Isn't that phantastic? It's 1975 and I hear drum&bass, punk, new wave, synth pop, techno structures,years before it was invented, mixed with Jazz Rock, minimal, heavy rock guitar, even metal, funk and hip hop beats, visionary! In the 70s german bands like Can, Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream etc etc. took the next step in music evolution.
Jaki is literally on fire here. So is the rest of the band, but Jaki is seriously showing blur lines he's playing so damn fast. Yet technical all at the same time.
I remember this being on TV (Old Grey Whistle Test) and everyone talking about it next day in school. EWe all loved the mad keyboard player chopping the notes with karate moves! He inspired me to develop my own keyboard skills, but I never knew until very recently that Irmin Schmidt was a classical concert pianist and conductor!
I want to light a fire pit in my garden , and play CAN loud , loud , loud . Invite all the neighbours round and get them pissed and blow their Covid stressed minds .🦍🤔🐄🤣😃👡📿🧤💭💭💭💭💭🧣👙💜🖤💜💖👄👄💖💖💖💖💖💖❣🎷🎶🎧
I can't decide, silver surfer jacket or Clanger's chainmail? ...... Irmin Schmidt once again proving that the 70's was a decade that should be repeated.
Does anyone know if Michael's guitar is being run through the Alpha 77? I can hear the dry signal, but at times there seems to be another guitar present with quite a bit more reverb?
Michael Karoli said to this: "We never used synths until the very last records. '_Vernal_ _Equinox_' uses a ring modulator applied to Irmin's piano and organ; a synthesiser allows you to get a very large number of sounds from which you can choose, but Irmin's idea and everyone else's was to take an instrument with a certain sound and to change that sound into something else. That's more creative, again because of limitations; using a synth is too easy, you just turn a switch and you get a completely different sound. The Alpha 77 unit we used wasn't a synthesiser, it was a sound modification unit built to Irmin's specification. We used its ring modulators on the _guitar_ and bass, and it also produced flanging which was really a fault in the machine; it used a tape under tension for echoes and it tended to slip a little. Many of the effects in Can music came about that way, which is still for me more interesting and more creative than intentional things."

RIP Jaki, one of the finest drummers that has ever lived
Criminally unrecognised
@@rory693 He is very recognized :)
Agreed.....
Can's music arc is so extraordinary that they are really due much more recognition.
I totally agree. They were undoubtedly one of the best & most influential bands of all time.
@@zapbranigan5314 along with Cymande.
Also - "Kif, I Have Made It With A Woman. Inform The Men."

CAN are absolute legends.
What a BAND.
Brilliant. I had the pleasure of seeing them when they did some dates to promote Soon Over.. A unique and fantastic band.
RIP JAKI! He is not human. total metronome! Brilliant as always!
The keyboard players expressions are great, like something out of a 1970's British sex comedy
In chain mail too!
Mr powers
Keep the change strannix
all four great musicians
Yes!
This is new to me. My new favorite song.
Irmin todo un espectáculo genio
MR LIEBEZEIT ON DRUMS.
MR SCHIDT ON SOUNDS & KEYS
MR KAROLI, ON STRATO, ALWAYS ALIVE
MR CZUKAY
Totally, utterly brilliant. Check out their complete discography.
This is more advanced than the album track very cool
It has sort of the organic drive in the rythm pattern
that only few electric bands could achieve.
You sir are correct!

Thank you so much for posting this! I love CAN and never saw this OGWT. This is a great instrumental and terrific performance!
Breakbeats before there were breakbeats 😊 sample heaven!
0:55 Michael chucking a foretaste of "Teenage Kicks" in there.
That extensive wall-of-speaker system in the background looks similar to the one shown in photos from their Inner Space studio.
When a Metronome needs a Metronome it asks for Jaki Liebezeit' s drumwork.
On keyboards a kind of Teutonic Keith Emerson

Can at their most unhinged, possibly
Why does this only have 204 views? This is the tits.
Nothing screams the seventies more than the vest made with beer can pull tabs!
Bloody Wonderful, better than any music coming out now days (except maybe Jambinai), thx 4 posting :)
very very good all..........................
Tony Clifton on keys, ladies and gentlemen
Yes.
holy shit this at .5x speed is just completely fucked
hah! Chopped and Screwed Astro-Funk. THe drum beat is on point tho.
KEYBOARD KARATE by Irmin Schmidt

On the album version of this, Karoli's guitar sounds like a buzz saw, a fuzz he could fade in and out. Anyone know how he did this?
Distortion pedal...don`t know which one.....Holger probably made it 😅
I think by this time he had a ring modulator directly installed into his guitar
check my answer to @user-sp2ui6gd9l above
Irmin steals the show.
Wow
Superb...which came first...Can...or...Amon Duul...🥁
CAN
CAN were way ahead of Amoon Duul as musicians. Both are great, but CAN are truly great!
Pushed the envelope including the postage...then some more.
Irmin seems to be channeling Milo O' Shea as Duran Duran here.
Yeah
Not a huge fan of Landed but this particular track sounds great performed live here.
why? because the video has been removed and re-uploaded :)
I.m a Can fan untill the early days.💪💥Saw Can live 1976. Sorry but No Damo (or Malcolm Mooney) No Can
where can I get more of this????
THANX FOR POSTING
CAN
CAN
where did you get this footage? they took the compilation documentary off youtube and im tryna peice it back together
Cuando el sintetizador estaba en su primeros años
En sus primeros años, unos 15 después de su primera aplicación comercial, sí.
This is not prog rock. It’s genius not turgid blancmange.
its always the bands with the basic names
Well that settles it. Prog rock and punk are really two sides of the same coin.
Uh huh. Mr Rotten is a big fan of Tago Mago.
They both come from the Velvet Underground
Irmin 😂
This a cover. Of an American band
Um, no. This was originally a studio improvisation by Can.
Kann man nicht erklären und schon gar nicht reproduzieren.
