CAN....S and D?

I keep hoping that Live 71-77 album gets added to their new bandcamp page, I don't have that one.

Jaki is super good too.

Jaki is great in every single live gig I've heard of Can. Without exception. The one who's least consistent tends to be Karoli - but it's all relative!

I can see that, he does do that neener-neener-neener-neenerneenerneener thing a lot. if you don't like his guitar tone parts of this set may be hard to bear. I like when he gets more uh...bluesy

this stuttgart show is so fucking good

i wanna grow up to be jaki liebezeit

Jaki was a juggernaut, can you imagine playing a gig knowing Jaki is on drums?

have we ever done a S/D for his post-Can appearances? He's great on those first two Pluramon albums, for example

he's got four very distinct drum patterns and I think they all appear on here

this is why when all of my friends were like "yikes biological clock time 2 reproduce" i brought home my drum set!

Those 'Secret Rhythms' albums that Jaki made with Burnt Friedman from 2002 to 2013 are all great AFAIR--I also love Friedman's titling template (which he's since continued with YEK, his hand drum/FX duo) of naming tune the bpm-rhythmic cycle (127-17, etc.)

OTM

Finally breaking into this and it is...essential, of course. I'm sure this is upthread, and basically seen it announced as such, but liner notes confirm it's the first of a series.

Just listened to this - I think it's the whole set? I think it's the most I've ever enjoyed this band.

Any idea when the next live release will be announced? I've hardly listened to the band in 15+ years but I seriously love the 1975 Stuttgart set as well.

What's the video? I'm seeing a "this video is unavailable." message.

it was the entire live in stuttgart album.

Stuttgart release was so maddeningly great that I fear I’m going to be shelling out money for each new one going forward.

Well, it’s on Spotty, so..

post won't age well if the series ends after two volumes because "Spotty"

Yes, but my reply was about it being removed from YouTube. Should have put xxxp but cbb.

lol yeah about 5 minutes into Side A my thought was "shit, how many of these are there gonna be"

"Oh man, I hope this band doesn't keep putting out quality releases, lest I be forced to actually spend money on them and further supporting future quality releases, that would be terrible."

I've got to assume if they started the series post-Damo, there's some killer Damo stuff they're building towards. That said, this Babaluma/Landed admixture of tone and riffs has done a lot to make Landed feel like part of the classic run in my mind. The studio records capture ideas close to their point of creation, so it's wonderful to hear these musical ideas improvised upon after they've become patterns of rapport.

They were really good live ca. 1975/76.

I mean, they were always good, from what I can hear, but they were really cooking in this period.

there are two really great tracks from '75 on the Peel Sessions comp - a killer version of "Half Past One" and "Mighty Girl" which is an early (and much better) version of an Out of Reach track (maybe "November"?? I don't wanna listen to it again). I dig Landed and think it's almost classic but in retrospect probably could've been a lot better.

There never was a full live set officially released before, right? There's a momentum to this evening that I never got from the isolated live tracks I've heard.

no, that's a good point. definitely in the bootleg arena, but nothing official that was a single show

guessing this killer set might get a release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zhdNviS0Vs

The one single show is the video pwrformance that's in the box set/dvd.
Is all of that there though?

I didn’t know that! I better track it down then.

Just running through my head that it has been said that the band lost a certain amount of spontaneity when they went multitrack in recording. They ceased to record one take simultaneously so weren't playing off each other to the same degree. Which would not be true live where they would be becoming more and more familiar with how to communicate with each other. So unless that became a safe shorthand which I have heard is a possibility in improvisation if one doesn't watch out the results could be spectacular.

Freeshow from Cologne in 1972.

'75/'76 shows I've heard have been brilliant. There's one from January 1976 (I think) recorded in Lyon which probably has the best drumming I've ever heard from Jaki - not only that but the sound quality is quite a bit better than this Stuttgart gig.

Paying proper attention I now realise that "Zwei" is a live mashup of "Dizzy Dizzy" and "Bel Air", which is nuts.

and the DRUMMING ON "DREI" OMG

Listening to side one this morning, whew! Intense.

New archival album announced -- Brighton, 1975

Ugh I refreshed the bandcamp like 3 times hoping there was a preview track and that it just wasn’t loading for me
