With all those well-dressed, selfconcious audience members sitting through this incredible performance, my heart is with the one woman (and finally, also one dude) who are just going-off dancing!!!
My uncle managed and produced much of SM's early work. Unfortunately he passed last year and I am really trying to learn all I can about the band & awesome to see classic videos like this one . Thank you for posting 🙏
In a class of his own, technically. There was nobody in pop or jazz to compare him to. I could never understand why he chose to play that piece of shit Lowrey organ.
@@johntechwriter Respec the Lowrey. Rutledge works it very well. Another lovely use of the organ (besides the classic Lucy in the Sky) is with The Band
En 1970 j'était dans ma cabine au Psychédélic club de Nice et après la fermeture de la boîte vers 5h00 du matin, j'écoutais ce morceau pour m'évader un peu. Aujourd'hui encore la version studio de "a certain kind" m'arrache les tripes.
this one of those things on the net i personally keep returning too . its got everything you need. class, dirt, poetry , skill, experimentalism of youth and three absolutely stunning musicians. r i p Kev.
It's great to see this. I saw this line-up and repertoire when they opened for the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Bushnell Memorial Auditorium, Hartford CT, spring of '68. I had no clue going in and was there to see Hendrix (of course) - he did Dylan's "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window" as well as most of "Are You Experienced?" and they did not disappoint. However, my lasting memory is of The Soft Machine. Totally unknown to me and unexpected. They were as loud, if not louder than the Experience, and, I think, opened with "Hope For Happiness" which is still one of my favorites. Couldn't take my eyes or ears off of them. Had a similar experience when I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra open for ELP in Long Beach CA in '71 or '72.
I was at the Bushnell for the March show and had exactly the same reaction. I knew what to expect from Hendrix but never heard of Soft Machine. They had some big amps and some big talent. What a sound! Never forgot the show and still listen to them all the time. Hope for Happiness was burned into my brain that night.
I was lucky enough to see the Softs in 1968, opening for the Amboy Dukes and Jimi Hendrix! what a great show. What a great original band. Too bad about Wyatt's accident.
Wow. Probably the REALLY surprising thing is the Amboy Dukes on the bill. I've always known Jimi and Soft Machine toured the States in 1968 (same management firm), but never knew the Dukes went back that far.
Jimi and the Softies included Canada in their 1968 tour as well as the USA. I saw them in Canada's capital, Ottawa. It was a wild concert. The mood was positive and that encouraged the players to give it their all. I happened to be on acid at the time and though I had never seen Soft Machine or even heard of them I loved them immediately. Now I have everything I am aware they recorded. This was probably the only tour where Jimi Hendrix was the more conservative of the performing artists.
What an explosive Psychedelic/Jazz/Pop combo! Kevin, why did you have to leave? How cool Kevin is wearing makeup pre Glam by 3 years! R.I.P. KEVIN AYERS
Kevin is a star no doubt. But man hugh was a level above most any bass player and I think he fit the direction they were going better. Heck even rob got pushed out of the vision eventually. I love this line up and the next three piece the best personally. I like the poppy mix those two line ups produced
I discovered SM through this video when I was around 20 (30 now). I had this and their first album on repeat for weeks! Then Volume Two for months. They instantly became my favourite band of all times and still are today. Also Robert Wyatt's drumming is a major influence. My favourite drummer together with Billy Cobham, Ginger Baker, Bill Bruford and Pierre van der Linden.
This is absolutely incredible, to be able to travel back decades and see this early recording of such great original artists in their formative days, Thanks for sharing/jim
I had commented a while back about seeing SoftMachine opening for Jimi H. in '68. It's great how the music fans keep this alive! I knew it was special then!
Incredibili! Grandiosamente psichedelici e melodici allo stesso tempo. Wyatt a batteria e voce è straordinario!!! Le tastiere di Ratledge hanno un che di onirico e precursore per il loro periodo jazz che arriverà a breve.
Troppo sottovalutato, Ratledge, forse perché si è ritirato presto. Già si era scocciato, a partire dal '73, infatti fu lui a volere Karl Jenkins ed a consegnargli il complesso. Ma musicalmente era troppo superiore..ma pigro.
Uniquely gifted, perpetually iconic, always searching, continually stretching boundaries, never satisfied............ sadly missed for all these years; nearly 50, the void is still present as the noon-day sun. Oh we lucky few, who recognized the magic, and keep the memories......... of an era of creativity that will never be replicated. Out-bloody-rageous!!!
Early Soft machine is completely ace. You tube having a few movies up is a real treat for those of us too young to be let in, or even find our way to the venue! I'd have looked wild in my school shorts and cap!
gosh what a privilege to have been one of the few people at that performance ! I couldn't sit through that. I would have to be dancing. but not now as nearly 70 !
I, like the other poster, never thought that I would get to see the original line up with Kevin Ayers in a live clip. Thanks for posting this, what a gem.
My older brother dragged me to the Grande Ballroom in Detroit for their summer of 1968 show. I'd never heard them before and much of the crowd there that night was older and wiser but more stoned than me, for sure. I was certain I'd never heard their tunes before but knew I was witnessing a unique amalgamation of experimental musicians. Thank brother, Tommy!
