Weekend bootlegs: Soft Machine and Metallica

Two excellent live bootlegs for this weekend:
  • The “Hazard Profile” live by Soft Machine, recorded at two different places in the UK. I am listening to this live jointly with the remastered versions of Six and Seven, which do not have Robert Wyatt's imagination, voice and creativity as Soft Machine's first three albums, but which stay very good progressive rock albums.
  • The “Sick of Werchter” live by Metallica, recorded in Germany this year. A lot of old classics from Kill'Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and …And Justice for All. They even played Orion! I need to say that this live is by far the best live bootleg I have heard from Metallica, and the second best live after the S & M album.
