This is incredible, thank you.

And has anyone seen Damo live recently? I have, he's just...incredible. He played continuously in two parts of the set, each being 45 minutes long.

For those who want to get past the translator, I think this is correct:

"I wanted to say that Can, Each member of Can, was a master of the infinite freedom that comes from creating and setting one's own limitations. Michael Karoli's guitar playing..he's one of the few guitarists whose playing completely transcends his instrument. Rather than letting the guitar dictate to him what to play, he created atmospheres, textures and landscapes completely outside the history of the guitar. For this reason, his playing will sound new and fresh forever. We love Michael Karoli"

It's always exciting to hear John talk about the music that moves him. I'm sure most people on this forum are familiar with John's interview segment from The Heart Is a Drum Machine, but in case anyone isn't aware of it, there is a bonus feature on the dvd which contains an uncut, 45 minute interview with John which is quite intriguing and very, very informative.

Lucas...more or less, it's us here who provoked the release of that.

[Snowed In 11]

That's awesome Iva!! I always find John's interviews to be educational.

This is from the special features of a CAN DVD simply named "CAN". It's a really good movie. Two discs. First disc is one performance of CAN uncut. disc two is a documentary that has no real linear story.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I always disliked the "interview" for not mentioning Damo and Malcolm (Rosko Gee, Rebop Kwaku Baah,too)...
