Can | Halleluwah | Live | 1971 [50th Anniversary Restoration]

My restoration of this early live video of Can, performing Halleluwah, a track originally from their album Tago Mago, which was released 50 years ago this month, August 1971. • Moon shadow coming down... Can’s Tago Mago is a masterpiece, and Halleluwah, which at 18 minutes long, took up the entirety of side two of the original vinyl release, always feels to me like the centrepiece of the album. Halleluwah is (Wiki:) characteristic of the band’s sound around 1971 in that it features a vast array of improvised guitars and keyboards, tape editing, and the rhythm section “pounding out a monster trance/funk beat“. The drum beat for which the song is famous is repeated almost continuously by Jaki Liebezeit, with only minor variations, throughout the course of the 18-minute jam. In one line of the song, Damo Suzuki’s lyrics mention all the songs from side one of Tago Mago: “mushroom head, oh yeah, paper house.“ This early live version of Halleluwah is played