What an Awesome band especially for that time period! Never got the notoriety they most justifiably deserved! Way ahead of their time! Pink Floyd with Soul!! Absolutely Brilliant! Very difficult to play drums and sing with that intensity! WOW!!
Soooo cool...great young musicians "back in the day"... and i think all great live shows should have at least a few very cool delightful dancing girls with those wonderful wiggles.. thanks for posting this...great find
I always dug the Softs, from the very beginning. Bought all their records. As well as, later on, the recordings of concerts on compact discs (like "Live at the Paradiso 1969"). Even got "Spaced", the sound track the Softs did in 1969 for a multi-media show. Saw them in Rotterdam in 1970 and in New York City in the 1970s. Was crazy about the first three albums. Really dug SM Six, too. Was shocked when I heard of poor Robert Wyatt's accident. Never understood what happened to the band - why Robert was pushed out.
... music is great ...... I just can say that !!!! ... my skin, my heart and my soul fly free in a real world ..... a world that is not understood by anybody or everybody .... a world as much real as you and me ...... grandioso !!!
Saw them accidentally at the Museum of Modern Art in 1966. They played without stopping for a half hour and the set was done. I knew they were amazing and that set was reproduced as a studio session on their first album with Kevin Ayres on bass.
I notice 2 people disliked this soft machine Vid...i find that unbelievable. what is there not to love ..this is such great music..I especially Love Soft machine 1 which these tracks came off
I agree Jeni! LOVE the way Mike is working the switches on the Lowry while he's soloing. These guys were always innovating. Always looking for new sounds. . absolutely fantastic. Mike Ratledge is one of the unsung heroes of both the organ and piano. And one of the greatest songwriters of his day. . his melodies still stay with me.
Great music! Musicians can naturally die...their music never! He and his music are still alive (thanks to reproduction means....vinyl, video tapes etc and our memories!).
Fantastico filmato, ottima regia, una grande emozione sentire i soft machine nella loro prima formazione, meno beat di quanto fatto sentire nel loro primo disco. La dimensione live ci rivela un gruppo già molto avanti. Notevole!
Very few people freak out like i do. I am from a different generation but listened to this music (Gong too) when i was a kid and i still freak out to all this. I'd never saw this until today and really, just freaked to it fully. I do wish Daevid had been with them still. Love makes sweet music.
@@dodibenabba1378 I love Allen and all his works. I started getting into Gong, Hawkwind , Van Der Graaf Generator , The Moody Blues, about 1981. I composed music myself during that time and by 1988 , i moved into the Electronic House music side of things. I was then and still am, into these bands , it meant i missed a lot of material out until the Web allowed me to search all areas and research much more. Yes, i'v heard most of his work with the Softs. What i really missed out, was some of the very early Canterbury sound. I have found myself completely speechless with what i heave been hearing, and seeing . It has been like missing pages from a book i once read and only now i have those missing and needed pages. No future musicians will ever do what those who came out of the 1960's did. They created it.
alleluya un jeune dans les commentaires d'une video de soft machine ! écoute ma playlist pour découvrir d'autre truc cool ;) www.deezer.com/playlist/4177276582?
I have never heard this and I am blown away. I am 56. I can hear so many bands from later periods in them... they had a huge influence and i had no idea.
Questa esibizione live dei Soft machine del 68 vede la band in formazione a trio Robert Wyatt canto e batteria e percussioni Mike Ratledge Organo e Kevin Ayers chitarra basso Nel filmato vediamo anche ragazzi che stanno ballando Premesso che la musica dei Soft machine non è musica da ballare però chi la voleva ballare si muoveva a shake cioè i movimenti non seguivano dei passi studiati ma si muovevano come la musica suggeriva alla mente e al corpo di ogni singolo individuo Quindi con libertà totale di espressione e movimento
Cher kevin , je suis si triste...le concert que nous avions organisé à Montréal en 93 fut superbe et la nuit passé à la maison avec daevid et JF et où à 4 hr du matin tu voulais du Cahampgne...Nous avons écrit à 4 mains toute la nuit ...memories memories...l'alcool t'as tué mon pot!
Pure video gold dust! I'm so happy we have a few full gigs of the early Soft Machine filmed and out there, unlike Syd's Floyd and The Nice. I'm honoured to have played at and organised a gig with Kevin in Manchester about 8 years ago that was called the '3.3D Holographic Zero Point Energy Disclosure Project'. Next I hope to be reborn into England in the late 1940's so that I can do stuff like this 'first time around' - please oh powers of the Universe!
Amazing post. Thank you! Got to love Robert's "challenging" relationship to the matter of the key of "A Certain Kind" and Mike looking daggers at him as a result. Nevertheless, THE GREATEST BAND THERE EVER WAS!
Maybe you can tell me why he played a piece of shit Lowery home organ? I’ll bet it was the slider on the volume pedal that enabled the player to bend notes. Not a good enough reason!
@@johntechwriter He must've liked it. He played it on every Soft Machine album he's been part of. I don't understand the choice either. The Hammonds, Farfisas and Philicordias were much better.
Robert Wyatt, one of a kind. I followed his whole career. The End of an Ear for instance, a masterpiece.
The End of an Ear is fucking amazing album! wow!
@@67psych Rock Bottom is a great album too.
I was not even born , only 1969. But with 16 years old i discover Soft Machine. I guess one of the best ever bands. What memories
Grandiose ! L époque où les cameramen de l ORTF savaient filmer et mettaient en valeur les artistes. Robert Wyatt impérial comme toujours ! Merci de nous faire profiter de ces belles images.
Et surtout une époque où il y avait beaucoup d'authenticité chez les artistes.

