CAN....S and D?

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.

... or do we have another Cuxhaven on our hands?

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
