Soft Machine/London, UK 2022

This is Soft Machine's latest live recording. The label released an item last year (2021), but drummer John Marshall is back in this release. It's an audience recording, but the sound quality is so high that you'd think it was a soundboard until you heard the cheers and applause between songs. The close applause between songs, "clap, clap, clap, clap...", has been cut and edited. The previously mentioned title "LIVE AT PORGY & BESS 2021 (2CD+1DVD)" released by the same label is also recommended for its excellent sound quality and image quality.
