Hawkwind

[colourful-era]

Any Hawkwind fans out there?

Space is calling...........



Hawkwind are in my top 5 of all time favourite bands - got into them as a teenager when I used to do acid and smoke loads of dope - great music, lyrics and artwork.

Used to own nearly all of the albums on vinyl - not so easy to get hold of nowadays.

I only ever saw them the once - also at Hammersmith Odeon , London - in about 1988.

any other fans out there?

I used to listen to them a lot, not so much these days.

Have you ever heard of Gong, another bunch of hippy acid freaks?

This was my era! saw them three times, I think! times were blurry then, if I remember correctly saw then twice at Windsor free festival, and once in Leeds in a big hall that had walls that moved a lot!
Rock On!

persoanlly preferred gong.
Saw them only the once in France.Camembert electrique was Virgin's first album release wasn't it?
That i show i found it as it was a dirt cheap loss leader.
recorded in northern france only on full moon nights - yes really into the commercial stuff
when one record label ( whom they had left i believe) released a live album they came out with their own "Gong is Dead".
I have most of their stuff full of teapot taxis and pothead pixies - good stuff

I hope Hawkwind have replced that dancer who used to dance naked with them on stage. She would be a bit long in the tooth and the tit by now

yeah, they were definitely the daze all right!

Neve really got into Gong -

Hawkwind were the business - Some great far-out space tunes plus vibrant rock.

that fat bird that used to dance naked under the strobes, she looked like a big blob of mercury when she got sweaty

enough to give a bad trip!!

My favourite Hawkwind album : PXR5

[Marmite the Dog]

I think I used to have a copy of 'In Search of Space' once.

[colourful-era]

what happened to it then Spaceboy?


Live '79 and 'Levitation' were also favourites. (still are)

[Marmite the Dog]

what happened to it then Spaceboy?

I've no idea. It was about 20 years ago.

Fek, I'm old.

[Donleavy]

I like 'Space Ritual' and 'In the Hall of the Mountain Grill' very much.

Hawkwind, "Live in Belgium" kicks.
So does Monster Magnet, space-rock - baby!

Just downloaded that classic "Orgone Accumulator".

[Begbie]

Quark Strangeness and Charm. I saw them once, but was a bit tired and fell asleep. I woke up some time later and they were still playing the same tune, possibly.

I suspect you downed the wrong pill before the concert.
