Bob Marley & The Wailers perform at the historic Smile Jamaica Concert on December 5, 1976. Just two days earlier, on December 3, 1976, armed gunmen attacked Bob Marley’s home at 56 Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica. Marley was wounded in the chest and arm, while his wife Rita Marley and manager Don Taylor were also injured. Despite the attack, Marley and those around him survived. On December 5, Marley took the stage and performed in one of the most significant moments in reggae history — a powerful statement of resilience, unity, and music’s ability to bring people together.
