Soft Machine/Osaka,Japan 2018

From the “Farewell JAPAN Tour”, which was the last performance in Japan in 2018, the final performance, twice a day in Osaka on July 31st, is completely recorded with digital audience recording. It’s a small hall, and the sound, which uses the famous “Schoeps Mk.4” that is recognized by world masters, is so perfect that it is exactly the same as in Japan after having previously held 4 performances in 2 days in Tokyo. A complete reproduction of all the performances from the last day. Additionally, approximately 20 songs were played on the two stages that day, but since it was the same day at the same venue, the set was changed significantly, and the songs that were played at both performances were “Hidden Details” and “Hazard Profile.” Just the songs. What’s more, the daytime section featured many rare numbers, starting with “Chloe and the Pirates” from “SIX,” followed by “Song of Aeolus,” “Facelift,” “Out of Season,” and “Grape Hound.” The set contents recall each period in the long history, up to “One Glove” from the final work “HIDDEN DETAILS”. In addition, the evening session features a diverse repertoire that makes you realize the breadth of the band’s 50 years, including songs from the legacy period such as “Voyage Beyond Seven,” “The Steamer,” and “Pump Room.” In addition, special guest Gary Husband will also be making his presence felt on the keyboard, adding color to his last day in Japan. A limited edition memorial item that is a must-have for all prog rock & jazz rock fans. Disc 1 : -1st show- 1. Intro. 2. Hidden Details 3. Chloe and the Pirates 4. John Etheridge solo 5.
