Hawkwind releases

[dhuggins]

Speaking of releases,

        I've always wondered where the complete tape is of the Chicago show from
the 78 US QS&C tour (the source of "Spirit of the Age" on Friends and
Relations)-It would make a GREAT release. Anybody know, or is this one of
those forever-lost things?
