I would say, Live in Paris 1973 is their best, especially after the remaster. I like Saw Delight, but love this concert. Don't Say No has questionable guitar part. But on this concert, the guitar is much better. In general, Can songs shine through much more live, where they have room to breathe. Can is very much a live band
@@Alex-nk1eu With "best live recording" I mean above all the sound quality here is top otherwise the taste of music is most time a personal choice. Cheers

Spoon Records are always looking for more audience recordings and broadcasts like this one. If you submit it to Irmin Schmidt via Spoon Records they might release it as they are now doing with the (now sadly late) Andrew Hall recordings circa 1975/6. Worth a punt.
Listening to this on mushrooms right now. Incredible. Cascade Waltz is especially really beautiful. Fuck, how does one even describe this? Jaki's drumming is wild.
How great is the quality of this recording. It definately transcends bootleg quality. Sounds like an inside job, a soundboard recording. Chief suspect, Holger !! Amazing !!
You're fvcking legend Frank- Thank you! Back in the late 90s, a few friends and I were kind of forced on a totally unplanned road trip from Chicago to LA, with a mandatory stop in Wyoming-don't ask. Anyhow, the only CDs we had were Tago Mago and The Residents-Duck Stab. Needless to say, my friends weren't to happy with me, whilst I was perfectly content! I must say, the looks on people's faces -especially in Wyoming and Utah- made the whole hellish trip absolutely worthwhile! 😃
We've had the Aston live recording from 1977, to be followed by the Keele recording of the same year. I just hope this will be the third release from that same year.
This collection starts with one of two fabulous versions of "Fizz" recorded in Great Britain '77 the other one is more guitar dominant, and the keyboards have a different tone. The voices in this version are a little more pronounced, but still delightfully unitelligible. This song provides some of Karoli's finest guitar playing imho. Fabulous dynamics amd rhythm lead trade offs. Liebezeit on the skins may be the most under-appreciated drummer ever
Jaki is my fave drummer and why Can are my fave band. The most talented guy in the band, his rhythms are utterly sublime and make the whole thing work. (and I like a lot of fabulous drummers).

Rosko is great on bass giving CAN new levels of groove, I will say however that Holger was much more dynamic over the course of a track, Rosko is a machine whilst Holger is an evolving entity
Thanks a lot! Discovered it today and I am very about that. I bought my first CAN LP 1970 and I have always loved Saw Delight. Do you have another CAN show?
the music 🎶 🎵 👌 😍 🙌 😌 🎶 live is always better U can see 👀 😉 🎶 what kind of groove the band has that 1 person makes a difference 😀 😉 usually the drummer or the bass guitar 🎸 player 😉 😀 😄 🤔 😎 OMG 1 29 2O23
Have an almost identical show but better quality recorded at Leicester on the same tour but it was not a BBC recording but from local Nottingham Radio Station 'Trent Fm'. Could this be the same gig? The sound engineer holds the original 1/4"mixed master reels recorded on the night. They are pristine sound but not mine to upload as I think he is hoping they get them licensed at some point. But very pleasing to see someone uploading these quality live sets. Have you got any 70's rock bands in this quality?
