Soft Machine is one of the greatest UK avant/jazz-rock bands of all time. Their work, from their earliest performances as a psychedelic band, who were contemporaries of, and shared stages with Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, all the way to being one of Europe's best known 'fusion' bands has influenced several generations of bands, and continues to be name-checked by today's hip experimentalists.
Hidden Details’, released in 2018, exactly 50 years since the release of the band’s 1968 debut album ‘The Soft Machine’.
Whilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the late 1960’s, the band’s spirit of musical adventure, and the ease with which it freely avoids being pigeon holed and can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia to free improvised jazz-rock to ambient loop music continues to make it both unique and totally contemporary.
Sinds 1999 is Marshall weer betrokken in de revival van de 'Canterbury-scene'.
Hij draait mee in een aantal projecten rond het oude Soft Machine. Een eerste initiatief was SoftWhere, met onder meer Hugh Hopper, Elton Dean en Keith Tippett. De volgende samenstelling was met Allan Holdsworth, SoftWorks. Na een album werd er uitgebreid opgetreden. Nadat John Etheridge Holdsworth had vervangen, werd de naam gewijzigd in Soft Machine Legacy. Soft Machine Legacy trad regelmatig op, onder andere op 10 mei 2005 in Zaandam; van dit optreden werden opnamen gemaakt die op album uitgebracht werden. Met het overlijden van Elton Dean liep dit project ten einde.
Love this! Bundles my favourite masterpiece!
So good to hear Roy Babbington and John Marshall working that magic rhythm section that played out so well on 7, bundles and softs...this is great.
And still doing it at 78!
Both Babington and Marshall are in their late 70s and THEY STILL GOT IT!
John Marshall is cream of the crop of drummers from way back. Anyway that floated Holdsworth was a monster!
i know it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch new series online ?
@Bodie Ismael Try FlixZone. Just google for it :)
@Ahmed Terrence yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since march myself :D
@Ahmed Terrence Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!
Fabuleux -ca me rappelle un concert dans les années 1970 à Montreuil -FRANCE .
Dont le super morceau de Bundles- avec Allan Holdsworth à la guitare.
continuez comme ça , je vous admire toujours. Bravo aussi aux musiciens sur cette video.
Merci pour ton commentaire, ça fait plaisir d'entendre que ça rappelle le concert des années 70 à Montreuil. Softmachine a toujours été un groupe formidable à écouter.
I've seen these guys live so many times in recent years from the days when they were called Soft Machine Legacy to now being just 'Soft Machine' again, they were some of the best shows i have ever been to and they really capture the old school classic sound of the 70s but embrace the modern aspects of today while still sounding very fresh. What can you say about these 4 gentlemen? John Etheridge is one of the greatest living guitarists of all time, John Marshall is still one of the top drummers, Roy Babbington remains one of the finest bass players and Theo Travis is one of the best all round sax players on the scene and can play so many different instruments. I can promise you now, it doesn't get any better than these guys and i can't wait to see them this Thursday when they come back to London.
i,ll second that wholeheartedly
Damn. This is some world class fusion.👍👀
It really was exciting to see them this evening in Zeist!
Got tickets for latest tour in Toronto, wanted to see where they were at at this time and I am loving every minute of this! Thanks for posting.
Enjoy the concert of Soft Machine in Toronto, have fun.
Wonderful! They sound fantastic. Thank You for posting this.
Saw them last week in Berkeley at Freight and Salvage. Fantastic! The Levin Brothers opened. Go youngsters, go!
I saw them (the original Softies) 50 years ago, opening for Jimi Hendrix at the Capital Theater in Ottawa Canada. I don’t know if the music was better then, but the dope was.
Legendary.
Saw this in milwaukee..

If you have enjoyed just as much as I enjoyed this concert, you have had a fantastic evening.

Got my ticket!
Have a nice concert.
december 3 live in stage at the boerderij
Ja dan zijn ze er weer, helaas lukt het me niet om op die dag aanwezig te zijn dus ook geen opname van mij. Voor jou en alle andere veel plezier bij het concert!
Yummy music.
When are they coming to Saint-hyacinthe? There was an important Canterbury fan base here even if we were separatists.
What? I live in st-hyacinthe too and i didn't know that there are many fans of soft/wyatt/caravan and etc etc.. 😮😮😮
A 50th anniversary tour without any of the original members of 50 years ago?....
Bassist Roy Babbington en drummer John Marshall were for the first time members of Soft machine on the album fifth (1972), Roy Babbington played as a guest (he was a guest bassist on the album fourt (1971) before) and John Marshall as a permanent member. With the album Seven, Roy Babbington also became a permanent member of the band.
Not exactly 50 years but almost.
4 years that made a big difference, when you think that Daevid Allen, Kevin Ayers and Robert Wyatt were founding members. And then you have Mike Ratledge who pretty much shaped what Soft Machine morphed into,from rock combo to avant-garde jazz, for the first 10 years. Apparently Mike didn't own the name.
Unfortunately, Kevin Ayers and Daevid Allen are no longer on earth and Robert Wyatt has been unable to perform for 30 years because he no longer dares. And unfortunately Mike Ratledge is no longer active in music. That makes it impossible to perform with the original members of soft machine.
I remember their use of fuzz-tone organ. I understand that Hammonds are impractical. Too heavy. I do see the sax player playing a small keyboard occasionally.
I wish they could have recruited Dave Stewart from Hatfield, Egg, Bruford, etc. Or any other keyboard player associated with Canterbury fusion.
Salut, désolé mais cela n'a rien à voir avec le band original surtout sans clavier et Marschal à toujours été lourd à coté de Robert . Ça fait pitié par moment...Il faut savoir arrêter ou peut être
qu'i ne peuvent pas ?
Posh. Modern keyboards can have the sound and feel of Hammond perfectly and you lift them easy with one hand. I even seen band put a one these keyboards in a old Hammond case (showboat!). Especially if you gonna plug it in a Marshall amp like Mike Ratledge did.
The Lowrey organ Ratledge played was nearly as heavy as a B3 and it sounded like crap. Ironically, I think its buzzy, reedy tone appealed to Ratledge, who was by far the most innovative jazz/rock organist of his time. And also, the Lowery had a lever on the volume pedal which enabled Ratledge to “bend” notes as a guitar player would.
@@johntechwriter ooh cheers, thanks for that comment. Always interested to hear anything about the große Meister Rateledge
tarabos :D

Hi Kate, No idea why you can not subscribe to the Prog live channel you're the first to report this, others manage to subscribe, maybe click on the subscribe again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
“Theo Travis - tenor sax, flute, keyboards”
Hey, not just tenor sax, he's also got a soprano there!
....Nope, doesn't play it. Just took the soprano out for airing. Bastard :D
(or maybe the piece where he plays it didn't make it into the video?)
One song is missing, (empty battery) I do not remember if Theo played soprano sax on that song.
First song is just a mahavishnu orchestra ripoff
