Hi John, I believe I remember you from the old days when we did the Kadu
Flyer, yes?
Thank you, for confirming my opinion of a lot of the NEAR Fest. crowd, (I'm
more progressive than you, because my taste is more rhythmically complex). I
tried to engage many people in conversation, but by being only a Hawkfan I
just wasn't cool enough.
I probably got a different perspective on the sound, especially Dave's
guitar, since I got a "handicapped," I hate that word, seat, and was hearing
everything from the stage, rather than the PA.  I really enjoyed all 3
shows.
I think the British and American perspectives on light shows is very
different.  When we toured with the band in 1990, we had a couple of
Deadheads doing the light  show, and the band were not happy at all with it.
Thanks for the review, I was too into the show to do any analyzing at the
time.  I wish I had a tape to review it now.  I do agree about the clanky
keyboard sound, it just doesn't work for me, but the Winds of Change are
always flowing through Hawkwind, and if Jason reads these postings maybe
he'll start experimenting with other sounds.

Best wishes,

Kaduflyer
