    Robert Wyatt, one of a kind. I followed his whole career. The End of an Ear for instance, a masterpiece.
  • I was not even born , only 1969. But with 16 years old i discover Soft Machine. I guess one of the best ever bands. What memories
  • Grandiose ! L époque où les cameramen de l ORTF savaient filmer et mettaient en valeur les artistes. Robert Wyatt impérial comme toujours ! Merci de nous faire profiter de ces belles images.
  • My uncle managed and produced much of SM's early work. Unfortunately he passed last year and I am really trying to learn all I can about the band & awesome to see classic videos like this one . Thank you for posting 🙏
  • @Traumm9

    With all those well-dressed, selfconcious audience members sitting through this incredible performance, my heart is with the one woman (and finally, also one dude) who are just going-off dancing!!!

  • En 1970 j'était dans ma cabine au Psychédélic club de Nice et après la fermeture de la boîte vers 5h00 du matin, j'écoutais ce morceau pour m'évader un peu. Aujourd'hui encore la version studio de "a certain kind" m'arrache les tripes.
