Soft Machine - Grides part 1 of 2

This is NOT a different performance then 'Composition Based on 3 Tunes'.

This is for sale on DVD at cuneiform records and includes a BRILLIANT CD that was recorded in The Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, The Netherlands 1970. It contains almost 80 minutes of a great concert.

This is most definitely _NOT_ a different performance than 3 tunes. The Grides CD/DVD pack holds the Concertgebouw gig on CD, and the BeatClub gig on DVD.

However, the Grides DVD holds the _full_ beatclub performance, whereas the 3 tunes MPG only holds 11 minutes.

So thanks for sharing :)

PS: Those of you interested in the mpg's of 3 tunes, and the Kralingen 'nosejob' clip, check out my blog shortly.

Music was just better back then....

@BennyGaberMusic No one really, the whole Canterbury scene basically springs from them, and you can hear their influence in all of them,,,you could probably go seee a Fred Frith solo performance today and hear the influence in his work.

I never realized that Elton Dean played piano, I always just assumed that Ratledge did everything, its cool though really frees up mike so he can take even more facemelting solos.

I must have bought about 15 CDs trying to find the record this stuff is on. Never found it either. LOL I just knew it was called 3 diffrent toons or something like that. Had it on a beat club vhs tape from the 80s

Isn't anyone surprised how Hugh Hopper plays his bass ? We're in 1970 here and Jaco Pastorius is still a teenager and hasn't brought his revolutionary technique to the instrument. What about Hopper's solos ?? Can't we say this is pre-Pastorius style ??

@jbphburg You damn right it was....the whole 65 - 80ish era was simply devine!

One of a kind band!

Seriously find me one band that is really like Soft machine.

[MrFigueroa007]

Free-jazzers, very cool stuff but at times free-jazz sounds so disconnected. It usually takes some time before all the musicians get it all together.

what a tight band,

they know what each other is thinking,
