I was at that gig and it was great . They were at the top of their game.

What a shame about the shit quality

It sounds like some of the lyrics in this version of Pip As Uncle Dick But Peter Spoilt It are different, but I can’t understand what Mike is saying there (the vocals are a little bit hard to hear)

Hello to Here & Now and co and all other eternal peoples, the recent midsummers eve/day Stonehenge free festival gathering 2024, was a cosmicly amazing successful event , I was there and pleased to see all the free natural eternal peoples of the infinite wild natural eternal cosmos enjoying themselves, there WILL DEFINATELY soon be the return of the Stonehenge free festivals FOR ETERNITY , REGULARLY, and ALL other free festivals also FOR ETERNITY , the IMPORTANT thing is, the more the natural wilderness returns back to the northern side/edge of Stonehenge (where the small "barrow hills" and traditional pyramid stage/ main festival site area is), i.e. the tarmac, roads, fences, artificial things e.t.c. being taken up, and the natural mud, turf and other plants growing back,, the sooner the better, and the Stonehenge free festivals Will DEFINATELY return even MORE sooner it is PRIMARILY NECESSARY for the northern plains tundra/fields ( i.e. where the main free festival, pyramid stage , small" barrow hills" usually is) to become completely natural wilderness again , there will still be a route to the south of Stonehenge for traffic travelling east to west/ west to east, and yet that route will eventually have the tarmac removed e.t.c. also , and then just become a flat dry smooth natural mud route that vehicles can STILL use 100% safely o.k. at the same speeds as before, (that southern only (east to west/west to east) road re-naturalisation (eventually back to a vehicle safe flat dry mud road) is in the more distant future, but to the sides and northern edges all around Stonehenge ,re-naturalisation back to completely natural tundra is VERY DEFINATELY IMMINENT and IMPORTANTLY it is better NOT to actually scorch/burn the actual turf/grass soils e.t,c. in any way , we are elf minimalist-tech eco-friendly(primarily) peoples, Stonehenge is here for ETERNITY , and so are we ALL, and so is all our eco friendly cosmic eternal music equipment e.t.c. any planes, helicopters, U.F.O. , other craft e.t.c. e.t.c. in the sky and space is ONLY Soviet Union Russian, so rest assured EVERYTHING is o.k. and 100% ECOFRIENDLY, see you soon and a DEFINIATE eco friendly free festival ETERNITY ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED

What a great song with sharpstrings

😮 historic!!

I was there as a young lad

Of all their great music (Give and Take, All Over the Show,etc), Fantasy Shift is probably one of their worst.

Excellent track 👣 👌 👏 👍 🙌 ❤️ 🌟

Those were the days ❤

"And it goes something like~ this" *WINK* Me: dies But very interesting to listen to the band before Tim became the lead vocalist. Michael packs quite a punch with his voice, and it makes the harder songs work a lot better in my opinion. Tim had a brighter more fragile voice, which for these songs very quickly clashes a lot with the very pronounced guitars. Later cardiac-songs works around this and uses the unique qualities of Tim's voice for what it's worth, but I felt there was something off when Tim did the vocals of these early songs in later re-recordings. It's also interesting to think what the band would be if Michael had stayed in Cardiacs for longer. Would the band have gone in a more harder heavy direction earlier, or would we have had the same diversity they developed through the 80s? And a final note, this recording confirms my suspicion that "A Balloon for Berties Party" always was supposed to be a duet.

Loved this band. Keith Bailey 😊

7:15 one of the more insane pond crowds

I was also there. My band supported them.

Love this performance of Buds and Spawn

Not avante gard, just a fucking noisr

For my Brother John - miss you Bro !

I find it so fascinating that no one in the audience or the band would be aware that these tunes would become so beloved by many and end up on a double live album in the early 2000s

I was there..at the time it was their Last gig it was fookin packed in dingwalls jammed !!! Emotional really..of course they got back together albeit in a somewhat changed lineup a couple of years later

Tune

Lovely

Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️

didnt allan holdsworth play with soft machine?

I'm not a big fan of rock music but I always like the right stuff and ejection by bc and the mythos of Bob calvert. Would have been interesting if he would have been in the romantic poet era and not trying to make a living in Rock music.

I love Soft Machine, can't get enough...but dammit if this isn't a really sloppy show. Some good stuff but some awful flubs.

Still a boss tune ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Still gets me every time. Quality times ❤️❤️❤️

Blimey.

Fuck me that's what i looked like on acid....young. at least that tit 'grob' weren't on stage. "Ere mate aint paid a fucking fiver to see you .." happy days.

2:16 my man is tripping balls

Ese mismo día y en el mismo escenario tocó el Maestro Miles Davis.

I should have been there but by then I'd straightened out.

SAw H&N at Reading Town Hall with The Chocolate Tea Pot Band and again at Reading old bus depot. Always a joy to watch

I just wish some one would release Theatre on CD.

Still love it ❤️❤️❤️

Wasn't at this gig but saw them at Leeds around Christmas 1985 so must have been part of the same tour.

Love's not time's fool.

whats the set list ?

Phil Howard.. what can I say, he was all over the place, rarely on the beat, a real plodder.. Some had called him the bet drummer they had, but I beg to disagree... Maybe he had a more Elvin Jones sort of style, Elvin from the John Coltrane band, whichI guess is sorta what they were going for at the time, but I heard they were at thier loudest then, and his tenure with the band was the shortest, with Ratledge firing him for " musical disagreement, making him the only drummer to be fired from the group.. Even Wyatt left of his own accord, having been nudged out for someone " more professional ( though I think it had more to do with them not welcoming his singing any mor, which was fine with him, he'd just go on to form Marching Mole, his own Soft Machine, of a sort...) As Well.. John Marshall may have had more chops, suited to the band' s new direction, but What was capable of playing with more feeling, and was best sites to the band with Hopper and Dean, witness Al the live recordings they produced together...

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Came up from west Cornwall for that gig. Still come up from west Cornwall to see them at the King Arthur in Avalon. Don’t really know what I’m gonna do when you guys pack it in !!!

Tim! Tim! Tim! Xoxo

Much love to cardiacs!!!

Such a gem that these shows exist. Tim is life! Xoxoxo

Think that's Kavus to the left at about 3:51?

Well I saw these guys twice once at a little festival in Cornwall called Treworgey Tree Fair in 1989 & in the early 90s in Truro City Hall along with David Allen & Gong, which were basically half of the Here & Now band, at least at that point anyway. Great times & great music & peeps. 😎 Nik Turner from Inner City Unit also played at Treworgey & he was almost as zany & crazy as David Allen tbh...LOL

Incredible!

Brilliant ❤

Definitely a jewel !!!

It sounds like 'Lemmings' is introduced as 'In Bed', I think that's mislabelled
