A document of the band in the summer of 1974 as fusion was becoming popular with an ever increasing audience. This band were pioneers in jazz/rock and adding an electric guitarist increased attention with fans of virtuosity in the guitar world. Allan Holdsworth was a phenomenal guitarist and this concert shows his strength with the band. Anyone who loves the Soft Machine and their English Jazz will find this era of the band special. They were promoting the album Bundles, which was a standout release in the catalog of a band which experimented with the outer edges of fusion and took the genre into uncharted territory.
