Hawklords
Guildhall
Portsmouth, UK
October 14th 1978
Remastered audience recording.
Not great sound quality.
Probably one for hard core fans only.
I saw Hawkwind a couple of times on the 78 'Hawklords' tour.
I think the temporary name change was a legal thing
concerning an ongoing dispute with Nik Turner.
They leant heavily on the new album which pissed me off at the time.
Now, of course, it seems like an Uncle Bob Calvert classic.
They had ultra violet lights which made it look
as if you were covered in bits of fluff/lint.
The effect became a staple of discos by the early 80s
but this was my first exposure to it.
I remember wondering why the fuck my black T shirt was covered white specks
and attempting to brush/pick them off.
Then looking around to see loads of other people doing exactly the same thing.
Hawkwind always had a trick up their sleeve.
