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

The artwork for this series is so awful, I do not understand it!

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

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.

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.

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

Goddammit Stuttgart is the one I meant and the only one I have a physical copy of.

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 ).

just picked up Paris a week ago and that definitely hit the sweet spot.

I realized I haven't listened to it so far, so I have it on now

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 (one week 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 (one week 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)

Wish I knew what drove the decision to cut some of these down, I'm not sure I understand the arbitrary choices to shave some down.

total madness

could be something with the boots themselves - I don't think this is sourced from the same recording. the drums sound quite different to me, as though this bootlegger got a lot closer. could also be something with the vinyl release, like maybe they didn't have the capacity to do a double, though maybe not because the Brighton release probably didn't need to be a triple...its 90 minutes but they could've easily cut out some of the second half where it's just dead space between sets. curious how the next one will be handled, if indeed that is the Fizz recording they should just use the version that was played on the radio, since it was recorded really well.

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
