I don’t know anything about this video other than what the official Can facebook post says:

“Such a pleasure to hear «Sing Swan Song» playing live. It was in 1973 at Bataclan in France.”

Perhaps you know more? Maybe you don’t. Either way, what a treat to have this video. Prime Can in their prime.

I assume that if you’re here at this particular music blog, you are already familiar with Can, but on the off-chance that is not the case, here’s what I said about them for the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow Episode 26:

“Experimental group Can was founded in Cologne, Germany in 1968. Describing themselves as an "anarchist community"and largely ignored conventional methods, instead, constructing their music through improvisation and editing, using the studio itself as an instrument. Though the band did not enjoy much commercial success during their span, they are continually regarded as a highly influential group among rock, avant-garde and electronic musics. Though the group had a rotating lineup, drummer Jaki Liebezeit was a constant and “is credited with the band’s name, stylised in capital letters and standing for “Communism, Anarchism, Nihilism.”
