Can
Live In Paris 1973 MUTE/SPOON
Latest in live series, first with frontman Damo Suzuki.
Just occasionally, there is the sense that Can are a little over-dominated, flooded by the at times orthodox noodlings of guitarist Michael Karoli. No such problems on this album, however.
Recording in May 1973 at L’Olympia in Paris, this gig captures Can at their airborne finest, with the group’s elders Jaki Liebezeit on drums, Holger Czukay on bass and keyboard player Irmin Schmidt not so much jamming as creating a space, a context for the younger band members to flow, for frontman Damo Suzuki to flutter like a butterfly buffeted by the North, South and East winds of sound.
