Rock & Blues Custom Show

[Hawkwind1999 at AOL.COM]

Hi all
Did anyone else here go ?

It rained all afternoon turning the campsite into a mud bath, the sun came 
out and so did RAINBOW RISING, thank god for the sun !  If you were trying to 
impersonate Richie Blackmore I think you should spend more than £10 on a wig... 
that's what it looked like to me.

Next up BUDGIE, a group I had not seen since the early 80's, and they can 
still rock, The new guitarist was trying to make good quality simple tunes 
complicated, OK you can play guitar, just keep to the script next time please.  If 
you ever get a sniff of a chance to see them do so. (Richard Chadwick was 
spotted watching the set from the front of the crowd).

Molly Hatchet next, a poor mans Lynyrd Skynyrd, who's set went on and on, and 
resulted in less time for the Hawks...Nothing else to say.

Finally HAWKWIND, from infront of the stage the sound was terrible, so a 
quick retreat of about 20 metres to get the full effect of the light show and 
better,  balanced sound from the P.A.  This was the first time that I had seen 
Arthur, and I shall reserve judgement until I have taken in a few more gigs. 
Midnight came very quickly, a quick encore and off.

Highlight's of the day, the rain stopping and Budgie.

If anyone else went please let me know what they thought of the Hawks, is it 
that I am getting to old for these outdoor events (yes I am),  or was it not a 
good gig ? I would be interested in another persons point of view.
