[Release Date: Sept. 25, 2026] Recorded on a sultry hot August night at the Roman Amphitheatre, Théâtre Antique d’Arles, Schmidt recalls, “I remember a very beautiful atmosphere. It was a summer night in the South of France, everybody was stoned and the atmosphere was very special”. This incredible recording mirrors the gauzy ambience of the evening. Can Live in Arles 1975 features the core line up of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli, and Holger Czukay. The concert, with Nico & Kevin Ayres as well as Ash Ra Tempel supporting, is remembered by two fans – including the author / journalist Pascal Bussy – for the sleeve notes, which also feature a translation of a French magazine article from the time. The new album is the latest in a series of live recordings that have been unearthed from the Spoon Records vaults and from fan recordings, then painstakingly assembled by founding member Irmin Schmidt and producer / engineer René Tinner.
