    Feck me, is it really that long ago...
    Was that when Bob Calvert was with them?

    I recall seeing them play in the sunrise at Stone Henge, almost 25 years ago. Sigh.

      Odd coincidence. On Thursday bought a CD from a live blues group in a pub called Sons of the Delta. They seemed pretty good to me although as usual I had surrounded quite a bit of vodka at the time. Not had a chance to play it yet.

        Indeed, "Astounding Sounds,Amazing Music" was released on Charisma in 1976. There may have been a contract-filling compilation on UA though.
        I was a great Hawkfan in the Eighties, and saw them live several times, each time heavily intoxicated, as their tours always seemed to coincide with the mushroom season. . However, each time they were crappier than the previous time (or maybe the mushies were weaker), so I gave up. I saw them on the "Levitation" tour with H.I.M. Ginger Baker on Drums. 15 minute drum solo during Brainstorm. Incroyable. I like that instumental on "Warrior" - "Spiral Galaxy 28948" is it? Wasn't it? Hmmmmmm. Now, the only Hawkwind I've got is "Space Ritual".
