Seeing the real deal soon at Stroud Sub. Rooms,but been catching them since the early 70's...think i've only seen DR.Feelgood more times...(dates me,lol)
Jinx, I've only been going to Hawkwind gigs since the mid 80's. I must be younger than you.
Back then Glastonbury was still good and you could see Hawkwind for free in the travellers field. Well, until it all went silly when the 'Brew Crew' beat them up and smashed up their bus and nicked all their drugs. That's when Dave Brock said that's it, no more free festivals. And that was the end of that, all down to the 'Brew Crew'.
Younger than ME,Big C...??I'm only 24 (in my mind)..i've just had my Sixth Decade marker fly past,but substituted my own reality..i can remember Stacia the Stripper being banned from the stage by Cheltenham Town Council,much to the chagrin of us lusty lads ..also a great set they did at Reading Festival one year,very late at night,atmospheric indeed..:)>
On that subject, theres a covers band around called 'The Busby Babes' who do a wicked version of 'Comfortably Numb' as part of their repertoire. Not many take that song on.
