While completing their 50th anniversary tour, SOFT MACHINE was suspended due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Introducing the latest and best video that will be the first shot of their restart. This work was filmed at the Cambridge Theater on November 28, 2020. This is a multi-camera professional shot taken when he appeared at the traditional music festival "CAMBRIDGE JAZZ FESTIVAL". Actually, this live is not a "concert" where an audience gathers. In previous years, it would have been a normal concert style, but this year in the UK there are strict restrictions on going out due to the new coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, this year's "CAMBRIDGE JAZZ FESTIVAL" was moved to a theater and was held in a style where the video was distributed without an audience. There is another big difference in this work from the usual. That is a member of SOFT MACHINE. In 2020, they held two live broadcasts (November 28th [this work] and December 6th), and John Marshall did not participate in either of them. Instead, he's sitting on a stool with Dave Gilmour's backing and Nick France, known for NUCLEUS. In fact, the details on this point have not yet been disclosed. It was announced that Marshall would not be participating because he is undergoing medical treatment, but it is unclear whether he is injured or ill. It seems that Nick is not an official member as he is considered a substitute, but there is no further explanation. In the first place, Marshall and Babington had declared that they would retire after the 50th anniversary tour, so we can't keep an eye on future trends. This work, which records such an unusual live performance, is truly the best. It is natural that it is the latest distribution professional shot, but the image quality and sound quality are completely official. To put it bluntly, it is a studio live performance, and you cannot expect the sense of scale that you would normally get at a concert, but the camera work with carefully thought out angles and placement makes each person a picture, and the hands are perfect. Speaking of recent SOFT MACHINE, they have just released the official live album “LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO” of their 50th anniversary tour, and this work has such an official quality that it can be called a video version. However, the content of the show is similar to “LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO” but different. Marshall's lack of presence overseas and sets are also different. Here, let's summarize by comparing it with the official version. HIDDEN DETAILS・Hidden Details／The Man Who Waved At Trains／Life On Bridges／Heart Off Guard／Broken Hill／Fourteen Hour Dream／One Glove (★) Others・FOURTH: Kings and Queens・SIX: Gesolreut (★)／Chloe And The Pirates (★)・SOFTS: The Tale Of Taliesin・Medley (★: The Relegation Of Pluto/Tarabos/Sideburn/Hazard Profile Part One) *Note: “★” marks are not included in the latest official work “LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO” A song you can't listen to. ...and it looks like this. The composition is based on the ``HIDDEN DETAILS'' repertoire, and although the general outline remains the same, some details have been replaced. Starting with "Hidden Details", "One Glove", "Chloe And The Pirates", etc., rather than "LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO", it is reminiscent of the last performance in Japan held two years ago. It is. And the performance itself that makes up such a set is rich. Even though there was no audience, the enthusiasm of the performance was 100% directed toward each other, and their concentration was amazing, as if they were having a conversation using phrases. Of course, there is a feeling that they have not been good at MCing etc., but since they are not the type to make excitement with their performances in the first place, there is nothing unsatisfactory.In fact, the interaction of the performance is stronger than usual. It looks like a video version of ``LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO'' and may be the beginning of a new chapter for SOFT MACHINE. I'm worried about Marshall's current situation, but this is a video work that overflows with a rich performance of super quality that will soothe your worries. Multi-camera professional shot of "November 28, 2020 Cambridge Theater". This is a video of “CAMBRIDGE JAZZ FESTIVAL” which was held in a streaming style due to the new coronavirus pandemic, and of course the quality is completely official. John Marshall is absent due to medical treatment (details unknown), but Nick France participates in his place. Since there was no audience, the enthusiasm was 100% directed toward each other, and their concentration was amazing, as if they were having a conversation using phrases. It looks like a video version of ``LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO'' and may be the beginning of a new chapter for SOFT MACHINE. You can enjoy the “2020 SOFT MACHINE”, which is precious in every sense of the word. Live at Cambridge Junction, Cambridge, UK 28th November 2020 PRO-SHOT 1. Hidden Details 2.
