[@seanhayes1611]

Could listen to this all day; Can is, sonically, one of the most pleasing bands to listen to in my opinion.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Not always as 'pleasing bands to listen to'...listen to Aumgn or Peking O from Tago Mago! That's some challenging music for sure, brilliant, but definitely unsettling.

Yep! Agreed

The bass line that Rosko Gee added in this version is smooth as hell. I honestly prefer it to the standard recording. Really changes the vibe of the track

[@rarianfields]

And just when you thought they couldn't get any funkier too

[@baco82]

It's the groove 😎 Rosko Gee is an amazing musician with great taste... Can, Traffic, Phantom band and the great supergroup Go with Yasashita, Schulze, Winwood, Di Meola, etc... They were among the fathers of fusion in the 1970s.

[@ingomeyer4153]

I absolutely agree with,you, i only wish Damo Suzuki had not left the band and would sing on this perfect live version

[@RonaldWilliams-qh7zc]

Definitely agree in comparison to the studio version of this particular track 👍

[@tedcruzforgayrights2045]

Yo yo yo If you don’t already know They turned this into a song on buzzsaw delight Called “don’t say no”

[@michaeldera4298]

I bought tago mago in my teens from a second hand store that had a rotory album stand outside the shop. Also from there bought Roy harpers HQ album that had a sticker on it saying not to be resold. Point of the story is that I worked in a pub collecting and washing glasses. And back in those days closing time was 11.00 . Once last orders had been called the landlord would put on unusual music to hurry customers out the door. I gave him tago mago to play and it emptied the pub rapidly but the rest of us left behind cleaning up loved it .

[@xatarrada]

Problably the last voice saying "Hallo?" was actually a real telephone call on stage to a stranger. Amazing ideas, innovations and attitude that echoes until today in all styles of art and music.

@@cloudshigh5091 I moved to East London in 1989, at the time there were a few bands we would often see who were obviously influenced by the likes of Can, Neu and Faust. I remember going to see Loop in some basement in South London one night and they did probably the best cover of Mother Sky I've yet to hear. Faithful to the original but with their own twist... well worth a listen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6WpZn2LeNBkgJI

Snot Moonshake. It's Don't Say No. :-)

[@MarkT80014]

I feel conflicted watching/listening to some of these later Can clips. On the one hand, Rosko and Reebop are/were unquestionably talented and brought a lot to the band upon their arrivals. However, the tension between Reebop/Holger and later, Michael/Rosko was decidedly not the good kind of friction and eventually led to the group's implosion (although let's be real, they had objectively been on a downhill slide way before these two showed up).

[@TheGerged]

not Moonshake, but Don't say no..from Saw Delight album

[@ezrapound2843]

They're fundamentally reworks of the same song in any case, aren't they?

[@europainvicta3907]

I find the term 'Krautrock' so fuckin offensive. I saw an interview with Jaki Liebezeit when he expressed his dislike for the moniker. Apart from anything this sound is too sophisticated to be categorised let alone categorised by ethnicity and a derogatory term at that.

[@OttoPaert]

[@Dermot2927]

They lasted a good while after Damo left, and made some great, overlooked albums. I'm not a fan of Damo and Malcolm's more esoteric contributions - I love the Rosko/Reebop era - one of my favourite albums is Out Of Reach, and apparently even the band didn't like that one!
