Damo Suzuki's starting point was linked to his life as a bohemian and hippie seeking a borderline of freedom rather than as a musician or artist. in the late 1960s, he experienced the hippie life in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and at the age of 14 at the time, was also called "the youngest hippie". At the time, Damo was also a fan of jazz, James Brown, and the Kinks. In particular, he ran a private fan club for the Kinks. In the late 1960s, after dropping out of high school, he left Japan on his own and smuggled himself into the United States. Thereafter, he wandered around the world alone as a hippie. He traveled through 25 states in the U.S., toured Southeast Asian countries, and then moved to Europe, where he continued his wandering while playing the guitar. As for why he decided to go wandering abroad, Damo cited his love of geography and growing up near the U.S. military base in Atsugi, Japan, as factors. He had no money at the time, so he placed an ad in a European newspaper asking for patrons, and a rich man with a penchant for the arts took him under his wing for a while. In Europe, Damosuzuki got tired of this lifestyle and began playing guitar on the street, but at the time he only knew about three guitar chords and improvised all of his songs (this would be the beginning of his later vocal style). He also repeatedly performed odd acts, such as setting his long hair on fire and stripping naked, to attract attention, and wandered around Europe. The name Damo Suzuki comes from Kenji Morita's manga "Marude Dameo. However, "Dameo" was not easy to pronounce for Europeans, and before long the name was changed to "Damo" with an accent. In those days, CAN's live performance style was to play continuously for 24 hours or more, even in the countryside, taking turns to take a nap and eat during the performance before returning to the stage again. （In April 1970, during a chat in a café in the middle of a live show, the question of who should be the next vocalist after Malcolm Mooney, who had left CAN, was discussed with Holger Czukay, who was taking a short break while the band was performing, and Jaki. Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit had done so. They had already held a number of auditions, but had not been able to find the ideal candidate (and that was also due to the fact that he was "too good a singer"). One day, Czukay and Liebezeit found Damo Suzuki on the street playing guitar and making strange noises during a short break in a live performance in Munich. Damo was in Munich at the time to perform in the musical "Hair," but he was bored with that as well and had taken to the streets. Damo Suzuki was hired on the same day and was allowed to appear at the concert. At this time, a brawl broke out among the audience against the backdrop of the situation in Germany at the time, resulting in dozens of people being taken away by the police. However, the band was very happy with the result, and Damo was welcomed as an official member from then on. However, Damo himself had no interest in CAN's music, and only joined by chance. Damo himself said of this encounter, "I thought it was a strange band with a bunch of old people.
Damo, the lead singer still does improvisational shows with random bands you should check out his show he did with black midi that is somewhere on RUclips although just audio it’s really great:)
Once you hear Can, it becomes a bit of an obsession. Just heard them for the first time a couple of months ago. I'm so grateful for the live footage that's out there.
The free concert was my very first concert at the age of 14, can´t remember what I told my parents but well that I was a bit overwhelmed. A year later I got the Tago Mago album and since than its one of the rare albums I listen to every now and then. Since my old records are ruined by last years flood I was searching Can on youtube and found that there is this video . Thank you so much
Think about those times what a gift to us Can where going their own way need no light show like Pink Floyd they're my favorite band at the 70ties 🥫 Can comes to me when I'm 44 year's old now I'm 66 and listen to the music 🎶 🎼 🎸 I love and Put up the Volume. So your neighbors can dance with me and you 😂❤ 31:59
I live for a while in Germany (Rheinland Pfalz), listened to Can for a long time, but it's a sad fact that most of the youngsters here never heard of them. "OK, let me teach you some German music", I tell them.
@@sir.public Oh, I think they did aswell. Considering how huge Frank Zappa was in Germany, Beefheart was just one step away. But Can were very early to the party to begin with. Delay came out in 68..
More than 30 years listening Can music, and the feelings are always the same: wonderful!!!The Can legacy was enormous. (Damo is a fabulous singer, but we can't forget Malcolm.)
