Can - 1975-08-06 - Arles, FR (FM/FLAC)



(FM broadcast FLAC)

Holger Czukay - Bass 
Michael Karoli - Guitar 
Jaki Liebezeit - Drums 
Irmin Schmidt - Keys 

01. Dizzy Dizzy 13:30
02. Bring Me Coffee or Tea 11:13 
03. Vitamin C 9:44 
04. Red Hot Indians/Meadow Sweet 23:07 
05. Chain Reaction/The Gypsy 22:51 

Total = 1:20:28 

SOURCE 1: FM recording, seven flac files with txt and md5, previously seeded here January '14 by fbauer. I was considering constructing a matrix of this and source 2, but frankly, the audio on this one is warbly and saturated, and source 2, even for an aud recording, is a significant improvement in fidelity. This may just be a more degenerated (but also more complete) tape copy of source 2. So I used this to patch in missing segments (e.g. starts of tracks 1+2, ends of tracks 2+5) 

SOURCE 2: Private 1st gen aud source, 3 flac files with txt. Needed work on track splits and transitions. Otherwise near-perfect sound.

A stereo audience recording. Sound quality is perfectly acceptable though not as good as the previous day’s show at Colchester. Not sure if this one has been widely circulated before. Exact lineage is unknown but it does sound very low generation.With thanks to Richard for the original transfer from his cassette.

Can - 1973-05-12 - Paris, FR (SBD/FLAC)



(Soundboard FLAC)

Can - Olympia, Paris 1973-05-12

Source: mixing desk/fm broadcast(?), generation unknown
SA90 cassette -> Protools -> AIFF -> FLAC

Quality: A-/B+

Damo Suzuki - vocals
Holger Czukay - bass
Michael Karoli - guitar
Jaki Liebezeit - drums
Irmin Schmidt - keyboards

CD1
01 Queueing Down (36:39)
02 One More Night (09:08)

CD2
03 Spoon / Stars and Lines (32:10)
04 Vitamin C (13:44)

This is a great recording of Can from '73 and I am curious to know if it might be from a French radio broadcast as opposed to a straight mixing desk recording. There is a slight tape hiss to it and a few minor audio defects i.e. slight muffling here and there, which to my ears sound the kind of generation artefacts you might expect from analogue copying. It is however a very enjoyable listen, check out the sample. This concert may have appeared on Dime during a flood of Can recordings about two years ago but this is from my source procured about from a dealer circa 2003/4.

Notes from Discogs http://www.discogs.com/Can-Zhengzheng-Rikang/release/756655

“Limited unofficial edition of demos recorded at Schloß Nörvenich between 1968 and 69, following the release of Delay 1968. In fact, different versions of half of the songs have been previously released, these songs are just different takes, unaltered recordings for studio releases and a few bonus unreleased songs (see: Greyhound Greyhounds and Melting Away).

No label or further information is contained within the art or on the album itself; whatever cutout carving was etched in was gutted from the vinyl. Apparently released 2006, number of copies pressed

Can - 1976-03-03 - Poitiers, FR (SBD/FLAC)

(Soundboard FLAC)

Lineage:
sbd > ? > cdr > eac > shn > FLAC > Me via soulseek > WAV w/ TLH > Adobe Audition 3 (DC bias adjust) > WAV > REAPER (speed adjustment, -0.22 semitones w/ Elastique 3 pro; fixed transition between tracks 5-6) > FLAC level 8

Holger Czukay - Bass
Michael Karoli - Guitar, vocals
Jaki Liebezeit - Drums
Irmin Schmidt - Keys
Thaiga Raj Ratnam - Vocals

01 - Morning Glory 11:47
02 - Bel Air 15:11
03 - Dizzy Dizzy 12:04
04 - Applause :08
05 - Mother Sky 9:39
06 - I Want More/Gomorrha/Improvisation/Vernal Equinox 30:36
07 - Vitamin C (fades) 6:33

TT = 1:25:58 

This is a totally manic, hot, and high-strung concert board rec of the group in an experimental phase. Ratnam sounds a screw or two loose, especially in "Bel Air" when he begins screaming "DESTRUCTION... DEEESTRUUCTIOOOOOOOON!!" 
"Vitamin C" sadly fades before it really revs up into "fully operational Can" gear. Nonetheless, this concert is a favorite of mine, and I hope everyone will like this revision as much as I do.

01 - Morning Glory 11:11
02 - Yoo Doo Right 12:20
03 - Spree/Vertigo 14:40

TT = 00:38:11

Unknown lineage audience source, very good sound! Never available before in lossless except very privately. The instrumental opener is one of my all-time favorite Can performances! The vocal contributions from Thaiga Raj Ratnam of the Philippines are unique, to say the least. Grab this one!!
