5.0 out of 5 stars Soft Machine: Alive in Paris 1970 7 Feb 2009
By Doug
Format:DVD
I first saw and heard Soft Machine live at a free concert at Parliament Hill Fields in 1969. Since then I have always loved the music they produced whilst Robert Wyatt was in the band.
I was pleasantly surprised with the good quality of this DVD, having been expecting a black and white, somewhat blurred TV archive but `Alive in Paris 1970' is filmed in colour and is of acceptable picture quality.
Filmed at the Theatre de la Musique and broadcast in two parts for a French TV programme, the band on this occasion is augmented by Lyn Dobson on sax, flute, harmonica and vocals. This is a fine Soft Machine performance, full of excellent musicianship and the full spectrum of their sound from raucous free-form to beautifully lyrical melodies and exciting time signatures. High spots for me are the interplay between Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt and Hugh Hopper during Hugh's extended fuzz-bass solo on "Eamon Andrews" and Elton Dean's blistering sax solo on "Out-Bloody-Rageous" (apparently this is the first performance of Out-Bloody -Rageous, recorded before its release on the album: Third).
`Alive in Paris 1970' is a must for any lover of of Soft Machine - a truly ground-breaking, unique and exciting band who were progressive and definitely not "Prog".

4.0 out of 5 stars Machine molle 22 Jan 2009
By Fletch-a-sketch TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
An hour of Soft Machine recorded for French television (Pop 2) in 1970. This is the concert as broadcast on French television of a slightly truncated set. The band, featuring Robert Wyatt, Hugh Hopper, Mike Ratledge, Elton Dean and Lyn Dobson (Circa Third album). This is a great reminder of how good the soft machine actually were at a creative peak (Though I would live to see some Kevin Ayres Soft Machine released on DVD). Though the music and Video and Sound are great it's a shame the packaging is a little shoddy and the running order on the packaging does not reflect the running order on the actual disc. Buy for the Music and not the packaging.
