SOFT MACHINE-Theatre De La Musique 1970

Here's a clip of Soft Machine on French Television from 1970. This is my favourite incarnation of the band. Robert Wyatt, Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, & Mike Ratledge...a few months before Robert left to form Matching Mole. Excellent group interplay and Wyatt at his best on vocals. Elton died last month, so this clip is dedicated to his memory.

To me the best band ever. They are genius!! Their music went really really far, in such an intelligent, emotional and psychedelic way. Definitely essential on a desert island ^^

the first song is called "Facelift", the second song (which starts with Robert Wyatt vocalising) is called "Esther's Nosejob".
