Not my fave era from Can, I prefer the '68 - '73 stuff - but shit this is good! When I first put on the Landed album (which this is off) I was underwhelmed. Then this came on. It has such typically incredible drumming from Jaki Liebezeit and the whole track moves t such a pace...breathtaking. For me, the one of the highlights of Can's entire 'post-Damo' era.
Even when they're doing "fusion," they're still droning. This is a good thing, by the way. The only bands who I have heard consistently hit that drone that pulls you out of your body like an oyster from a shell are Can, the Velvet Underground, and Magma.
I remember this from the time, and thinking WTF is that guy doing to his organ? It was shorty after this that Irmin Schmidt broke his leg and the tour was cancelled. It was like Beefheart dumping Woodstock. How different things coulda been. Irmin Schmidt is remarkably small for such a crazy guy.
Vernal Equinox is from album "Landed" published same year as "Blow by blow" (1975). It's music era when jazz fusion, jazz-rock became popular...and when people were playing as crazy. You should check out band Isotope, song "Illusion", for example, same year 1975.
the recurring nightmare of history... jeff beck turned into jeff beck and can turned into can. (it made me think of their interview on the stairs in the german language pseudo-documenting program.) just because you know you're being played this time doesn't necessarily help you the next time you open the door. at least the band got some shiny new clothes thrown into the bargain.
Jaki, one of the BEST drummers that ever lived.

@dirtbag1713 Maybe just a little bit. It could also have some Mahavishnu influences too. Jazz rock was big back then.

wow - no such thing as an ordinary jam in the can oeuvre. Dig the chain vest, and gloves on bass (why...) and everyone playing great rhythm.
