Organisers promoted the show as a live performance Taking to Facebook rto vent their fury some users criticised the show's promoters for appearing to mislead them. Former radio presenter Tailosi Bakili posted on Facebook: “Wen Bob Marley performed at Madison Square Gardenz, he was called back on stage 3 times. The fourth time he refused. But those were the Wailers. They never used flash discs or CD's. They played live music. Unfortunately, Bob Marley died and the Wailers are disbanded. So don’t expect too much from young kids.

I believe given the resources they can make it, even better than these so-called international artists whom we exaggerate beyond limit. Big up to the Black Missionaries Band, The Wailing Brothers, Soul Raiders, The Roots, The Solid Rocks, Mizu Band and many others” Malawi’s Black Missionaries performed live as a supporting artist. However, other were more forgiving, as football administrator Casper Jangale wrote: “I am totally flabbergasted that we are complaining for the grotesque mediocre show which the Heritage Family put on yesternight at Silver. We knew long way back that these guys want to romanticize with our ganja (weed), the Malawian gold, the contraband. But alas, we were caught up in the slumber, we were hibernating to realize that we got what we deserve. “ Funny Mbewe who attended the show said: “It was still amazing.” She, nonetheless, expressed her frustrations that it was not live. Audrey Mvula said the K10,000 he paid to watch the show was “extortionate fee” considering he expected a live performance.
