A live album by Soft Machine, recorded at Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, 25/10/1970, some months after their Third album was released. Very good sound quality.
Ratledge's keyboard work is amongst the best (if not the best), I've heard from him. It reminds me that his playing skills, a great ability to improv, and also move the band in explosively different directions, was never matched by those more famous prog keyboardists who never risked major changes from concert to concert.
