wonder if there were people who were grateful dead about can and followed them everywhere? there should have been those people.

i am a big can fan. but i am not a superfan when it comes to every bootleg. so a lot of it is just new to me! i remember splurging on a can bootleg live cd in the 90s. i had never seen one! can't even remember what show it was.
i did pre-order that official live 2cd thing a couple of years back. the first and only time i ever pre-ordered something on the internet.

wonder if there were people who were grateful dead about can and followed them everywhere?

the taper whose recordings they've used for the recent live series was basically this person

anyway, yeah, Can live is the BEST.

this is a good Damo-era recording: https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/636314626807791616/can-the-empire-theatre-edinburgh-scotland

we've been talking about this on the Can thread!

(xxp) It wasn't so easy to hop about from Germany to France to Belgium to the UK to wherever than it would have been to follow the Grateful Dead in one country, albeit a big one.

EU countries all still had national passport controls in those days.

... and currencies!

no eurail pass in the old days?

"we've been talking about this on the Can thread!"

i did not know! just seemed like there was a cavalcade of live can showing up on my youtube.

you could have searched is all i am saying -- the conversation has been going on for years now :)
i don't care how many threads there are but if you're looking for the conversation about the live Can releases, it exists :)

no eurail pass in the old days?

The EU as currently constituted didn't exist till 1993, it was strictly an economic union in those days.

CAN....S and D?

I know for a fact there were Europe-wide rail passes in the 80s, it was the Common Market after all. Didn't have to show my passport going from Germany to Austria in 1987.

Good job the Austrian authorities didn't find out about it, they didn't join the EU till 1995!

"if you're looking for the conversation about the live Can releases, it exists :)"

i'm not actually. looking for a conversation about the live Can releases. just thought people could post their fave live stuff if they felt like it. but nobody has to! i've just been enjoying random boots online.

i see there have been 4 new sets since that first 2xcd i bought. i should get them. they are so cheap!

note that the Cuxhaven release chopped off like 50 minutes of the concert, someone uploaded it on the other thread and it is better than the released part! totally baffling.

O!

.. don't see it ..

MaresNest to thread? I can also ysi

Maybe there's more than two Can threads.

I mean, yeah obviously, but

POV: Can

(may not still be in that link)

no bump for the new '77 one, are we all fatigued?

I just figured someone had already mentioned it

This being the last one in the series.

Also, one of these tracks is "I want more" I believe

This being the last one in the series.

this is just insane to me, there is so much other great stuff out there

like this amazing 1970 live track "Entropy"

Well, unless it's later on in "Fünf", I don't hear any "I want more"...

no, not on there.

just heard Keele and it might be my favorite. the feral version of "animal waves" delivers.
