I saw Hawkwind in the mid 70s. Can't say I remember much about it...:scratch:

Used to love Hawkwind,you can tell, for some reason I've amassed three copies of Space Ritual and two of Masters of the Universe. Still played loudly when SWMBO is out!

Saw Hawkwind twice, the first time at my university around 1977 (Queen Mary College) and the second at Lewisham Odeon a few years later. Space Ritual was my first album and I then started to backfill the studio albums.

I can't explain what it is about them exactly, but they have never been far away from my playlist. They capture me in a way that few bands can.

They are playing Warrior on The Edge of Time in full in Bournemouth soon :) Only ever got to see them once back in the day (70's) but its a fine memory, so I'm in two minds about going to see them :scratch:

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:

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.

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 :lol:

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!

rip off new version of warrior for eighty quid

...........

The super deluxe edition of the classic 1975 album, Warrior On The Edge Of Time.

Featuring the band at its most conceptual, ambitious and Progressive, Warrior is rightly regarded as one of the most essential releases in Hawkwind's illustrious catalogue.

In addition to containing everything in the deluxe set, the super deluxe version also includes an audiophile flat transfer heavyweight LP (in facsimile 'shield' gatefold sleeve with insert), a 48 page booklet, three promotional postcards, a replica 1975 concert ticket, and a reproduction a US in-store poster.

Pre-order for 25th May release.
