That's right Neil

[bulldog190]

[victorsaint2]

1:03

[nanogirl]

That is awesome - thank you!

[splayjanx]

That is absolutely vintage! Sounds like it's right off Vol.1...

[killuminati63]

pretty good for SF live 1967 long live ayers !

[MotonetaTiburcia]

es un trip de musica. impresionante...

[killahsista]

Another video of the same concert says it was 1970

[rafaelteteu]

beautiful!!!

[nobebeselagua]

damn, i heard of a time when drummers were nervous about synths, thinking they could never compete with the speed, but this is a perfect example of how much you can do with so little, i love those little rolls he does with his left

[record1207]

FANTASTIC POST. ENJOYED VERY MUCH!!!! THX.

[mortyok3]

These guys opened for Jimi Hendrix in Columbus , OH, in March 1968. We were all anxious for Hendrix and did not give them their due.

[rekrage]

Kevin Ayres looks like someone out of Sweet

[GreenManalishiUSA]

With that eye makeup, Kevin Ayers looks like an early prototype for Alice Cooper.

[glitchesandglitter]

is this live version not on album?

[LeoMikey80]

This is pretty heavy stuff for '67! Why they were'nt as big as Pink Floyd or other space rock bands is a mystery. And silver sandals? Where did he find those? Am i safe to assume that these guys might have indulged in the occasional acid trip?

[FastMg42]

1967 was a very heavy year unlike the crap we have today

[gwugluud11]

THANK YOU. I love how he's dialed in his own sound on that Hammond, instead of just using that cornball churchy-sounding setting 99.99999% of all Hammond players use.

[BassLudeman]

@gwugluud11 he's using a Lowrey, not a Hammond. Apparently, he wanted one, but couldn't afford it.

[vindosm]

Guys its real HEAVY from 67!!!

[klemuch]

ohh s**t! WTF? Why i never heard bout this before?! Amazing s**t!

[damninhell]

sounds like an on foot chase seen from a 70's movie

[MightySaturn5]

impressive

[sebringdnf]

Lame

[SenorSaboo]

That's Ringo Starr before he was with the Beetles!

[smokeofsampoi]

hahaha!

[jacobhester7]

no it isnt...

[shutdownthefed]

i want that drummers pink velvet jacket

[Carlito1988]

Can you say OUTSTANDING!!??

[MoonchildMindaugasRo]

Yes :)

[andykopgod]

What's the name of this track? Awsome!

[CAVERWOOD]

I think this just goes to show that it was all done in '67... rock has been sucking the teet of '67 ever since with less and less milk.

[shutdownthefed]

I concure

[77doriella]

How about Syd with the Prunes instead of the back stabbing Floyd. Now that would have been something else.And yes I agree the Softs where a bunch of hopeless twiddlers.

[BubbaGanoush2]

I dunno. I love the psychedelic stuff, big fan of the Syd Barrett days of Pink Floyd, but this is just crap. I mean seriously. It is the kind of noise that people just make when they don't know how to play an instrument. If I picked up the clarinet right now, that is what I would sound like. Give me the Electric Prunes or Syd Barrett ANY day. Sorry. It's just the way I feel.

[bluesbrother37]

Wyatt and Ayers totally rock, this is as good as interstellar overdrive.

[SAMOWASKING]

Bubba doesn't know what he's talking about man, just take a look at his favs...

[JakeANowhereMan]

I kind of agree the only Soft machine song i could ever listen to was Moon in June and even then it's really not what this band plays. I don't think you need to take LSD to enjoy a song or even this bands LP.

[fireengine23]

I think the silver sandals make up for the noodleing

[PAULLONDEN]

These dudes were at the right place at the right time,(ofcourse with talent to spare)

«d-_-b» (as in db's)

[bnzbrl]

may be I prefere fall 66 when revolver came out

[CadillacL]

OMG! This freakin ROCKS! I Was born in '71, so I never got to witness this group first hand or any of the classics but, ever since I wass in HS I loved clasic rock. Music today can't touch the fire, passion, energy of 60's music. BTW this is my first time to see footage or really hear Soft Machine. AWESOME!

[pesarchick]

Love this! What track are they playing here? Is this an early take on what would become ''Fire engine Passing With Bells Clanging''? Anyone know?

[antshrike]

gotta love how ratledge is going all Cecil Taylor on that organ's ass...

[Incesticidergp]

THANKS MAN THAT'S AMAZING !!

[YRSAL]

Are you sure this is from 1967 ?

[beyondthebeat]

Yes -- 1967!

[gillesbertacco]

Was the best year...kind of the human Orgasm. Best Music. Best Cars. Best...well...maybe it's too subjective ;-)

[sixtiessyl]

I agree, man! great video, btw

[YRSAL]

Thanks!

[dullsville]

wowie zowie

[OldWintrone]

Holy Shit!  Where's this from?

[liz1060]

The quality of this recording is so good, it's hard to believe it's from 67!
