes

* NonAppearingTitle: The word ''live'' is never uttered, except in the word ''lively'' from "Lively Up Yourself".

''Live!'' was recorded in the Lyceum Theatre in London. This already showed how popular {{Reggae}} had become by his point and its success would only grow. ''Live!'' would become Marley's international {{breakthrough|Hit}}, driven by his Top 10 hit single "No Woman, No Cry". His SignatureSong had already appeared earlier on ''Music/NattyDread'' (1974), but in an EarlyInstallmentWeirdness studio version that pales in comparison to the much more epic and moving version here. Aside from tracks that had appeared on his Island albums, Marley threw in a treat for old fans with a new version of the old Wailers classic "Trenchtown Rock". Many fans had not heard the song at the time.

* EpicRocking: "No Woman, No Cry", which sounds far more epic and moving in the live rendition than the studio version from ''Music/NattyDread''. It's also much longer: 7:07 minutes to be exact, making it the longest track on the album.

* FeedbackRule: During Bob Marley's rendition of "No Woman, No Cry" you can hear one of the microphones give some feedback after he sings: "good friends we had or good friends we lost...", just during the pause before he continues "...along the way."
* TheFutureWillBeBetter: That fantastic moment during "No Woman, No Cry" when Bob sings ''everything is gonna be alright'' and you hear this massive cheering response from the crowd.

''Live!'' is a 1975 LiveAlbum by Music/BobMarley and the Wailers. It's notable for being his first official concert album and one of the best in its genre. There's a magical, spiritual and moving atmosphere in many of Marley's live performances and this album captured it like no other. Even his other official live album released during Marley's lifetime, ''Babylon By Bus'' (1978), never reached the same legendary and superlative status as ''Live!'' did.
