Midnight Dread Sound System last DJed at Reggae On The River August 5th-7th, 2005 near Redway, California. It was Doug's twentieth straight appearance there (1985-2005), being the first DJ ever to play at the most famous festival in the redwoods. Sets put together by MDSS were played on the main stage for DREADSTOCK 2005 September 24th and 25th, 2005 on the San Francisco Bay in Vallejo, California. Midnight Dread also kept the vibes positive for the main stage at the very first Dreadstock in 2004.

Unity Life Youth Project does a spectacular job of producing the event. Go to Dreadstock.com for more info. Midnight Dread returned to Fairfax in Marin County, California Saturday September 25th, 2004 at the club called '19 Broadway'. One of his first ever club dates was in Fairfax in 1975.

Other exclusive cds of note: 1- The crucial compilation of set highlights from the Midnight Dread Sound System live at the 20th Annual Reggae On The River in 2003.

"At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all, ourselves.
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey, comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." -Hopi Elders

For deep overstanding of what's really behind classic, progressive, roots reggae read Helene Lee's amazing book THE FIRST RASTA. It will blow your mind 'bout twenty time.

Segments of the legendary Peter Tosh/Midnight Dread reasoning session recently posted for the first time ever in its entirity on this site are featured in Wayne Jobson's excellent film, out on DVD, RED X - Stepping Razor. The recorder I saw Peter using at the scene of my interview was the same that he used for his late night autobiographical musings featured throughout the film. Apparently that's why you can hear my voice reasoning with Peter in the film without Midnight Dread being credited.
This response from Scotti B after ordering & hearing the Tosh Tribute Midnight Dread aircheck:
"Got the Cds a few days ago. So far I've only gotten to hear
the Tosh CD. What a great disc! Just wanted to let you know how
impressed I am so far, I look forward to the other discs.
I also got Red X on DVD recently, your CD makes a great
companion!" -Scotti B {RAW (Reggae Ambassadors Worldwide) #596}
