Daevid Allen, RIP

Sad news that Daevid Allen, co-founder of Soft Machine and instigator of the seemingly never-ending Gong, has passed away today at the age of 77. He was undoubtedly a exceptional musical innovator without whom the world would have been a poorer and more boring place. He will be greatly missed but his music, as they say, will live on. RIP Daevid.

I recently read that he was suffering.

The memories of discovering Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You back in ~ 1980 or so are priceless. And my favorite - the 1976 Live recording Vive le Gong - Gong est Mort - with some powerhouse performances of the true Gong classics

I think I'm buying the farewell recording just because.....

RIP to a true free spirit,,,,
