@@ayuh8911 no no.. you are young and naïve and have not done LSD and listen to 70s PINK FLOYD, very obvious. I highly recommend trying it it is a life-changing experience. Specifically the songs "pillow of winds" or "echoes" on peak LSD. as wonderful as Can was, they didn't have nearly the comprehensive scope, the landscape of psychedelic vision, the compositional wholesomeness and brilliance of a song like "echoes" - AND.... remember that if you're an adult and discussing the work of massive rock bands like Pink Floyd or can we're talking about the lyrical content, the message contained… Can was almost nothing compared to Pink Floyd which had deep, wisely-subtle references to plant psychedelics and shamanism. Pink Floyd were like Terence McKenna. or James Joyce. I say this with humility and respect, you have a fuck of a lot to learn buddy 👑
damn, i love the fuckin amazing lightning on damo's face. leftside blue, rightside red. fuck, this album is almost howly. trying listening it when you're half a sleep, with cooked brains and just a little bit of consciouns left, on the edge of dawn. you'll be a different person
Agreed. I'm a lifelong drummer and i've been in a very improvisational band, and i've only just discovered CAN in the last year or so, and realized this music is the very thing i've been going for
I recently discovered this group. Man, they're true. Tops with me rite now. Along with another German prog. band Amon Duul. It can't get any better. But I've thought that a few times in the past.
I heard somewhere that Sid Vicious´s main influence for his " drumming " in their Flowers of Romance band was excatly this drummer ... I thought that was pretty naive, you know jack about precussion and you wish to play like this overnight - poor sod probably assumed this was all random ,thus pretty accessible and " punk " ( well, it´s actually pretty Punk in its own right , mind you ) (-:

I bought two albums on the same day once - Tago Mago and Ram, by McCartney. I finished this track and started playing Too Many People...and it sounded like an extension of this! Seriously, hear the first 20 seconds of TMP and tell me I'm wrong.
I love stuff like this I’ve been into music for 50 years and every so often a band comes into your radar that you had no clue what so ever about. This band really “can” jam and the lead singer is so untraditional I love it!
Oh, absolutely. Well, *one* of the progenitors of Mark E. Smith, anyway (r.i.p, Mark; we miss you). Mark had other progenitors as well; as I"m sure you know. But let us give thanks to Damo Suzuki for a lot of things, not least of which this beautiful song.
This group is among a bunch of artists I can still not describe, as the recordings I still have and enjoy seem to come from various countries. I loved EGE BAMYASI and regret that was one recording I always could only borrow and never did find on vinyl to buy. SILVER APPLES, AMON DUUL II, CAN, and even to some extent MAN ... in my head, they're kind of together. Generally, this is music I like and few I know want to hear or appreciate, so I listen by myself -- a pleasure!
Is that *really* what he's singing? I must confess, I've always heard it as "I feel pretty in a chimney...", but Heaven knows, I may be wrong. Did the original vinyl release of *Tago Mago* come with a lyric-sheet? I hope it did; I feel like only the lyric-sheet that came with the album would have the real truth. Online-posted lyrics cannot be trusted; not in the case of Can, anyway.
Can is one of those bands who are too smart so people get to know or understand their music.. Just like (SPARKS, swans, the velvet underground.... Etc)
ive seen and heard of a lot of music but how could i have never heard of this band until by accident today. check em out more and i found out they rock man. sweet canned meat. sorta like pink floyd and led zepplin but on their own.
"The lirycs make no sense" => for the band is not here to give a message, but a feeling. The whole song is just a feeling generator. That's why this song works for people that doesn't understand english at all.
@mediavault7 If I may I could give you a couple out of my top 5. Neu! would definitely be in (Hallogallo, Negativland) and Faust (Why don't you eat carrots) and Kraftwerk (Spiegelsaal)
What? "A Hard Days Night" is a completely different song that could have easily fit into this song's same year and you'd still say they are both fantastic and ahead of their time.
RIP legend. You gave us so much to remember you by.
So good, forever!
RIP Beautiful Damo

I love this band so much.
Really hypnotic,without words.For me the KRAUTROCK was one of the five most important musical movements of the history.
What are the others ?
Yes...what are the others would you say???
It was an amalgamation of other styles, as anything is.
I always prefered the German word for the genre. Kosmische Rock sounds more badass.

man. . . if hendrix stayed alive and got to jam with these guys. even pre damo days. wow what could have been.

Jaki Liebezeit is possibly the finest drummer I've ever heard.
Agreed. I'm a lifelong drummer and i've been in a very improvisational band, and i've only just discovered CAN in the last year or so, and realized this music is the very thing i've been going for
The human drum machine
ABSOLUTELY. and he seemed a deeply lovable, humble guy. A rare gem of a human being.
Facts.
Jaki’s The GOAT
Gracias Damo Suzuki. ..su voz me ha iluminado Todos éstos años ...RIP Master 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tago mago is amazing. Always.
One of the greatest bands ever👍👍👍

Just bought Tago Mago on vinyl yesterday. My first Can record:) they’re truly amazing
Damo is really cute
Completely hypnotic. Love this.
There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

First song captivated me, then another one and so on, liking this rabbit hole...
Sin lugar a dudas la banda que mas me ha impresionaooo en los ultimos 150 años
Pues si que eres viejo
This and Sing Swan Song are so calming.
Can is fucking timeless. Mind opening music. The best babies were made to Can.
Man, I only just thought of putting Can in as a search here...I'm amazed to find stuff, thanks for the upload!!
I bought two albums on the same day once - Tago Mago and Ram, by McCartney. I finished this track and started playing Too Many People...and it sounded like an extension of this! Seriously, hear the first 20 seconds of TMP and tell me I'm wrong.

this amazing album was relased un 1971 and not /72 ;) thanks for sharing. lovely track

It's good shit
It’s wild how this + pixies = thom yorke. I hear it so clearly now.
Fun fact Thome Yorke actually got a lot of inspiration from Can and Damo in particular. He said he really loved Future days too
Oh God yes, he's beautiful.
ive seen and heard of a lot of music but how could i have never heard of this band until by accident today. check em out more and i found out they rock man. sweet canned meat. sorta like pink floyd and led zepplin but on their own.
Thank you for this video. I love this band from many many years.
this group was too many years ahead like Pink Floyd too.
I prefer coffee.
Thank you.

CAN....Great Music
FANTASTIC
@TheLordbanjo thom yorke has said several times that Can influences Radiohead.. they even did a cover of "the thief"
This is AWESOME
wow ! i missed that song
Looki up the CAN DVD. You can get it at the official Spoon site or Amazon and elsewhere.
so good
Glad to find i Can get vidoesindies Fewcherr Daze.
You threw me out of my bed
And ask me, "Are you dead?"
Story of my life
If you can't these guys CAN.
I bet you have not heard that before (Forgive the pun}
Magic stuff from a great band!!
The shoes were very popular in the 70s.billy Joel wore the tennis version on the album cover of 52nd street.i wore'em in the 90s because i could..:)
