Bob Marley would have turned 70 in 2015, so the reggae singer's family is marking the milestone with a yearlong commemoration of his music and legacy.

First up on the calendar – and the perfect thing to watch after lighting up some Marley-branded marijuana – is Bob Marley and the Wailers' Easy Skanking in Boston '78, a never-before-released live CD/DVD.
