“This was Bob Marley’s last London concert, and one of his final shows before his untimely death 10 months later. I don't think many people knew of his illness as he performed a stirring two hour show that afternoon. The venue had a lake in front of the stage, and I didn’t own a long lens, so waded into the lake with my camera and a few rolls of film in a carrier bag. I got to the front of the stage where the water was about 4 feet deep and shot from there. Bob performed in an almost hypnotic trance. Of the three rolls I shot, I think he has his eyes open in only two of the photos. He was a dancing like a shaman; his locks flew all over his face throughout the show. This photo, the last frame on the roll of film, is the one that worked out best graphically and symbolically.”David Corio
