The band are indeed Magic, the recording less so, a static (once it settles down) video camera from the balcony at Exeter Phoenix, two weeks after the Glastonbury set I posted earlier. Also missing the encore, Big Eyed Beans, sorry about that.

Check out “Space Shanty” by Khan and “Arzachel” by Arzachel, two of Steve Hillage’s early LP’s…they’re great! And he’s on Egg’s “Civil Surface” too!
Hillage is part of the “Three Steve ‘H’s”….Steve Howe, Steve Hackett and Steve Hillage….who were the guitaring backbone of my Prog infatuation in the 70’s! If it wasn’t for them, I’d never have picked up an electric guitar 🎸!
I saw Steve Hillage at Glastonbury Fayre in 1979. He was awesome! A recording of that gig is up on CZcams. Also playing at the festival were Mother Gong and Tim Blake’s Crystal Machine, so inevitably a rumour started that Daevid Allen was there for a GONG reunion! Which, unfortunately, never materialised! But they were all fantastic! That year was some line-up…SAHB, Peter Gabriel w/ Phil Collins, Steve Hillage, Tom Robinson, Nona Hendryx and Alex Harvey backing him up, The Pop Group w/The Slits, The Only Ones, Nik Turner’s Sphinx and John Martyn!
Hade ingen aning om att dom varit här 2004, visserligen utan kaptenen, men ändå.
Enormously infective ! True fusion/rock, before it even existed here in the States ! British Rock ! The Canterbury Sound express !

Hillage's hair reminded me of a 19th century high court judge's wig.
WOW.
Just unbelievable how good softmachine were I saw them a couple of times around north London clubs and round house this is even better than I remember. Wonderful ✌️
The most beautiful Kevin Ayers
Thank you very much for the upload!
💦💦💦✨✨✨
top...
Algoritme brought me here: great!, only my swedish is not so good, who are the members? Denny Walley on guitar, but who are the rest?
Wonderful ...... SO glad this music feels part of me . I don't mind saying that 1970s in England was fantastical and not for the faint of heart . Blimey ... I still feel scorched
Good to see Mike and Kevin together after all those years (or few)
Amazing, it must be super rare, I've never seen any of it before
vive la décadence. pop canterbury.. ayers and hillage attention aux cigarrettes. the soft machine is MARVELOUS. early soft weed, a terry riley orbital booster.
Facts then facts now 💯
マイク・ラトリッジの声、初めて聴いた!!
Awesome and Ratledge and Ayers speaking a very good French.
Nanterre 1972 (Kevin Ayers), I was there. They started very late (in the afternoon), some of their rig was stuck at the border with Belgium, so they played on borrowed equipment. That's why we see people carrying amps and equipment without wheels. I assume the roadies were at the border too, waiting for the equipment to pass custom, or something like that.
Steve was amazing!
Stranger in Blue Suede Shoes @ 2.00 mins.
Archie Legget wearing confederate shirt.
This was an unexpected pleasure. What a gem.
Its from Paris in 1972 Kevin Ayers and Decadance "(Bannanamour Tour?0 per the French Intro date - Steve Hillage FB page and grea version of Why Are we Sleeping
great stuff
Doth mine ears deceive, or is there some "Bundles" in the mix?
Year?
Thanks for this rarity! Wow, I got to meet up with Hillage when he was working at Bearsville (w/Todd R). He was a super cool dude and yeah, great picker, always using coolest sounds! Anybody know who is the bass player here? and the drummer too?
John Marshall on drums and Hugh Hopper on bass.
Denis Hooper…
Looks to me like Archie Legget on bass...
Thanks for a great upload Gordon.
Fantastique version de "why are we sleeping"!
So, Kevin. ? So , Kevin .?? Kevin ¿? So what about me being in love with you. Right now. ?
You are dead !!!!!!!!
at 17:35 Ratledge instructs Jenkins to play the baritone :)
Only one year later, Soft Machine's compositions were 85% by Karl Jenkins, who totally distorted the soul of SM😢
Smoking cigarettes AND speaking French. You don't get much of that these days.
epic
Mike Ratledge, a true genius.
never thought that I'd stumble upon a live version of the soft weed factor!
Came here to comment the same.... I so much adore this composition, the sound, everything... makes sixth my favorite Soft Machine Album together with '1983' and Hugh's Bass sound throughout
I can't understand why Steve Hillage isn't considered one of the top guitarists of all time, especially in certain music publications. Those of us who know know. I guess that's all that matters.
Some of the great English musicians never got the proper acclaim and respect because they didn't play in bands that toured the US enough or ever. Or received enough American exposure. Have to crack the American market.
Hillage is great solo, with Gong and as System 7. Very underrated as a musician and as a producer (just listen to Up To Our Hips by The Charlatans - the production is incredible). He should be a household name. At least he got a mention in The Young Ones.
The guy was and is a genius, and the break here is just great. Scales that few others would play.
Rolling Stone Magazine is a bunch of trite glossy bollocks, who needs a stamp of approval from these nobody's
trouble w hillage: refused to have "a band" . he had to get all the credit... holdsworth also was a rolling stone.
What’s the second song?
This is quite a find, especially that Soft Machine footage!
interesting re-interpretation of "Why Are We Sleeping". I like both this version and the more psychedelic version by Soft Machine when Kevin Ayers was still with them.
Lots of good French tv for some reason...
le cadrage serré de la caméra sur le visage de Kevin donne une proximité avec le chanteur qui est inimaginable de nos jours. A part cela blue suede shoes est vraiment très bon avec le solo de Steve Hillage. Mike Ratledge diplômé de philosophie et de musicologie parle français et c'est vraiment délicieux d'assister à cet échange entre Ratledge et Ayers. 1973 acmé de la pop music. le morceau ( quel titre ? ) du Six accompagné de Hugh Hopper à la basse et de Karl Jenkins, anciennement du groupe Nucleus, est vraiment superbe. Adieu va Adieu à tous ces beatniks et hippies qui vivaient pour leur musique entre Ibiza la sauvage et la France bourgeoise et gauchiste de De Gaulle et Pompidou. Adieu à ces vagabonds britanniques qui ont influencé toute la pop musique française.
I can translate the french commentary
I love how nearly all Soft Machine alumni speak French and Spanish. Not too many other English legacy bands can do that.
It is funny. A vast majority of the world is bi/multilingual. Only speaking one language is a very Anglo normative concept. What else is funny is that English is the world’s most spoken language by far however few of the people who speak it are native speakers (relatively speaking)
Maybe this is the Kevin Ayers - Bananamour Tour 1973
Presumably that's Kevin Ayers and Decadence with Archie Leggett on bass and Eddie Sparrow on kit. So Nov / Dec '72
Thanks for the info, Tim. Hope to see you at next year’s Kozfest
