Liebezeit vs Baker vs Bruford vs ____________________

I doubt it, and anyway you can't think like that -- what would you do in the best case scenario?
What a dream.

Playing a tiny drumkit which barely came up to his knees, no bass drum

huh, had to look up his setup after reading this, i like it:

Jaki seemed like a wonderful old fellow, really enjoying himself and delighted with sheer love being beamed at him by the audience... I'm sure H-J didn't mind, he's Jaki Liebezeit after all.

(xp) There was an interview and Q&A after the gig and Jaki explained why he'd abandoned the traditional jazz/rock kit, he called the hi-hat, the "Charleston Machine ", because he said it was added to the drumkit at the time of the Charleston craze... don't know if that's true but it's a good story!

going to miss Jaki tonight because of various things, but good luck emil.y!

emil.y please wear a vest (chain mail optional) and then think about irmin s in this video
you could also pull some of those dance moves

This will mean nothing to American ILXors and very little to UK ILXors either, but this guy was at the gig last night, goin' apeshit.

but Liebezeit is making me wobble

i see what u did there

Jaki was very much shy/not speaking much English, but Jochen is so so nice. But even just being around for the soundcheck, where drum tests are always the worst part, and I just thought... this is not the worst, it's the fucking drummer from Can. Holy crap. I am a ridiculous human, mind you.

Also we were trying to take sneaky photos backstage but then they took photos of us. <3 <3 <3

Wow!

I'm glad it was a positive experience!! I want him to live forever if possible.

Unless he wants to retire his human half and carry on as a machine. That'd be ok.

Picked up Cyclopean at the store today, Irmin Schmidt is on it too -- reminds me a lot of the Secret Rhythms stuff (Burnt Friedman is on it too)
It's really short and sounds like one long song. I like it.

The Baker family are sad to announce that Ginger is critically ill in hospital. Please keep him in your prayers tonight

ok, that link appears to start at about the right place. I noticed the one i had on Facebook started 3hrs and 9 minutes into a longer recording. Looks like that's bookmarked at the right point though
