Brooklyn’s Prospect Park band shell was blessed on Saturday, June 26,1999 with an electrifying performance by one of Jamaica’s most prolific yet controversial conscious reggae singers - Anthony B.

The show opened with a performance by John Brown’s Body an American Band that represents the Roots*Rock*Reggae vibe.

Anthony B started his set at approximately 3:45 PM with Storm Wind his 1998 summer hit. Moving right into One Thing, from his debut album So Many Things….., he followed with Universal Struggle where he urged all working class to join him in singing "raid the barn" for all the "parasites" that don’t fend for themselves.

As the lyrics of the song states < I feel pleased/ when I take a little ease/ from a long hard days of work/ a sense of achieving/ to know I’m contributing/ doing my part>. He was also pleased with the responsive sing along he received from the audience - he commented " bwoy look like mi should bring you to the next studio session".

On a "musical fire" he delved into about 20 other tracks from his extensive catalog. Through it all he paid tribute to the Late Greats, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh; the latter whom he credits as his inspiration.