Simply the best band ever

Thats nice, well done.

Bravo, Dominic. Saluti dall'Italia.
The most underrated keybordist ever.
In a class of his own, technically. There was nobody in pop or jazz to compare him to. I could never understand why he chose to play that piece of shit Lowrey organ.
@@johntechwriter Respec the Lowrey. Rutledge works it very well. Another lovely use of the organ (besides the classic Lucy in the Sky) is with The Band
Hardly. At the time was hugely rated.
It was all he could afford. I think it was quite fortuitous actually. You cant bend notes on a Hammond like you can on a Lowery TLO.
@@johntechwriter I think that organ sounds amazing! :) Like a really nasty distorted guitar, amazing what he does with it!
My favorite band of all time. They were the best; so progressive and humorous!

A Certain Kind is such a beautiful song.
Wyatt one of my three fav drummer, so musical and creative.
Incredible and original organ improvisations by Mike Ratldege.
Ratledge è stato l'unico ad improvvisare all'organo Lowery esattamente come Cecil Taylor. Aveva un grande talento jazzistico.
Joe Zawinul in the dame line.
...un moment de grâce infinie... sublime !
If someone said there will be no music in the world from now on but you can save one band, i would choose this one.
It's great to see this.

That must Have been an amazing concert. Great
Agree with you, saw Mahavisnu in 72 Paris Olympia, such an incredible experience.
fantastic drums by robert wyatt and amazing fuzz organ by mike ratlege. love it

Yes, Ted Nugent was only 18 when they released their first album!! Take A Ride To The Land Inside Your Mind!!
What an explosive Psychedelic/Jazz/Pop combo!
Kevin, why did you have to leave?
How cool Kevin is wearing makeup pre Glam by 3 years!

Un frère de Christian Vander de Magma. Robert Wyatt est immense. Toujours d'actualité.
KA was the man. He genuinely was, without effort or contrivance, an icon. He was so far out, he was too far in.
He and the boys made some memorable music. Thanks and RIP Kevin Ayers!
Love Kevin Ayers Song called "Stranger In the Blue Suede Shoes "!! A Definite Cult Classic!!
keven Eyres is Herne Bay's finest export
I close my eyes & put myself inside the audience like there's no time in my life
Ayers and Wyatt! Great artists!
Probably the best Soft Machine footage on UA-cam. A great performance by the classic trio.

this is really good music with a bit jazz fusion in there i'm very pleased found them after hearing kevin ayers
Fantastic performance. Love that final piece!

to be honest , this is the most artistic view of a drum kit i've ever seen
