CAN....S and D?

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

https://canofficial.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-brighton-1975-2

Hell yes! Was hoping that was the news when I saw this bumped.

Yes!!!!!

oh fuck YEAH

can they just release a massive live box set and i'll just never listen to any other music again

nice

yessss

f yeah!

Short excerpt on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2IepPY-8fk

same year, basically the same cover, will I drop $50 on it? I dunno probably. it has Sechs and Sieben on it!!!

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

xp: Sechs und Sieben.

Nevermind I now see the excerpt above. I wonder if this was recorded by the same guy as the first one…has a very similar sound quality.

I think everything in this series was recorded by the same guy

I bet they'll do a box set once everyone has bought all the individual releases - I'm holding out :D

So is this show the one that these two songs from Live Music (1971-1977) came from?

"Dizzy Dizzy" – 8:02
19th Nov 1975, Brighton, Sussex University
"Vernal Equinox" – 12:44
19th Nov 1975, Brighton, Sussex University

O SHIT
I hope so bc those tracks 🔥🔥🔥

Hope there's some Damo stuff coming down the pike, but also love that this zone of perfect rapport between the core members is getting so much richer.

I like that they're doing post-Damo stuff first, because my knowledge of post-Damo can is pretty meager.

IIRC the main archive they're drawing on is a dude who made tapes mostly in the post-Damo years, so that's something to keep in mind.

A lot of the live Can post damo ive heard has sounded better than the studio versions, so that makes it all the more exciting imo

yeah, all this post-74 live stuff rules

unperson: Landed, Unlimited Edition, and Flow Motion are all really good!

Indeed, and those albums are my cut-off point.

They were playing Ege Bamyasi at REI in Portland today. It ruled

Live and studio Can were very much different things by then, by design I'd say. The band were great live in this period but tbh I've heard much better quality recordings - soundwise - than this.

Saw Delight and Inner Space are quite good as well. Out of Reach is the only out and out dud they've ever made, in my opinion

well I guess the reunion album too, though that one is at least pretty funny
