      Every single song they ever played outside the studio is like that. If you like this style of long-form slow buildup CAN, then nearly every single live they played is the best CAN you've ever heard. There's over 50 lives on soulseek. They should all be on Spotify really, every single one of them is completely new and super enjoyable

    You could rarely tell what Damo was saying, and I never cared. I saw Can play in 1974 just after the album Future Days came out, but he had left by then. It is wonderful to have this piece from the end of his time with the band. It would be great if there were a live version of Future Days (the track).

      I would've given my right nut to see CAN live. Damo sums it up best in the BBC Krautrock documentary: "I don't have a much a memory. At the time I was a quite stoned. And a...that's it."

    Damo's vocals are part of the sound. Both his voice and lyrics were the spark that drove Can to record their best albums. But listening to him also makes me think there's no way a band like Can could ever gain success in today's modern culture. Today's audiences would have trashed Can, especially Damo, mercilessly. Yes, retrospectively, we know he is a legend, but if he was brand new on the scene, no one would have given him a chance, sadly.

Hence why I’m saying people in my generation (millennials) and zoomers aren’t really accepting of experimental music like the boomers were.

Experimental? sure. Full blown avent Gaurde? Nah, that's reserved for artists like beefheart, can, velvet underground, residents, the fall, Zappa, etc, All of whomst have cult like followings that kept em financially afloat. If Can burst on the seen today im sure they would be able to gain one of these cult followings. But I will say that America is particularly brutal to exipermental musicals and they would def fare better in Europe.

      Yeah, I feel bad the Damo era of Can didn't last longer, but watching a recent interview of his made me realize he'd have left sooner or later anyway. Singing with the same musicians for 4 years was already really trying on him. He's really restless and now literally has to sing with different musicians every time he performs to keep himself happy.
