Uprising Tour - Set List

Set List

The standard set list of the tour mostly looked like the following:

• "Natural Mystic"
• "Positive Vibration"
• "Revolution"
• "I Shot The Sheriff"
• "War" / "No More Trouble"
• "Zimbabwe"
• "Zion Train"
• "No Woman, No Cry"
• "Jammin'"
• "Exodus"
• "Redemption Song"
• "Natty Dread"
• "Work"
• "Could You Be Loved"
• "Is This Love"
• "Get Up, Stand Up"

As an introductory theme, the concerts often started with a version of the Stalag riddim by Winston Riley, with keyboardist Tyrone Downie chanting "Marley!" over the riddim while Marley coming to the stage (therefore the intro is commonly called "Marley Chant" among fans). Most shows had a standard set list which closed with "Exodus", and an encore set which usually ended with "Get Up, Stand Up". There were also performances of an earlier song, "Trenchtown Rock", which is not featured on any of Marley's Island albums released at that time.

For the short U.S. leg of the tour Marley changed the set list to be similar to the one from the Kaya Tour in 1978: he dropped "Revolution" and "Natty Dread" and added songs like "Burnin' And Lootin'" or "Them Belly Full" at the beginning, or "The Heathen" and the "Running Away" / "Crazy Baldhead" medley in the middle of the set list.

From show to show sometimes an additional song was edged in the middle of the set list, like "Lively Up Yourself", "Kinky Reggae", "Roots, Rock, Reggae", "Coming In From The Cold", "Bad Card", "Kaya", "Trenchtown Rock", "We And Them", "Three Little Birds", "Talkin' Blues" or "Forever Loving Jah". Live performances of each of these songs happened very rarely during the tour.
