The Exodus Tour was a concert tour organised to support the album Exodus by Bob Marley and the Wailers.
The tour began at the Pavillon de Paris, Porte de Pantin in Paris, France, on 10 May 1977. During the tour, Marley performed for the first time in Belgium and Denmark. The tour ended in early June after four of the six shows planned at the Rainbow Theatre in London due to a serious toe injury Marley received in a football friendly game with French journalists just before the tour's start. The tour's second leg in the United States was first postponed and then cancelled.
The final show has been released on VHS and DVD, labeled Live! at the Rainbow. It is reported that all four London shows have been recorded. The cancellation of the U.S. leg has been suggested as the main reason for Marley's underrated reputation there, as the Exodus album was Marley's route to international superstardom; being honoured as the Greatest Album of the Century by Time in 2000.
On 12 June 2020 all four Rainbow concerts were officially released as a streaming/download only series of albums.
