one of the illest live show i've ever seen. unbelievable escalating energy. blissful and transcendent.
no. the relationship of this music to the Velvets/Can is that of Parent and Child. Hulger Czukay was immensely influenced by African music, and the Velvets took cues from the likes of Steve Reich, whose work was also largely derivative of African rhythms.
