I wish they were coming to Birmingham! That's one of my favourite hawkwind records.
I only saw them once and they were very disappointing, I think it was the Alien 4 or Distant Horizons tour, and unfortunately Ron Tree did all the singing (I'm not a fan of his). They were also completely off their faces which didn't help. I'd love to give them another try
1972 was the last time I saw Hawkwind at this little gathering up the road from me:

Hifi: IPL transmission line floorstanding speakers, Squeezebox Touch, Denafrips Ares 11 DAC, DCB1 Pre-amplifier, Croft Series 7 power amp.
Custom Hifi cables HA10SE headphone amplifier and Hifiman HE-400 headphones.
AV system: LG 55B7, Denon AVR -x2300w receiver, Quad 12L (front) 11c Centre and 11L rear . Velodyne DD15 subwoofer.
I saw Hawkwind probably seven or eight times in my formative years. Still have the albums and still give them a spin, along with the Floyd, Zappa and Crimson amongst others.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Can I get back to you by Friday - I really don't like the venue, but it might be OK for a Hawkwind gig - too many chatting fans there and its unreserved standing. Last gig there I walked out because of the audience, mind you it was the fecking girls and it should be old, greasy, pot bellied blokes at this one

Yep - denim and leather jacket territory (like Ruth's observation of the Yes gig we went to). I shouldn't worry about the chatter, I doubt we'll hear anything above the sound they make judging by when I saw them last. Let me know!
