Had expected comments such as this ...just because an audience doesn't act like they do at a Madonna lip syncing binge ? .....to this admittedly highly funky groove. Which would imply one always had to do the monkey shuffle across the room when playing one of their amazing records ? .....Can was always more for a cerebral workout anyway.........👍🤯
Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny! Mind you, Can wasn't playing to party-on-down audiences; they weren't a party-on-down band. They were not a band to be boogied to (to use that echt-1970's word, "boogie"); they were a band to be contemplated.
The actual bassist (Holger Czukay) is in the left corner manipulating nobs. The man you see playing bass is Rosko Gee from Traffic. He helped them out with live shows and sometimes sang as well.
I was 15 at this time. We start to go out at weekends to a hippie alternative club in my town. Thex played Zappa Einstürzernde Neubauten Reggae etc. Can at that time was a little high for me. Now at 60y I still love this old damm good music. Thanks for posting
Can is one of the only bands I can think of that everyone, regardless of their respective musical tastes and bias, will always instantaneously agree is an insanely awesome band. This differs quite a bit from the studio version which is great!
I agree it's like a ode to joy, you almost loose the fact that it's prog rock and anyone can just mindlessly listen to it. I've listened to Jamaican zealot royalist symbolism in music on the grounds of good reggae song with friends.
They are the best band by far that has come out of Germany. Several key members have put albums out with Jah Wobble, and David Sylvian. They are worth checking out.
I knew Jaki from old Stollwerck Times. Just reading John Podmores book about him and start getting an idea for the First time what was going on There on a philosophical/spiritual ground
What an amazing groove on this version. Love it. CAN has always been (and still is) one of my favorite bands. So original. Met Michael Karoli in Vancouver in the late '90's when he toured with Damo. Met and hung out with Damo many times. Great souls,
I met and hung out with Michael Karoli's son for about 10 minutes, before the start of the Can Project gig in London a few years ago, totally unaware that it was him. At the start of the show, the compere said that his son was here, and I was like, hold on a minute, that guy with the long black hair I was speaking to looked just like Karoli. Yh, they do look very alike. Maybe there's a picture of him somewhere online.
That really coalesced nicely from a kinda windswept and interesting opening, to a funky alternative reality by the end. It was great to hear Holgers' mad interventions given plenty of room in the mix. They were intended to be the lead instrument (well, at least Holger thought so!)
It really looks like they're deliberately trying not to move even their feet because noone else is doing it. Must've been kind of a downer for the band with that extraterrestial performance
This was the version of Can I saw, only with Rebop on percussion as well as Jaki. I remember Rosko Gee stopped playing at some point and high 5d Jaki after he did something particularly awesome. Jaki was THE musician in Can in my opinion. Best band ever
Dizzy Dizzy was their live show meisterstuck. The genius of Can makes your head spin. College audiences in 1977 were rockin to dizzy dizzy. This is a tv audience, that's why they're glued to their seats. This is a great dance song, gifting your ass with the grace of funk while simultaneously blowing your mind. DD takes you higher even as you get down.
Thanks for loading this - dizzy dizzy was their signature encore for many years, and you can hear why - they kick ass with bigtime funk from the mighty rhythm section and karoli's killer psycho-acid guitar. Can is the best, and this is their best song.
Dizzy Dizzy was their encore number live and they pull out all the stops. Brilliant stuff. Michael Roscoe and Jaki are throwing down monster tracks. Can at their best: Dizzy Dizzy encore mid 70's with that Jamaican bass.
Super! I saw Can do this at Nottingham University around 75. Holger did bass and there was no Rosko. Holger still fed various sounds through the system so obviously his bass playing wasn't as intricate as this at times ;-)
You're aware that your answer makes you the only hung-up racist among us, are you? Even if you happen to be black, which you're not. Soul Train had YMO and Duran Duran among their roster. So free your mind, and your ass will follow.
Rosko for Holger on bass was a massive upgrade, Can got so funky, but stayed so intelligent. This is Can at their best, and to play in front of that audience - who would have thought standards of decorum were so strict in 1977? some great dance music wasted.
This is by far the weakest era/line-up of Can. After Flow Motion in '76, they really nose-dived. Rosko Gee and Reebop Kwaaku Baah did not make it better.
@@whatevershebrings Matter of taste. I've heard people say Future Days is their favorite Can; for me it's one of their worst. But the live performances with the Rosko lineup are pure genius; not everyone enjoys it of course.
@@geroldfirl performance doesn't matter when the albums suck, out of reach has some truly dreadful songs, and inner space is just sad to listen to knowing these guys did Tago Mago, Soon over Bambula and monster movie. I definitely admit Holger was not the greatest bass player, but he was very inventive, and his sidelining definitely worsened the bands sound overall
nah, the TV producers told them to be a good TV audience, that was the standard then for these euro tv productions. Heck the audience is prob totally random volunteers who dont know the band. it is a TV production, not a real concert.
This is why I love musicians. Anybody else would have turned this into a fight. Don't take it as an insult, but if you haven't heard of them, check out the band "War" - especially the album "World Is a Ghetto". Another act you may dig is Gill Scott Heron. If you already knew about them, sorry. If not, enjoy.
Totally. Dizzy Dizzy became their signature song after getting Rebop on bass, it's way funkier than the Czukay version. They did their best improv work on this too.
No, the TV producers told them to be a good TV audience, that was the standard then for these euro tv productions. Heck the audience is prob totally random volunteers who dont know the band. it is a TV production, not a real concert.

