    When I was 14 years old, my brother and I went to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968 and the Soft Machine opened the show. My ticket cost me $3.00 and I was seated in the 6th row from the stage. Both bands were in fine form, and this video brings back those memories. Drummer Robert Wyatt made quite an impression when he first walked onto the stage. The only thing he wore was bikini-style briefs.

      I saw them with Hendrix on Feb 25 1968 at the Civic Opera House in Chicago. I was 16 at the time
      Seeing these two bands changed everything for me,it was truly a magical experience. I still have the ticket stub, well half of it. I believe we might have been at the same show. Cheers!!!!!!!

      Sadly, no he won't. He is almost completely forgotten already. Truly tragic that he never received the widespread recognition that he deserved, but when you look at the sort of music that's hugely popular these days, it's no wonder Mike is forgotten. He's so far over the heads of this generation that all they hear is noise, I'm sure.

    I wasn't born yet when they played at this concert, but I am so grateful to my dad that he introduced me to so many different kinds of music, including the magnificent Soft Machine at a very young age.
    The symphonic nature of the tracks that flow into each other and sometimes make a reprisal, combined with the richness of the diversity in tempo, volume and timbre made me experience this music throughout my body. I don't need drugs for that. Art is so immensely powerful when you allow yourself to open to it. Thanks for sharing :-).

    I had a friend, Paul Evans, who was really into The Soft Machine. He played them a lot and, I must admit, I didn't really get it. It took my 20 years to appreciate them and now I could listen to them all day long. I saw them play but didn't if you know what I mean.

    Long Live, eh! Any and all versions are worth hearing, again and again. I reckon this has been a catalyst for hundreds of thousands of fans finding their way among jazz-rock-prog in the last (dear god) nearly 50 years. Me, anyway :-)

    They were so good, when your too good you can never be as big as those who aren't - and while the lesser swim in big pools made of gold encrusted with diamonds, the soft machine is something They would listen to, the musician's musicians. When your that good respect is the only bigtime money you get from your art. But they contribute to a greater part of intellect than the big names that reach so many - and the few are blessed by it and expand in sparks all the better that way.....

    Saw them at the Round House Chalk Farm , London about this period. Remember Wyatt's presence on stage, topless also. Knew this was something different from anything else I heard at the time!

    Cette version est une ébauche de ce que deviendra la version studio ; ici, il s'agit juste d'un collage entre les différents thèmes, sans aucune transition. J'ai écouté ce titre tellement de fois que je le connais dans ses moindres détails et que je peux le jouer dans ma tête sans avoir besoin de l'écouter sur ma chaîne hi-fi...
    Soft Machine est LE groupe que je mets sur un piédestal ; j'ai eu l'immense plaisir d'assister à plusieurs de ses concerts, et même de photographier Mike en train de jouer, à quelques centimètres de lui. Mon souvenir le plus intense est d'avoir discuté avec lui après un concert à Poitiers et posé mes doigts sur les claviers de son orgue Lowrey après avoir fumé un joint avec Roy Babbington.

I've listened to this track so many times that I know it down to the smallest detail and can play it in my head without having to listen to it on my hi-fi...
    Soft Machine is THE band that I put on a pedestal; I had the immense pleasure of attending several of his concerts, and even of photographing Mike playing, a few centimeters from him. My most intense memory is talking with him after a concert in Poitiers and putting my fingers on the keyboards of his Lowrey organ after smoking a joint with Roy Babbington.

    Скажу честно, я шел к этой музыке почти 30 лет.(начал познавать рок с 11.очень люблю рок и джаз, и особенно когда они вместе) .сейчас 42 года. Переслушал все сливки рока! Но когда узнал эту команду, стал ее фанатом навсегда. Да, эта музыка не для средних умов (не в обиду ,до нее надо дорасти).И самое печальное,люди которым повезло ее понять(эту группу ,и подобную ей) сейчас одиноки в своем взгляде на эту музыку.Всем кто в этом разбирается и понимает , Мое уважение! Сергиев Посад. Меломан и фанат.
