HW Space Ritual

[Steve Swann]

I have to wonder what happened when I saw Nikwind (when he was backed the Pressurehead guys) in NY years ago.  The band gave a great performance and Nik was downright gentlemanly.  He freaking bowed to the audience at the end, and in a very formal voice thanked us all for attending!  It was a great show I wouldn't have thought twice about going back to see them again.  And my wife saw Nikwind twice and she said the show I missed was even better.

And yet I always hear these stories about him being a loose cannon.  Did I just get lucky seeing that show??

Hi there

This show is a good idea but if they play as bad as they did in Herne Bay than it will be a waste of money.

It was an absolutely crap performance.


The only highlight was Jerry Richards

I only see one chace for this event to be successfull.
Playing without Nik Turner

He is the one who ruins every gig.
I am sorry to say it but it is the truth

I've got no real insight, but I think the band we are talking about is basically the band as performed at Herne Bay for the Calvert tribute, playing the music of the Space Ritual... seems like an excellent prospect to me and I have absolutely no problem putting money into Nik's pocket (and the rest of the guys involved)... in fact, given the performance at Herne Bay... personally I'd be delighted to put money in their pocket! :)

Hej

How I would love to come and see this but seeing as it will hardly have any of the original band:

No lemmy, no calvert, no brock, no stacia, most likely not Simon King that means it will be:

Nik, maybe Del Dettmar, Dik Mik.. probably only Nik... I don't actually see the point except to put some cash into Niks pocket and those surrounding the event.....

And I will not likely travel from Denmark to see it.. Let's see what the details bring...before making final judgement.
