 Fair enough & I agree, but at the same time, I've been to Hawkwind gigs off
differing volumne and I must admit I prefer the ones which are so loud it blows
my hair back, wind tunnel-like ;)


I think the quiestest set I saw them do was at the Treworgy Festival about 8
years ago, when (I think) a pre-amp blew (or something) and it was so quiet Here
& Now drowned them out from the other end of site. I was in the second or third
row and couldn't *quite* hear the band because people were talking!
