In 1973 metaphysical transporter and singer DAMO SUZUKI left the legendary experimental rock band CAN, to which he gave his voice and energy on some of the bands most ground breaking music albums and eclectic live shows. Going on pilgrimage and a journey for mystic exploration that still lasts on until today, Mr. Suzuki then started his own live music project: The DAMO SUZUKI NETWORK, traveling the world to perform completely improvised live shows together with primarily young and unknown musicians from local psychedelic underground scenes. – https://www.damosuzuki.com/
Sadly we lost Damo Suzuki on February 9, 2024. I very much regret that I never got to see him live. Looking for video of times he played Philadelphia I’m even more upset that I never made it out. I found a couple of his shows here one with both Bardo Pond and Stinking Lizaveta ( I just noticed both videos have the same date either that was a very busy day for Damo or one has the wrong date). The Bardo Pond set is also available as an audio download from archives.org. I’ve thrown in some other things I found including an amazing Can documentary from 1972.

Singer of Can collabs with locals Bardo Pond to create a near two hour improv jam session. This was by far the greatest psych show I’ve ever been to.
