I don't think many people were interested in Can by 1979 tbh.

Or by a new album by Can in 1979 rather.

one time I listened to Soon Over Babaluma while totally zonked and had an epiphany that it was about making pasta
Dizzy Dizzy is gathering the ingredients, Come Sta is impatiently waiting for the water to heat up, Splash is when the bubbles start forming, Chain Reaction is when the water starts boiling like crazy, Quantum Mechanics is the moment you drop the spaghetti in
idk it made a lot of sense at the time

was listening to The Individualism of Gil Evans earlier and thinking how much it reminded me of Can, only no matter good how amazingly great a drummer Jaki was - he was no Elvin Jones!

Listened from Eins to Vier this morning - it's another stellar release

I bought it on Bandcamp but they haven't released the downloads yet. WTF?!?

Drei and Vier put some seriously frantic drive on the Dizzy, Dizzy and Vernal Equinox grooves!

Are these the same versions that are on Live 71-77?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 3 December 2021 23:22 (two years ago) link
This was a really fun listen. I don't really know how it compares to the Stuttgart show...on both I just kinda zone out to the endless grooves. I think this one was a little better. It definitely went harder in spots. also the last track being sort of an extended jam on the "Vitamin C" ending was neat.
also it does feature a very quiet section on Side E (Sechs) - you can hear some people's conversations. kinda wild that random conversations had 46 years ago are now being heard by thousands of people (not that you can make out what's being said)
― frogbs, Friday, 3 December 2021 23:43 (two years ago) link
That’s my favorite part of the live recordings on 71-77 — the audience clapping is a whole other dimension to to the music. It’s part of why I think that version of Yoo Doo Right is superior to the recorded version. It’s so fun in the beginning and then at the end there is applause and you remember the whole thing was recorded live. What??!!! Amazing.

drum break on Brighton Zwei is my reason to live at the moment - the funk heart of Bel Air
― assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 13 December 2021 03:00 (two years ago) link
The Brighton set gets to the point more immediately, I think - it’s crunchier, longer.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 December 2021 12:32 (two years ago) link
And the crowd noise is an important ingredient. If you’re in public listening through earbuds or headphones it can trick you a little.
― Legalize Suburban Benches (Raymond Cummings), Monday, 13 December 2021 12:35 (two years ago) link
Any thoughts on what the themes for the artwork of the Live 1975 releases may be based on? Stuttgart/butterflies, Brighton/submarine..

I love the first two releases in this series but I'm also very, very cool with it being a single LP.

Was lucky enough to get a promo just now -- certainly quick, just half an hour long as noted, but four good jams, just being their exploratory selves.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 18:00 (one year ago) link
any recognizable bits? (maybe with a spoiler tag?)
― frogbs, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 18:02 (one year ago) link
definitely some "bel air" in here

listening to Saw Delight for the first time in like, a decade. I forgot how much Sunshine Day and Night made me smile. Call Me is a great tune too. It sounds like Mooney-era Can, but on uppers instead of downers. Fly By Night is so damn fun too. I actually think it's an interesting take on funk. Because they aren't quite a funk band like that. With some of these grooves it sounds like it's their first time playing them, but they're total pros so they get it right anyway.

and the drumming on "Animal Waves"! Wicked. imagine if you could isolate that.

It's the first of their albums I ever heard and I still love it, massively underrated

I'd heard from someone that Aston was coming in May and one from Keele University was coming in August. I guess he must've had an inside source. Keele I believe is the Fizz show which is really excellent and well-recorded. it was also recorded two days from this show so the Aston album (which looks like a single LP?) might be superfluous soon. whatever, I'll probably buy it anyway
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 13:49 (four weeks ago) link
