4 stars This live recording, made after 'Fourth' and before the live set on 'Virtually' (so, a few months before Wyatt left), comes together very well. With added guests from Elton Dean's group (which became 'Just Us'?), this set comes across as full of life, more so than 'Fourth'.

4 stars A very good live recording of vintage era line up SOFT MACHINE which includes HUGH HOPPER,MIKE RATLEDGE and ROBERT WYATT.Jazzy and at the same time rocking.Excellent sound quality and clarity on this one.Two longest and most jammin' cuts include the opener BLIND BADGER and closing tune TEETH/PIGLING BLAND.Well worth the effort to seek out this British import.

5 stars Live BBC album of SOFT MACHINE announced in 1993 "BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert". It is a live board recorded on March 11, 1971 when "4" was announced. The sound is SOFT MACHINE at time when it devoted exactly oneself to the free jazz of "4". Jazz-rock that excels, and is clear to record finishes overall being skilled.
