LIVE IN KEELE 1977 (New LP)

Double vinyl LP pressing with etched Side 4. Can Live in Keele 1977 is the newest release in a series of live albums that have been unearthed from the Spoon Records vaults and from fan recordings, then painstakingly assembled by founding member Irmin Schmidt and producer / engineer René Tinner. The long-awaited recording of Can Live in Keele 1977 – this is the performance that has been requested the most since the series began. Live in Keele 1977 is a dynamic document of late-period Can. Recorded in March 1977, the core line up of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, and Holger Czukay are augmented by the addition of Rosko Gee (Traffic) on bass. Gee’s recent addition to the line-up meant that Holger Czukay was freed up from bass duties to perform “”waveform radio and spec. Sounds””, manifesting here as otherworldly sounds, samples and what one reviewer of a later show described as “”moontalk to a white continental telephone””.
