--including Jimi Hendrix.  Mitch Mitchell was so good, though, holding things together.  Allen Holdsworth was there with Soft Machine, but not yet playing that incredible stuff he started doing in the mid 80's.

Hi Dave,
    Thoroughly enjoyed reading your message.  Thanks for posting!  One correction, though.  This was nearly a decade before Holdsworth joined Soft Machine. Actually it was none other than a young Andy Summers (yep, the same Andy Summers later in The Police) that played guitar in Soft Machine on that tour. 
    Regards,      Alan
