This stunning performance by the Krautrock legends Can was recorded live on the John Peel Show (October 8th, 1974). This track can be found on 'The Peel Sessions' album (1995).
WOW!!! I just tried DMT for the 2nd time while listening to this for the 1st time and it was seriously one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. It left me with tears in my eyes, trying to catch my breathe.... and then "all gates open" (another song I've never heard before) played next and couldn't have been a better follow up-absolutely amazing!!!
I'm interested - how aware of the music were you during the trip? Could you focus on it, or was it 'background', or perhaps it helped direct the journey?
I had a kebab 3 days in a row this past week. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and am now listening to this on a Tuesday. Oh it's Wednesday now, 6:51 in the morning, I need to go to sleep.
Krautrock is not dead, it just smells funny...(paraphrase on Classic comment on jazz by Frank Zappa...). ;-) Can, Faust and Amon Düül II are my house gods since 1977.
Been a Can Fan for nearly 40 years and I NEVER heard this before. Can at their best. Always edgy.. Sometimes uncomfortable, but always enjoyable. Thanks for posting this great track. Mart.
Why this hasn't been re-released with everything else I do not know. Even "Out of Reach" has been remastered and that album isn't a patch on the Peel sessions. I can only assume it has something to do with the recording rights.
don't think this was "live" as such. Assembled from a recording session. Such a great cd of JP sessions Kind of a history of CAN from Damo through Babaluma and beyond (when things tailed off tho we loved them still). Best band ever
Awesome upload man - I last listened to this years ago, where from some strange happenstance, it was in my local library. I think they must have been a little odd there.
For ever Jaki Liebezeit, for his legacy, for his invaluable musical contribution. Hugs to all, from a Brazilian fan!
no no no no no.. they came from the future AND another galaxy!
I always used to drive around in my car listening to this song ... and every single time was an amazing experience
tarantism I think all music is better when you listen to it while driving around aimlessly.
tarantism are you from the south of Italy?
I was born 10 years later, but will never get enough of this song.
Wow! Just Wow. Loved Can for 40 years, only just heard this track. Fantastic.
Extremely good.
I've literally got tears in my eyes, This is so fantastic.
Jupp
Wow... me too. I cry when listen this masterpiece of Can!
Oh special parasites

😅😅
I saw th em many times. So fortunate .Michael unique .
After they played this on the radio, Peel said "Another example of a session which is better than the band's current album". I'd agree with that.
Can is 🌞
just so great..
great solo! pity this album isn't more widely available, thx for putting it here!
Brilliant both as a band and as individual musicians

Yes!!
heaven in a Can
October 8th, 1974? I'd be less surprised if October 8th, 2974 was cited. Can... eons ahead of time.
Yeahh very ahead of time.
Kannte den song noch nicht und wußte v.d. LP nichts
.. feeling like one more night & future days
Tks

Michael Karoli, the most underrated guitarist on the planet
Michael Karoli is great.
metamorphosis67 you'll get no argument from me.
amen
Great style indeed.
metamorphosis67: All of the members of Can were underrated musicians at their chosen instruments.

i dont usually take notice of people who say this or that is ahead of its time. But if this is from 1974 i have to agree
rip
The track's title makes me wonder ... Maybe "Can" isn't English, but the Turkish word "Can" which means "Life" ... 🤔
They did a album named ege bamyasi that is a Turkish word
@metamorphosis67 si!
are there two layers of bass? But it's live, could the keyboardist be playing left hand bass as well?
