HAWKWIND
\ UK - FLICKNIFE RECORDS ~ SHARP 022
Over their 40-odd year history, HAWKWIND are probably the most famous underground rock band in the world. The group was formed in the late '60s by guitarist/singer Dave BROCK, guitarist Mick SLATTERY and saxman/flautist/singer Nik TURNER. Dave BROCK was the leader of HAWKWIND and he was the captain, as it were.
The live acoustics at this venue afforded a very spacious and pulsating sound for Hawkwind. You never know which Hawkwind is going to show up for a gig. The "wow man" Hawkwind or the " what the freak was that?" Hawkwind. This was the definitely the former!
We get to hear a heavier classic ( Angels Of Death ) as well as several live variations from the Levitation album . A killer faster version of "PSI Power" from the '25 Years On' LP is played here too during which time they had to change their name to Hawklords while legal issues were being sorted out. It is listed here as PSY Power for those very legal reasons, the inclusion of which is revealing of how suprising a Hawkwind show can be, and how suprising Hawkwind as a band can be period. Perhaps the real gem here though, is 'Shot Down In The Night' where they really jam it out with the double guitars are used to great effect an offer contrasts between Lloyd Langton and Commander Brock`s riffing.
This is also a record for older Hawkfans to play detect the anomolies game on some tracks. In much the same ways that Trekkies can identify idioms from particular Star Trek episodes Hawkfans can do the same with Hawkwind's music. A long time Hawkwind fan may manage to find snippets and introplations here and there. For example, a good minute and half of "Psychosis" turns up well as an psychedelic passage section from the haunting "Seven Seconds Of Forever" which blew so many young space hippies completely away on their 1972 magnus opus " Space Ritual" LP. Plus a few more suprises that you`ll have to detect yourself. Heh heh.
Two other great tracks appear in this package, " Stonehenge Decoded " and " Watching The Grass Grow " were recorded on the evening of 20/21st June 1984 in celebration of the summer solice ( could have had something to do with aliens as well ), which drew over 65,000 hippies, lots of cops and numerous other bands who waived their fees for this event, celebration, pilgrimage or whatever you want to call it so many people who couldn`t afford to attend other larger more expensive festivals such as Reading and Glastonbury could come here and trip out. Needless to say, the long haired freaky people didn`t behave that well and climbed up on the stones, smoked too much dope and then the British powers that be shut down the festival without giving too much notice. Hawkwind were the headliners on this "auspicious" Occasion.. No matter, for what we have here is not only one of the best recordings of Hawkwind from many moons ago, but one of their best ever which reflects just what Hawkwind is all about -- not just musically but in concept and spirit.
