THE SOFT MACHINE : Hendrix Tour, USA, 1968

Thanks to Ian (Toronto) for this 110% gem - just converted it from FLAC to MP3 for the convenience of downloaders. These 3x concert extracts round up the existing material from the Softs' 1968 US Tour where they supported the Jimi Hendrix Experience. All are audience recordings but essential all the same, as they are the last gigs featuring Kevin Ayers, who was then replaced by the Soft's roadie, one Hugh Hopper .

Tracks 1-10 = Coliseum Ballroom, Davenport, Iowa, 11/8/68
Tracks 11-16 = Merriweather Post Pavillion, Columbia, Maryland, 16/8/68
Tracks 17-20 = Hollywood Bowl, 13/9/68.

This material has been released under different titles (& with different covers / artwork), including "Dada Insanity Vol 3" and "The Soft Machine Conquers America 1968). Some of the artwork is included on the file...
