It's like they carried on the torch that the early Floyd was carrying until they went super commercial with Dark Side in 1973

@@Schwertfisch13 CAN was in a completely different world though, even their stuff from 69 is a lot different from any of PF's stuff

@@Schwertfisch13 That’s right. Floyd would often change songs when performing live. Two of the most experimental groups in rock.

Every single song they ever played outside the studio is like that. If you like this style of long-form slow buildup CAN, then nearly every single live they played is the best CAN you've ever heard. There's over 50 lives on soulseek. They should all be on Spotify really, every single one of them is completely new and super enjoyable

lucky

+Dylan Bickerstaffe Damo didn't care either...XD

I saw Damo live a few days ago and could barely understand anything, but it was incredible

I would've given my right nut to see CAN live. Damo sums it up best in the BBC Krautrock documentary: "I don't have a much a memory. At the time I was a quite stoned. And a...that's it." Always nice to see a fellow Bickerstaffe!

@@frenchguitarguy1091 Singing is a very natural human skill. There are very little of the 7.950.000.000 People on earth, they can not sing at all. Mr. Suzuki is one of them. A dazzler that doesn't fit this extraordinary band at all. But he wasn't allowed to bawl there for very long either.

@@besenwieslersepp1011 Bruh

on some recordings of the Edinburgh set its listed as "Stone Strike", so it would be one of their 'instant compositions' performed on stage.

that's interesting to know - he's kind of on fire here, bit of shame eh?

Interesting to know this, thx

Idk about that, I think they're chops r timeless and would receive recognition if it came out today easily.

@@russellhenrybieber6620 Nah, people would trash the second half of “Tago Mago” as self-indulgent rubbish, and would make fun of Damo’s vocals. It’s a crappy world we live in.

@@psychedelicpiper999 Nah just look at Swans, or godspeed you black emperor, plenty of room for dense experimental musicans to make it despite the boomers telling you good music docent exist anymore.

@@russellhenrybieber6620 Ehhh, they’re alright. Too much droning. I do like some other modern artists here and there, though, but they were trashed for going experimental. Hence why I’m saying people in my generation (millennials) and zoomers aren’t really accepting of experimental music like the boomers were. I’ve seen the same critics who praised Godspeed, You Black Emeperor and Swans, trash MGMT and Animal Collective for being too “self-indulgent”.

@@psychedelicpiper999 Yeah but Mgmt and Animal Collective didn't go from making poppy indie music to making 20 min long post rock compositions they went on to make poppy indie music with some psychedelic flare and interesting recording techniques. Experimental? sure. Full blown avent Gaurde? Nah, that's reserved for artists like beefheart, can, velvet underground, residents, the fall, Zappa, etc, All of whomst have cult like followings that kept em financially afloat. If Can burst on the seen today im sure they would be able to gain one of these cult followings. But I will say that America is particularly brutal to exipermental musicals and they would def fare better in Europe.

годно!

Similar to Neu! we're the voice was just part of the colouring for the music it went with.

nice

@@hanfordreach6849 nice

a bootleg.good commercials: tago mago, delay 1968, mother sky and the kraut-band:: "faust" (and you look like me ?!)

The improvised live stuff was amazing....

All their stuff was improvised. The studio stuff was edited together from hours of jamming.

Yeah, I feel bad the Damo era of Can didn't last longer, but watching a recent interview of his made me realize he'd have left sooner or later anyway. Singing with the same musicians for 4 years was already really trying on him. He's really restless and now literally has to sing with different musicians every time he performs to keep himself happy.
