This is a live version of 'November' (featured on Can's 'Out of Reach' album) from the John Peel Show on May 14th, 1975. This recording is featured on 'The Peel Sessions' (1995).
People new to CAN often name a couple of bands who “influenced them” until you point out that CAN came first. They are the mothers of a hundred bands in a hundred genres.
Funny story. I put this on as ambient music for my 7th graders as they wrote essays. Had to turn it off because after a while they were just zoned out. One noted how they felt "vertigo" as they listened. Definitely free-writing music, but essays...not so much.
I must have been living under a rock until you tube came along. Can. Captain Beef heart Tom Waits are just 3 acts I would never have dreamed of listening to. Tape Kebab is one of the best things I have ever heard
same.. knew that piano riff sounded familiar, just haven't listened to lindstrom in ages so I forgot where from. CAN is so dope. knowing this was CAN just makes me appreciate them more!
This is so amazing!!!!!! I’ve needed to get my soul back for a while now, felt excessively dissociated and music is always, and forever, my way of coming back to life. Never heard of this song by Can until the other night, and my heart is beating in heaven with this mesmeric band. That guitar....so so so beautiful💕
I would dearly love to know why the Peels Sessions album hasn't been remastered and re-released with everything else. There is stuff (very good stuff) on there that cannot be heard anywhere else. And it's not just an "historical interest" type of thing. These are brilliant performances.
@MrMeddled - I don't feel the Mooney stuff has aged badly- Maybe it's personal taste- but there's some far reaching wide scoping material- from archives or from Monster Movie that is essential and just as timeless as any of Can's work- If anything aged a little poorly it was late later 70s Can- where they seemed to be more derivative of mainstream -relatively speaking- But even that material will be subject to review and greater respect in due time
I comm: Per il bene dei popoli è bene che gli staranieri e gli sconosciuti si incontrino, e si amino, così che il genere "homo" si evolva nell'unità e nella pace, in equilibrio tra tecnica e natura, favorendo lo spettacolo del creato. Una equilibrata amicizia è un buon tipo d'amore. Fino ad oggi l'uomo non ottenuto il carisma di una Terra Promessa per il danno di pochi, il loro veleno stringe il mondo come "Tentacoli", la scolarizzazione e l'intelligenza li taglierà.
@MrMeddled Mooney stuff, aged? You are bullshitting to the fucking moon. Radiohead covered Thief not long ago and practically introduced a whole new generation to Can.
It's also called november? I have only heard this song labeled "Mighty Girl," and this is the only recording I have heard. Are there others? It's a great song. Also check out my remix of this song if you have the time. it should be the 1st video under yours if you search "can mighty girl"
Why did that fool compare Can to The Beatles & Radiohead? - they have nothing in common. Why can't people just say they like something without shit-canning everything else? Musical taste is a personal thing.
@MrMeddled - Got to agree- Having musically grown with Can since just before mid 1970s- there was no way to take Radiohead seriously- This bunch give you a fucking good ear for poseurs- fakers and wannabes- And a good ear for the real thing
Hey why argue, all are great bands. IMHO some are greater. Will I ever put on a Britney Spears record, probably not. Will I play Opeth,Gong,Can,Gentle Giant,Faust,Camel,Slayer,Rush,Genesis,Dream Theater,Porcupine Tree,Oasis,Joni,Coltrane,Creme,Coleman,Dylan,Ghost,Pantera,Love,BEATLES,Yes,Moodies,Laura Nyro,Igor,Bach,Mozart---Hell Yes and many more.
I never listen to the two tracks from this session. Not sure about cheesy, just a bit dull by their usually very high standards. They sound like they were going through the motions, which is very unusual for them. The rest of the Peel Sessions CD is far better.
