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 originally came as an item in the now out of print Can box set.

The album contains several tracks created through instantaneous free improvisation ("Jynx", "Fizz", "Colchester Finale" and "Kata Kong") that did thus not appear on any of Can's studio albums.
