In 2012, Stephen Malkmus and the Cologne-based band Von Spar performed Can’s album Ege Bamyasi (1972) in its entirety at Week-End Fest to celebrate the record’s 40th anniversary. Matador Records (US) and Domino Records (UK) later released the recording in a limited vinyl pressing of 3,500 copies for Record Store Day.
And now – eight years later –the recording has finally hit the internet. As of today, the performance is available across DSPs. Listen to Malkmus and friends take a spin on one of German psychedelic music’s defining documents here..
Watch a short documentary on the concert featuring Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit below…
