I noticed the same thing, Bernhard, and was also wondering from where this 
version of Death Trap was taken.  Since the tapes have been edited, it calls 
into question the other songs as well.  I haven't done a side-by-side 
comparison with the "actual" tape of the show, so I don't yet know if other 
songs were exchanged as well.

Hawkwind is indeed a band of mystery, not the least of which includes my 
having applied for a replacement  passport 4 times in the last 3 years with 
no results whatsoever (my original from years back never having been 
returned by the band).

I've enjoyed what I've seen and heard of the Porchester show and other shows 
on the current tour.  Even what I've heard from Huw I thought was quite 
respectable, despite some comments to the contrary.  It was mesmerizing to 
hear Dave play the harmonica, since the community's only familiarity with 
that skill dates primarily from his pre-Hawkwind days.

Long may they fly!
