The Capitol Session '73 captures a closed-door studio performance that Bob Marley & The Wailers gave on 24 October 1973 in the Capitol Records tower in Los Angeles. The recording was made while the band was staying in California during an American tour, and was only restored and released decades later. The performance features early classics from the group's repertoire, including Get Up Stand Up, Stir It Up, Slave Driver and Burnin' And Lootin'. The material offers an intimate view of Marley and the Wailers in the period when their international breakthrough was beginning. As a live document, the record shows the raw power of the band before their major worldwide success.