2024... and I am 47. And I still love this music.
Fuck ya,I’m 27 and love this music…Can rips
Can achieve the impossible, getting a 70's german student to tap his foot slightly to music, surely a sign this is the funkiest thing known to man.
Hellz yeah it's funky

@@PAULLONDEN But then again have you seen that bass player grooving?! better workout than most Zumba classes
@@PAULLONDEN Monkey shuffle? What's that?
@@stephendday Just like "the pony" some kind of idiot dance...🙈
If the people in the audience get any rowdier, a lecture is going to break out.
:))))
That's how 70's concerts were, you watched & listened.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Very funny!

Still listening to Can. 2022. Forever.
((2024 has entered the chat))

before talking heads... Can!
I agree it's like a ode to joy, you almost loose the fact that it's prog rock and anyone can just mindlessly listen to it. I've listened to Jamaican zealot royalist symbolism in music on the grounds of good reggae song with friends.
Every time they played this & every other thing they played it was different, this is later period Can.
Sadly, the Lead Singer just passed away.
I listen to MGMT, and they definitely have been influenced by Can.
I love the sound of the drums. Liebezeit knows exactly how to treat the snare, for producing this snappy, full sound. Delicate.
YES! I wish he got more camera time🤷♂️
One of the most innovative and consistently good bands in the whole groovy universe.
Fucking true
I want that jacket
Irmin Schmidt's jacket? with the silver surfer and a cosmic look? me 2 (இдஇ; )
dude yes, me too
How I feel when I see the elderly people xD :o that is mean
and I want that hat
Me too .
Still one of the most interest sounding groups i've heard
They are the best band by far that has come out of Germany. Several key members have put albums out with Jah Wobble, and David Sylvian. They are worth checking out.
You mind linking up us clueless noobs with some of those albums ? 😃
Back in those days, producers did not allow audience to stand and dance while these recordings were shootin' :)
Cherry Red drums,
Bell bottoms and Bass.
One more Can of this please....
Can is one of the best recommendations I have heard hanging out at a pub almost 20 years ago. Excellent band.
Sampling doesn't get any more old school than this. Cassette players! Amazing.
Sleep well Michael, Jaki and Holger. Make some short wave radio noises up in the sky!
Wow! You are in for a real treat if you've only just found CAN.
I've liked them for nearly 40 years. Not bored yet.
Seriously one of the greatest bands that ever was
I knew Jaki from old Stollwerck Times. Just reading John Podmores book about him and start getting an idea for the First time what was going on There on a philosophical/spiritual ground
what are your favorite Can live performances?
Thanks to Diego Capusotto and hes show
It's impossible to be bored of this amazing group!
What an amazing groove on this version. Love it. CAN has always been (and still is) one of my favorite bands. So original. Met Michael Karoli in Vancouver in the late '90's when he toured with Damo. Met and hung out with Damo many times. Great souls,
Glad to report that Damo was excellent in London this week. Still got it!
Damo's autobiography was great... He has always impressed me with his outlook on life.
Karoli died way too young
I met and hung out with Michael Karoli's son for about 10 minutes, before the start of the Can Project gig in London a few years ago, totally unaware that it was him. At the start of the show, the compere said that his son was here, and I was like, hold on a minute, that guy with the long black hair I was speaking to looked just like Karoli.

Holger in tune with the infinite by tuning in. It was ace.
this bass player is on fire! all in all highly delicous jam
Rosko Gee
accobra427 was in TRAFFIC ?
@@raymondbonington9355 yea

This is the first time I have heard CAN: think I need to hear more, WOW!
Was für ein cooler Groove,was für ein lahmes Publikum,zu Can kann man tanzen, Leute!
Irmin Schmidt's Silver Surfer Jacket is so old school. I love it.
we love you jaki, you metronome. michael you are missed too. my most favorite, most inspirational musicians.
perfection. from start to end.
truly amazing. it just bounces along like a kind of germanic ska.
Nice one. I'll let that one bounce around the brain for a while. Like Japanese Ska.....Life is good, Canned Up.
True gem.
They play as a whole.
With such a talent...
Kicks the shit out of the studio version.
Studio version has its own magic, but this is on another level🔥🔥
Doesn’t even sound like the studio version🤩
I keep waiting for David Byrne voice to come in,no doubt. Talkin Heads were listening to these at the time .
I never heard of this group but, after watching this i feel like i just found a gold brick!
simply amazing!!!!
How can the audience be sitting so still?
How can they not be moving to that monster of a groove?
Think it's called something like society
It really looks like they're deliberately trying not to move even their feet because noone else is doing it. Must've been kind of a downer for the band with that extraterrestial performance
czgibson It's an oldie where I come from... but your kids are going to love it..?
+czgibson bedazzled
+czgibson
Germans. Unbielievable. Sooooooooooooo Great.
this is by far my favourite video on youtube, I love everything about it
this performance is at least 10 years ahead of the game and totally Radical ; I dont think the audience had any idea what they had been given
Birth of dance music,
I think they probably did…It wasn’t cool in those days to leap about….
More like 20 years ahead! 😮
Don't throw ashtrays at me!
The beat dropping in the beginning is so damn funky and perfect
you can't hail jackie liebezeit enough.
Eines der besten deutschen Gruppen die es je gab the Brings the Rain yaaaa
jaki liebezeit
what a legend

How did I miss this one?

