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)

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.

And the crowd noise is an important ingredient. If you’re in public listening through earbuds or headphones it can trick you a little.

Any thoughts on what the themes for the artwork of the Live 1975 releases may be based on? Stuttgart/butterflies, Brighton/submarine..

One LP (and CD version) this time!
― Mark G, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 14:52 (one year ago) link
Sounds good, mind!

yessssss
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 July 2022 14:54 (one year ago) link
I love the first two releases in this series but I'm also very, very cool with it being a single LP.
― peace, man, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 15:00 (one year ago) link
did the bootlegger capture anything from the Damo era?

I gather this one didn't, based on past interviews.

love this stuff, can't get enough.

loved stuttgartstill need to get around to ordering Brighton
― nxd, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 15:52 (one year ago) link
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
― tylerw, Tuesday, 26 July 2022 18:15 (one year ago) link
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.
― frogbs, Friday, 12 August 2022 02:42 (one year ago) link
It's the first of their albums I ever heard and I still love it, massively underrated

New live album coming out Aston 1977

Yep, and into the Rosko Gee era! The sample track sounds really good, I'm glad this series is still marching forward.

very nice, I was wondering if we'd get some later period shows
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 13:30 (two days ago) link
The artwork for this series is so awful, I do not understand it!
― Davey D, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 13:31 (two days ago) link
I don't know, I actually like it.

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 (two days ago) link
i like the artwork too
― nxd, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:02 (two days ago) link
Can is one of the greats and I’m never going to complain about getting more live material at all but for some reason none of them have hit like Brighton for me and I don’t know if that’s because that was the first one so it was new and exciting and I put a lot of time into listening to it or if I just actually like that one more than all the rest on a purely musical level.
― Slim is an Alien, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:05 (two days ago) link
In other words it feels like a case of the latter but I could be blinded by it actually being a case of the former.
― Slim is an Alien, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:07 (two days ago) link
Stuttgart is the first one, and I kinda agree the next two were kinda superfluous after that. Paris is different though and I suspect the next two will be as well
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:08 (two days ago) link
Goddammit Stuttgart is the one I meant and the only one I have a physical copy of.
― Slim is an Alien, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:09 (two days ago) link
Paris is great, it’s probably my favorite right now (probably because I was listening to it just the other day. Catch me on another day and I might pick a different one ).
― President of the Canadian Council of Bassoonists (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 14:36 (two days ago) link
just picked up Paris a week ago and that definitely hit the sweet spot.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 16 April 2024 15:23 (two days ago) link
I realized I haven't listened to it so far, so I have it on now
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 15:27 (two days ago) link
Is this a double album? The bootleg of this gig lasts 78 minutes.
― My God's got no nose... (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 15:39 (two days ago) link
... or do we have another Cuxhaven on our hands?
― My God's got no nose... (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 April 2024 15:40 (two days ago) link
I suspect that will be the case yes, only the 1st four tracks. 4th track of the boot = Dizzy Dizzy = 4th track here as well.
So probably going to miss the last 3 tracks (sunshine, I want more, kami kazi attempt)