I know them all personally Holger Jacky Damo Irmin ..... We live together in Odenkirchen in a big farm 1990. It was a 300 People smal town near Cologne. As I went in, i knew Can from the Ege Bamyasi record but nobody personally. As i saw who my roommate's was i was kicked. Sorry for bad English im German friends
i saw Can on the first UK tour. They let too many people in and it was dangerously over packed. Damo fell off the stage. Jaki was a machine. Must admit it was better than the tour they did without Damo. Never seen so many stoned people in one place.
I was 15 when I saw them at Brighton University May 1972 and it still remains the best gig I ever have experienced. The strangest part is that there were probably less than 20 people in the audience but that gave plenty of room to enjoy in your own way. I remember just laying on the floor for some time just letting the music envelop me. Before the band came onstage some guy was laying on the stage for some time and I just assumed he was off his head but as soon as the band started playing it was Damo Suzuki (RIP) ! Wow I still get the shivers thinking back!
they were truly ahead of their time. one of the only bands that affect me in the same (mainly live in this context) are Swans, but only with their epic comeback trilogy of The Seer, To Be Kind, and Glowing Man. Mainly the ceaseless repetition of a single riff or chord for 15-30 minutes while augmenting the energy until it becomes a bombastic orgiastic freakout.. all while being based off one of their 3-7 minute studio cuts, lol. They’re definitely different, and I think I prefer Can in the end, mainly because they came up with this avant garde approach to rock music before anyone else did. Velvet underground were amazing in their own right, another of my favs, but never went as far as Can either live nor in a studio, not as hard and heavy, all while Can was incorporating many other genres such as middle eastern and afro beat, and magical electronics/studio wizardry (courtesy of Holger). Strong contender for the top 3 acts of 20th century for me
In all of the history of 20th century recorded western pop music, I don't think there's been a more-talented and eclectic collective of musicians to have ever formed a band than Can!
In all of the history of 20th century recorded western pop music, I don't think there's been a more-talented and eclectic collective of musicians to have ever formed a band called Can!
Back in the 80s, this footage would be considered rare. I used to collect this stuff on video. I wonder what my reaction would be if I time-traveled to my past self and said that in 30 years, all the Can footage ever released would be available for free on the Internet
Some stats: Filmed by Peter Przygodda (26 October 1941 - 2 October 2011) at the Kolner Sporthalle, February 1972. The shots of Can in the studio environmernt were filmed at Inner Space, shortly after they'd installed themselves there in the early parts of '72, and possibly prior to the the recording of the Ege Bamiasy album.
Sidebar: A full-sized Can promotional poster was included with LP copies of Ege Bamyasi. The image was a still frame from this performance film. I believe some were used in certain repressings of Tago Mago, too.
Ronnie M Saw Can in 73 ,I think, at the Roundhouse London and I loved them, Carole was not to keen though.Ended up with 7 or 8 of their original albums- best for me Can Tago Mago.
Lovely to see the band members in close up and in their prime. Oh how I loved them, so sad that Holger, Jaki and Michael have left us for other realms RIP guys a great album a "solo" of Holger's is Radio Wave Surfer I am pretty sure that most other members of Can contributed to it. Thanks for this and cheers.
9:38 - 10:38 during this minute Irmin Schmidt nearly manages to shift into another dimension as he is constantly alternating between focussed t-shirt Irmin and troll leather jacket Irmin.
I suffer from all three of them. OCD causes my Anxiety and then I Panic. I do enjoy Can from time to time for anxiety. Usually its Tangerine dream tho. Have a nice day friend
spoon is fantastic the power and energy and trance psychedelic explosions with damo's mad hair dancing !! Brilliant. Cheers Can always my favourite. Met Damo once he is a dead nice guy, gave him a hug.
This is some Far out Psychedelic, dense af, but consistently in perfect sync. my head blew up to make room for all this fking sound they are producing at once. Crazy how on point the rhythm section is..
I went to see them around that time at the Imperial College London, got there and the doors where shut not letting anymore in because of overcrowding issues.
