High rise

Hi Alistair,

ACK to that! It's my favourite Hawkwind tune and the bass-playing there
is one of the reasons I started to learn playing bass.
BTW, it seems I can't find the bass-tab section of the starfarer site,
only the guitar-chord one...

I know (and have heard versions) from Ade Shaw (of course), Harvey
Bainbridge (during the Hawklords years, there's a nice
Hawklords-version with Harvey playing on the "Hawklords live" disc),
Ron Tree (during the 1999 winter tour IIRC) and of course Alan Davey.

I have no idea how many time it has been performed, but AFAIK it wasn't
played live between the Hawklords-period and 1999, when it returned
with Ron Tree as bassist.
