De-lurking briefly..........

The band's 2nd set at Hawkeaster this year.  Many will undoubtedly disagree
but is this the best ever Hawkwind set list?   Certainly the best I've
heard.

Earth calling
Assault and Battery
Elegant intro into Golden Void (with some beautiful black and golden thread
globe images)
Utopia  [with extended lyrics]
Time We Left  [some very sharp harsh edgy music here]
Steppenwolf
New Jerusalem [yes, I shall repeat that: New Jerusalem]  The extended
beautiful delicate intro evolved into the full song with Dibbs doing the
vocals
Flying Doctor [a long extended version]
The Only Ones
A Dave Brock ballad - in the same key as Mirror of Illusion but it isn't
Zarozinia
Orgone Accumulator
Psychedelic Warlords
Hassan I Sahba - with Arabian interlude in the middle - as the final song

Encore:
Lord of Light (I think - I'd stopped taking notes by this point)
Better Believe It - another long extended version with the dancing skeleton
images

started 9.15pm finished 11.15pm(ish) and it was very warm inside that hall

Thanks to the band and everyone else involved for an excellent weekend
and best wishes for their short Tokyo tour!
