One of the evening's most memorable comments came from Peter Tosh: "Dis concert here whey dem sey is a peace concert, I man neva did a go come innu. Ah wonder if many people realise what the word peace means? Peace is the diploma yuh get in the cemetery. Seen! On top a yuh grave dat it mark, 'Here lies the body of John Strokes, rest in peace'! Seen!"

Sly Dunbar (drummer in Tosh's Word, Sound and Power band): "I remember we rehearsed at Ripon Road, but we never knew Peter was going to talk the way he did. We were surprised when he began to talk, a lotta people said Peter was the star of that show."

There is no footage of Tosh's performance. He prevented any filming of his set unless producers come 'talk to I because is lightning I flash'.

The Tosh performance was released on the CD, Peter Tosh Live At The One Love Peace Concert in July 2000.

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones attended the show.

Twelve-year-old singer Junior Tucker was the opening act.

Beres Hammond performed at the show.

Promoters planned to use funds from the event to build community centres in the inner city. Most of it went missing.

Approximately 381 murders were recorded in Jamaica in 1978.

Claudius Massop was killed in west Kingston in February 1979.

Aston 'Bucky' Marshall, another of the One Love Peace Concert organisers, was murdered in New York City in March 1980.
