it is pretty maddening though, I don't really need another version of "Dizzy Dizzy" but would love "Sunshine Day and Night", one of my favorite tracks of the Rosko/Reebop era

one month passes...

Listening to Aston rn and it’s like absolute pure ambrosia to my ears. Like seeing inside the mind of Jaki in a less confrontational atmosphere than previous live releases I’ve heard. Loving it, want to be Can 77 for Halloween this year.

I went straight from Aston back to the copy of Miles Davis' Agharta I'm ripping, and damn I know it's been compared before but they were really on the same wavelength for a while in the 70s

Good call, sleeve! I can totally hear that connection.

This might be my favorite of these Can reissues (and that’s not something I’ve said about every one of them)

I am, I think, totally unfamiliar with the Rosko era, it's definitely a different vibe

One of the best things about this series is the song numbering, disassociating the riffs from the original song settings. It’s made me listen in a different way, hearing them as self-sufficient material, rather than live variations on familiar songs. (Even if many of those studio songs were also somewhat arbitrary captures of ever-evolving ideas )

Hmm, looks like I'm gonna have to catch this one as well...

xpost also, yes: previous live releases have either had 'orig' song titles or 'completely new' titles (or compilations of 'best bits') whereas here it's just separations of a live gig.
