Didier MALHERBE (à la "flûte" )....! Un des musiciens Français (des 40 dernières années) des plus "inventifs" et des plus doués...! Ce gars (via GONG et HADOUK TRIO ... ) a participé à mon ouverture musicale (avec les Albums "SHAMAL" et "GAZEUSE ! " que j'ai connus et dévorés des zoreilles en 1990 , j'avais 19 ans..! ). MALHERBE est un musicien avec qui on se sent BIEN. Ce gars , sent et sert la musique..........

I went to one of Gong's 50th anniversary gigs in 2019. I don't think there was anyone on stage over the age of 45, but unbelievably, it was the same band I saw in 1974 and a few times since. At least it sounded it - top class musicianship, six part harmonies for one song, same vibe, same thrill. See them if you get a chance - they were touring with Steve Hillage. After the phenomenal1974 show in Preston, my mate and I found a lost Count Bloomdido Bad de Grasse in the subway under the Guildhall, trying to navigate the labyrinth back to the car park. Easily done, I almost lost the car there once. Nice guy.

That struck me too, these veterans may look a bit older but the music hasn't aged nor their ability to play it. Allen sings just as well as always, and Malherbes doudouk is just perfect. What an intro he made!

That is Malherbes, watch the ending when Daevid introduces him.

@@rich9619 Hi, Rich. How about Ozric Tentacles (I'm fond of 1990's 'Pungent Effulgent'). And what about Soft Machine. I rather like 1975's 'Bundles'. Both bands still active in some form.

Hi Nick,thanks for replying...funny I just started checking out Ozric..I think I'll like them a lot. I will search out Soft Machine bundles too.

43 now. Hippie by personal choice after the 90s which re-emphasized the values of the 60s. I had some spectacular times at free festivals and impromptu raves on private land (non destructive and respectful) in the early 90s. We had a really tight and large group. It was a proper community. I'll never forget those days and then the Criminal justice act came in made parties like that illegal. Damn shame. Thatcher wrecked Britain. We soldier on. Luv and Peace.

[@sucsut]

I Gong sono un gruppo di rock progressivo fondato dal musicista australiano Daevid Allen, precedentemente membro dei Soft Machine. Il loro stile è talvolta catalogato anche come space rock ed ha uno strettissimo legame con la scena di Canterbury. Una delle caratteristiche più particolari del gruppo è l'incredibile anticonformismo dei suoi membri (a partire da Allen), e la variopinta "mitologia" messa in scena nei loro testi.