You have to understand them as an integral part of the german music scene of that time. There where bands like Guru Guru, Amon Dül, Kran, Nektar, Ashra Tempel, Xhol, Limpe Fuchs and her husband, Tangerin Dream, Ton Steine Scherben and they all shared this vision of improvised music, creating in time and in communion with the audience. A symbol of breaking free from the repressive past
2:07 to 2:27. Holger is really getting in the zone. I saw Can just once, round about the time of this gig. It was an all-nighter at Brunel Uni in Uxbridge

let me tell you about luck, Andy. sometime in 1996, when I was working at Mtv in camden, a tiny excerpt of this popped up in Mtv's "news at night" programme. I was in the tx suite when I saw it, & ran straight up to the news department, where I enquired of merri randall- "where did you get that footage of can?" ""you mean this?" she said, handing me the beta SP master, on loan from Mute. I grabbed it & went back down to VT, where I made a copy onto another beta SP (broadcast quality) & then returned the cassette. about a year later, another colleague called to tell me that there'd been a fire at Mute & the tape had been destroyed. I made another copy of my copy & sent them the first one. otherwise it would probably not exist now. :-)
Sie haben ein paar Wochen vorher im Hoersaal 17 der Bonner Uni ein Konzert gegeben, das war auch sehr schoen. Wie danach im gleichen Hoersaal nur noch Willy Brandt 4 Stunden lang ueber die deutsche Wiedervereinigung.
@@kofferfischii sehr cool!!! Ich bin ein Ami, aber ich hab für ein Jahr beim uni Bonn studiert. Wo genau war es in der Uni? Es gibt Konzerthalle da? Ich erinnere mich nicht… Ich hab da in 2010 studiert, und liebe Bonn noch heute :)
WOW !! This is such a good editing job... not to mention the inspired performance... This is ESSENTIAL VIEWING for anybody interested in MUSIC.... CAN is not everybody's favourite band..... yet!
From what I get (born 88) , The Industry - German mainstream wanted light, easy music and is controlled by a very small group of people which have bad taste of music which is only loosing power since we have streaming platforms. Emvironment - We had big subcultures but they all were extremely anti-capitalistic, often gernerally agains the whole concept of hireachy (the opposite world of their parents),. The lifestyle was close to the Calefornian hippie movement - lots of Drugs, lived in communities, free love, fuck the system... So the fans had no money and the artists themselves usually did not aim to get rich. So you would need labelsbosses from other countries to make bands known, but the only person of influence I'm aware of who cheked out whats going on in Germany was David Bowie. But the guys from the neighour city managed to get known, revolutionizing the world of music ruclips.net/video/vNoFHdlMrtI/видео.html
@@hp3191 …hmm, don’t know 🤷🏻. Might be a glorification of the past … the human brain tends to forget more of the bad things and remembers the „good ol‘ days“ a lot more.
@@Wane34565 No wonder. They don't exist anymore since three of the five guys seen in this clip are dead. Why don't dipshits like you get informed before posting idiocies?
Remembering that time- lots of people didn`t recognize what`s going on in Germany in the 70s, bands like them toured in small cities, they couldn´t enter to any commercial succes! But it was the reason for me to be able to see them, cause i lived in one of those small cities near the Rhein (Rhine ?). Das waren die besten Gründe, sich so richtig zuzudröhnen, auch heute noch!!
Danke fuer das schoene Konzert, bei dem es nur konsequent ist, es zum allgemeinen Vergnuegen auch in die Bibiothek von RUclips einzustellen. Alex faellt noch ein, da gabs einen mit einer singenden Saege.

That was a great story about Damos experiences. I loved reading it. Thanks so much
Learned a few things there. Thanks!
I just discovered CAN, it's as momentous as when I first heard Floyd, Zep, and the Doors. I'm suddenly so much richer.
I should probably introduce my dad to Can, I grew up loving all of those bands because of him
Damo, the lead singer still does improvisational shows with random bands you should check out his show he did with black midi that is somewhere on RUclips although just audio it’s really great:)
Same
You should listen to Grateful Dead too
Can’t agree more, glad I’ve found them

@@kofferfischii sehr cool!!! Ich bin ein Ami, aber ich hab für ein Jahr beim uni Bonn studiert. Wo genau war es in der Uni? Es gibt Konzerthalle da? Ich erinnere mich nicht…
Ich hab da in 2010 studiert, und liebe Bonn noch heute :)
@@chrismatzenbach1967 Hoersaal 17. Sehr gross. Wie Hoersaal D. Hoersaal 17 fuer Konzerte, Hoersaal D fuer Kino. Ja, Bonn ist gut. Mensa Nassestrasse. Hofgarten. Rhein. Poppelsdorfer Allee. Universitaetsbibliothek.
