Hawkwind
The Starwood
West Hollywood, CA
March 23rd 1978
Remastered audience recording.
Not great quality but may be of interest to die-hard Hawkheads.
I spent far too much time on it including patching gaps
but at the end of the day I was, as they say in the trade, polishing a turd.
Quite enjoyable non the less.
It brought back memories for me: The Robot coming onstage
and a dude in a full NASA Apollo style spacesuit lumbering around as Bob Calvert
manically waved a huge American flag on a pole during 'Uncle Sam's on Mars'.
They played a residency at the Starwood from March 22nd to March 25th.
The 1978 US expedition was the final hurrah for this line-up.
Simons House/King and Adrian Shaw all left the band after the tour
leaving Brock and Calvert with some recruiting to do.

Thanks for posting this. Hawkwind isn't so much a guilty pleasure as a goofy friend that does dumb things but you can't help but forgive them and enjoy their presence. Does that make any sense at all?
ReplyDeleteYeah they take a lot of forgiving :)