Oh my god, did they do nothing but great music. I think I am in love.
I love Can music thanks 🌞
This live version and Vernal Equinox are some of my favorite performances by them. Bring Me Coffee or Tea is also cool.
Stockhausen ♥️
Super! I saw Can do this at Nottingham University around 75. Holger did bass and there was no Rosko. Holger still fed various sounds through the system so obviously his bass playing wasn't as intricate as this at times ;-)
Don't you see? The audience IS dancing.....in inner space.
Thankfully someone who doesn't complain why the audience isn't doing the monkey shuffle .
👍🤯
@@PAULLONDEN There it is again! What the hell is the monkey shuffle?
It cannot get better....2023.....
This band gets me.
How can 50 people not absolutely love this.......?
Amazing as always. That silver surfer jacket though 🔥
The best rock band of the 1970s (and there was some stiff competition) But these guys were out there.
They should've been invited to Soul Train!
It would be atonishing. 💥
Yeah, a white guy should curate a predominantly black music show.
You're aware that your answer makes you the only hung-up racist among us, are you? Even if you happen to be black, which you're not. Soul Train had YMO and Duran Duran among their roster. So free your mind, and your ass will follow.
Awsome, top 3 fav bands .
without them many sounds would never have been played
Incroyable prestation, merci du partage!
The groove is uncanny
rip Jaki Liebezeit
Dig that jazzy jacket!!!
The professor was impressing his young female students!!!
I can’t Believe how versatil can be this band! Fucking amazing!
Аааааа!!!!Супер!!!
Love that jacket 😂
freaking awesome, thanks for share it!
Still in the disco era CAN rules...
Irmin wearing a Silver Surfer jacket is so ironic because he seems to obtain all his musical genius from the cosmos beyond mere mortals' reach.
Tragic news! RIP Jaki!!
BACH und CAN beide sind Botschafter für goood ol" germany.......hey immer noch
Rosko for Holger on bass was a massive upgrade, Can got so funky, but stayed so intelligent. This is Can at their best, and to play in front of that audience - who would have thought standards of decorum were so strict in 1977? some great dance music wasted.
At the time I didn't understand why they got Rosko in.
With hindsight it was a genius decision.
All Hail the mighty CAN !
Fake news is a new thing, back then it was fake audiences.

A guy's moving his leg
Made my day (after 9 years!) :D
How can you fucking sit STILL when this is playing!
love the intro this is one of the most entertaining live videos of can ive seen
just superb
That bass player is off the fucking chain
Rosko Gee, but my Can-favs are with Holger.
@@PeterPan-nh7yx I respect your opinion, but I think his playing is more dynamic
beatuiful
I wish Damo had stayed in the band
What a great piece of Music! But: The audience, sitting motionless in their chairs - incredible!!! Never mind the 70's...
nah, the TV producers told them to be a good TV audience, that was the standard then for these euro tv productions. Heck the audience is prob totally random volunteers who dont know the band. it is a TV production, not a real concert.

InsertName125 my favorite album from the ol low riders, the revolution probably won't be televised! Haha
I love the keyboredest jacket! Nice classic band!
such a great band and so wonderfully filmed by the WDR!
One of the best experimental Krautrock bands on the planet. Can can !
amazing stuff
that bass line is awesome
Wow they are a awesome band
amazing!
Great funky guitar playing from Karoli !
F U N K E E.
The secret word of tonight is groove! Den haben die Jungs bis zum Ellenbogen!
Bin Seit den 80s - heute Fan! Respekt!
Can,Caravan,Gong,Camel....those were the 70's Top Bands !!!!!!
Amazing rock band saw them in concert in Lisbon on 77 still on my mind
This is not the same version as on Soon over Babaluma!!!This version is a lot better!!!
Totally. Dizzy Dizzy became their signature song after getting Rebop on bass, it's way funkier than the Czukay version. They did their best improv work on this too.
Indeed...I found a bunch of music on them and i watched the documentary which was great!
Funkiness overload. Amazing...
So much more interesting than the rest of the top 40 crap that was happening at the same time in '77.
Guys, Germans took a loooong time to get into dancing to this stuff. They were saving themselves for Techno.
No, the TV producers told them to be a good TV audience, that was the standard then for these euro tv productions. Heck the audience is prob totally random volunteers who dont know the band. it is a TV production, not a real concert.
Wow, what Holger is up to! So, apart from everything else, Can also invented sampling.