Can / Faust, Amazing
Fabulous document of Can at their very best and in their right element... Love it!!
Going from free form loose incidental textural to that pulsating throbbing manic rocking trance is where its at...the range!
Hallo,
Ich war leider erst 15 und auf dem
Dorf🎉
Aber dank RADIO war ich dabei❤
Für immer unübertroffen ❤
very good band
Holger Czukay! Holger fucking Czukay!!
WOW !! This is such a good editing job... not to mention the inspired performance...
This is ESSENTIAL VIEWING for anybody interested in MUSIC....
CAN is not everybody's favourite band..... yet!
What a band. Just brilliant.
A really cool abstract band. I wonder why they weren't as popular as other bands from the 70s
From what I get (born 88) ,
The Industry - German mainstream wanted light, easy music and is controlled by a very small group of people which have bad taste of music which is only loosing power since we have streaming platforms.
Emvironment - We had big subcultures but they all were extremely anti-capitalistic, often gernerally agains the whole concept of hireachy (the opposite world of their parents),. The lifestyle was close to the Calefornian hippie movement - lots of Drugs, lived in communities, free love, fuck the system... So the fans had no money and the artists themselves usually did not aim to get rich.
So you would need labelsbosses from other countries to make bands known, but the only person of influence I'm aware of who cheked out whats going on in Germany was David Bowie.
But the guys from the neighour city managed to get known, revolutionizing the world of music ruclips.net/video/vNoFHdlMrtI/видео.html
It´s just devastating to think about how much poorer everything got ever since. literally everything.
In what regard „poorer“ ? In Bezug worauf?
@@bikemike1118 literally everything. soul, dedication, willingness to embrace alien ideas, curiosity...
@@hp3191 …hmm, don’t know 🤷🏻. Might be a glorification of the past … the human brain tends to forget more of the bad things and remembers the „good ol‘ days“ a lot more.
@@bikemike1118 bullshit. now is celebration of mediocrity.
It’s all still continuing! Dig deeper :)
absolutely awesome
CAN were a godly talented group.
@@Wane34565 No wonder. They don't exist anymore since three of the five guys seen in this clip are dead. Why don't dipshits like you get informed before posting idiocies?
the last time i saw them was at essex university may 17th 1975,which was convenient as i was a student there at the time.
@14:00 and after is the reason why i got into CAN. master jammers and groovers
Thanks for this!!!nothing like live CAN for shake my sunday,crazy shit stufff mann!!!!
Und ich war LIVE dabei.
Eijeijeiii, ist das schon so lange her ?
Hm...;-)
Remembering that time- lots of people didn`t recognize what`s going on in Germany in the 70s, bands like them toured in small cities, they couldn´t enter to any commercial succes!
But it was the reason for me to be able to see them, cause i lived in one of those small cities near the Rhein (Rhine ?).
Das waren die besten Gründe, sich so richtig zuzudröhnen, auch heute noch!!
Wondaful, after all these years :)
Muy bien vale la suscripción este fabuloso documental. Gracias Andy

Amazing they’re so talented
I've been trying to find the full discography of this amazing band for a long time. And now I find this. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Ganz toll, vor allem dann auch noch der sagenhafte Jongleur am Ende on the beat.
One of the most unique, progressive, distinctive, influential and downright fucking kickass bands of all time.
Damo is Japanese legend!
AMAZING
Danke fuer das schoene Konzert, bei dem es nur konsequent ist, es zum allgemeinen Vergnuegen auch in die Bibiothek von RUclips einzustellen. Alex faellt noch ein, da gabs einen mit einer singenden Saege.
RIP Jaki and Holgar
Sensacional! Viva CAN!
Great concert, good sound quality. Thanks.
This is mesmerizing :)
Damo was in my home town of Chorley Lancashire last year. He looked like a cool bad ass mofo rocker , just what he is. Must be late 70s now. Cool as.
