Can Live Music (Live 1971–1977)

Can Live Music (Live 1971–1977) is a double live album by the band Can, released in 1999 and recorded in the UK and West Germany between 1972 and 1977 (despite the title referencing 1971). It was originally included in the now out-of-print Can box set, Can Box.

The album contains several free improvisations ("Jynx", "Fizz", "Colchester Finale" and "Kata Kong") that were titled for this release, and are not songs from any of Can's studio albums. The extended version of "Spoon" is from the same show appearing in the film Can Free Concert 1972 by Peter Przygodda, which was also included as part of Can Box.

In 2021, Mute Records released Live in Brighton 1975, which includes full versions of the tracks titled "Dizzy Dizzy" and "Vernal Equinox" on Can Live Music. Because these tracks are actually improvisations on the themes of those songs, they are titled numerically (as "Drei" and "Vier" respectively) as with the other tracks on Live in Brighton 1975.
