Recorded by the BBC back in 1972 for their radio show In Concert, this brief Hawkwind set is a real blinder, catching the band at their peak and experimental best.Featuring the classic early Seventies line up, including both Del Dettmar and Dik Mik generating sonic oscillations and brain warping electronic atmospherics, this set effortlessly moves from one track to another via some far out space poetry.
'Earth Calling', 'Welcome to the Future' and the opening riff on Moorcock's words from his sci-fi horror classic The Black Corridor all make for a nerve tingling listen.
This set also includes what has to be my favourite version of 'Silver Machine'; Lemmy spits the words; just making me want to get in my car and drive; just drive; drive away into the night.You know what I mean?

Thanks for this and your excellent choice of music.

Can't wait to hear this - my favorite Hawkwind era... not that I can think of an unfavorite Hawkwind era, but...
C'Mon Wales, let's space out with Man,

Thanks.
There's an awful lot of the Man Band out there already, but I may be able to conjure up something or other...
Heddwch, roy
