Robert (just let me get my hair over my face, before i answer you...)🥰

The first record I bought was the first Soft Machine record. I was thirteen and bought it with the money I got for my birthday. Still love that record and play it often. That way about 55 years ago.

That was bad, and I'm a Soft Machine fan.

Evil is in rear

It's hilarious how Ratledge could just go on and on.

Worst band name ever

Robert were one of the best if not the best drummer UK ever had !!

What was the band playing during the interview at the beginning?

oh God!! Those final 2 minutes. I would die from goosebumps if I played this track more than 3 times a day.

Excellent record, thanks!

Am I the only one worried about that organ sounding like a violin?

An historical gig. The Soft Machine saw play here the Keith Tippett Group (King Crimson also met them there), and loved their brass section. Shortly after asked Charig, Evans, and Dean to join.

Nice to see all three playing this live. It was heartbreaking to learn years later that when they came to record Moon In June in 1970, Mike and Hugh wanted nothing to do with it and refused to play on most of it.

Ready...

Mike Ratledge's solo is just mindblowing

70 years later im still working sound for myself but i dont hear anything

i moved to zollywood in nordh ymerical

my ghost jumped down off my knee and went to play with emily and she was emily and i jumped up and went to work for god ia m

One of the best groups of all times

Someone there who had a recorder!

Saw king crimson 1 time london palidium they were a mindwarp of cool musicianship treated like dogs by andrew llyod weber expected to do two sets a nite my blood boiled that musicians of this calibre were treated so badly .filty money who cares nothing about the destruction of beautiful venues gutted all over soho london england & homeless rough sleeping nearby nathan bowen brilliant inspirational street artist work on a wastedpanel nearby says it all jimi hendrix played there 2 the walls are the sort of illuminati photos u 'd expect of garrick flavour choice the bastards excuse my french im a musician o to be this calibre how dare ye treat the arts an ikea trash can or mcdonalds misery salad dress

Ratledge is along the lines of can 's sticks fcking genius

Always tongue in check well englisg french & german a mad fun mix shit this sounds so good which off the lyrics add ltr ons of ayers or wirh robin hitchcock delightful

Soft machine one of those beautiful bands i forget drift back to with essy indulgence thku Mcconnie & Allie , its their psychedic playfulness thats calls to me again & again o to have seen them live

music for life - living for music 😛🤓😁

On track two, the black and white one, isn't that Steve Hillage standing in the background behind the drummer? This is fucking amazing.....! The best period of music. Salud! Nick.

Haha, horns blasting in like a high-school marching band trying to be heard over the Soft's trio! Moon in June was great. Pianet sounds great under that first solo in Facelift. Is that Lyn?

Très très fort,il mon permis de savoir qui j'étais.

my favorite drummer/vocalist - the studio intro to hope for happiness is just on another level of cool

Merci d'avoir réactivé mes souvenirs de jeunesse...

Am blown away. Wow, what a find! Thanks. Nick.

That was f... beautiful thank-you for putting this up!

Neo blues in the background 🙂 Jimi was getting ready with Band of Gypsys.

This must have been shot on 16mm film, much better optical quality than TV of this era.

Is that Jack Bruce singing in the background during the interview?

На басу играет инженер Лапенко

I was born in 58. I'm listening to this for the first time having known almost nothing about this " group". Watching and listening to this performance what strikes me is its sheer, intense .... vibrancy ... almost as if it was recorded last week. I have to mentally pinch myself to remind me I'm looking at something from 55 years ago. Whatever the form of music there's something viscerally exciting about watching and listening to a small group of performers very familiar with each other in a " groove " making music together.

Music doesn't get better than the Softs

Fantastic!!!!

without the rain, tickee tackee tickee

Absolute masterpiece

fuck!!the keyboardest sux! even on record he totally has to overplay everything

What model of electric piano is on the top of the organ? I'm fairly certain it looks like a pre-200/200A Wurlitzer, rather than his usual use of Pianet/Rhodes

I saw them play live many times around this period - 1969 and 1970. A great band.

Though not a good time for Wyatt,I believe he was fired from the band around this time, many years later he graciously signed my copy of Third.
