January 7: Brooklyn, at President Choutouk club 71-84th Street
(Glen
Adams related a fascinating story about this show at the President
Choutouk club, which holds about 500 people. During Soul Rebel, Bob
asked Glen to join him onstage and play keyboards. In the middle of the
song, the police stopped the concert for some unknown reason, possibly
because there were some Rude boys, who were looking for trouble)

January (date from 9 to 24 january): concerts in Pennsylvania and Delaware.
"On january 30 1972 the Daily Gleaner tells the story of those american concerts with a little inteview with Bob Marley:
Jamaica's
most popular staging group, Bob Marley and the Wailers, recently
returned from a tour of New York area. The Wailers, who left here in
December, opened their show at the Concourse Plaza Hotel in Bronx before
an audience estimated at well over 3,000 on New Year's Eve night.
Also
appearing on the show was Jamaica's leading male vocalist, John Holt.
They were backed up by the Debonaires Band. After their performance in
Bronx, which was the biggest, they went on to Brooklyn, appearing at the
President Chateau on January 7, and was at Manhattan Centre the
following night. Leader Bob Marley informed that one of the shows
scheduled at Brooklyn was stopped by the police, no reason was given.
Three
bands which they performed with the Debonaires, Syd Joe and his
Caribbean All Stars and Cinnomon Suns, were up to a good standard Bob
Marley said. Although not as good as some of the bands in Jamaica. "
