definitely one of my favorite hawkwind songs, and this live performance is the best version imho. The lineup here was truly at its best, Simon House's violin is stunning, beautiful....just amazes me.
Saw them in Cleveland just BEFORE, Edge of time was released . When the song ended it was totally quiet for a few seconds, everyone was totally blown away, then went into a loud cheer.
This gig was pretty much my doorway into hawkwind, I saw it on ch4's "cue the music" in the second half of the 80s. When I started listening to earlier material I realised that I recognised the sound from my childhood in the 70s. I must have been exposed to radio play back then. Anyway, I went on a very long hawkwind trek and they've been ingrained into my psyche ever since. Fly high.
@@markharwood7573 Oh, yeah. I'd never heard this before, and it absolutely ruins the first verse of "Golden Void." I mean, this is a nursery rhyme melody, FFS. Couldn't they have found someone able to handle it?
@@petercoonan1861 Space Ritual, I got it as a present from my girlfriend in 1973, she knew I already liked Hawkwind and I had recently seen them on the Space Ritual tour in 1972.
My good friend Martin “Beardy” Beard introduced me to Hawkwind at a young age, fortunately my father had taken me to see The Enid at the age of 12 so this was welcomed at the time 🙏🏻 Saw Hawkwind on this tour and they blew my mind 😂 that’s what they do 👊🏻
bridget (+ simon) should have done a couple more albums with hawkwind in the 90's.... bridget singing the right oldies (like reefer madness) she fitted in well....
I thought the live version from the 70s vinyl album was amazing. Time moves so quickly. The 80s were awesome for music, and this live version is incredible.
Самая лучшая композиция ( на мой вкус) у Hawkwind!!!!!!

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave. In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,- act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thanks nfor the post Buzz834 I'm sure your friend Martin would appreciate this :) A great band, been going for years.........almost as long as me! :) Sorry he's gone :( Once again thanx
Assault and Battery/Golden Void not "Lives of great men/Void of golden light", from Warriors On The Edge Of Time inspired by the writings of Michael Moorcock, a sometime Hawkwind collaborater who lived in Ladbroke Grove, London. Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, Warrior On The Edge Of Time etc.
Is this the Xenon Codex tour? I remember the scientist coats at Hammersmith must have been '88 or '89. Great show but felt so out of place by that time I was a short haired square surrounded by leathered hairies getting strange looks. lol
Simon and Bridget were the Space Bandits tour 89 / 90.... brock / davey / bainbridge / chadwick / wishart / house .... 88 was xenon codex.... brock / davey / bainbridge / lloyd-langton / thompson....
She fairs not well dear Jagged. Would that she spend time with that fairest of blooms, the Iron Orchid, then maybe she could come to better terms with our lives here. But I feel she misses this "husband" of hers too much. I asked the Duke on his thoughts to this but as usual his reply was ambiguous as always. Am glad you have returned for many times I sought your council but could not find you!
@@chrisbrockgeezer5511 Wow, pretty nasty given such a vague and incoherent reply. "most of do know". Boomer Bombastic. Give the caustic a rest, you're not a 12 year old troll, and this is a page concerning Hawkwind, so not likely anyone wants to hear the bile. Ease up mate, enjoy the ride, Hawkwind be smooth, and their music has lightened my life for 40 years on the trot.
Alex the source material for this is the Live Legends Video ... Dave Brock named it Lives of Great Men ... take it up with the man that claims the rights and payments. If you had ceased to earn royalties on an old song that you reworked, wouldn't you be tempted to rename it when releasing it again?
As an 89 year old I've booked my ticket for Liverpool next year, gonna be a great show I'm sure.
I remember Hawkwind back in the day, now I am 70 years old. Thinking what a cool sound.
62 here but know what you mean.
Opa loka for me, clearly too young 😂❤❤❤❤
RIP Marena, the biggest Hawkwind fan I ever knew.
the best band ever

Just AMAZING Music !!!
Saw them in 85 at Hammersmith doing live chronicles with moorcock narrating...awesome 😮

Fly high.
cos there was so much Hawkwind played on the radio in the 70s
This is your captain speaking your captain is dead ❤
The Simon House era was their best,in my opinion. Studio and live. Adds so much to the music...Brilliant.
Shredded that violin baby,yeah
GODS OF MUSIC
I've been a Hawkwind fan since about 72', I've seen a lot of changes, I like this line up.
Same here, apart from the hopeless singer, BW.
@@markharwood7573 Oh, yeah. I'd never heard this before, and it absolutely ruins the first verse of "Golden Void." I mean, this is a nursery rhyme melody, FFS. Couldn't they have found someone able to handle it?
What was the first Hawkwind album that you brought that made you a Hawkwind fan ?

one of the best songs ever...
Best of the BEST !!!
Bridget Wishart , made this line up very special . Great times :)
Ozrics, RDF, Back to the Planet, realy good times :),
My fave Hippy Slag.
bridget (+ simon) should have done a couple more albums with hawkwind in the 90's.... bridget singing the right oldies (like reefer madness) she fitted in well....
Ooh yes, but better in a studio, bless her😂😂
ya gotta love the mighty HAWKWIND... this was aired on tv in the uk late 80s.. a series of concerts called Bedrock.. i recorded it on vhs...
I was there at the recording.
Best live band in the land.
This was their best line up without a doubt, the sound is so whole...
Looking forward to seeing them in Belfast Mandella hall next year 🙂
Both magnificent and sublime.
that was absolutely awesome tripped a hole in the universe
Aka 'Assault and Battery (Part 1)' 'The Golden Void (Part 2)' as per the track list on "Warrior on the Edge of Time"
have seen them twice..in my hometown Bergen (Norway) in 1974 and 1976..both concerts were great..
superb, watched this gig in liverpool, seen these guys 15 times & met them in the closest pub everytime :-)
Is it Royal Court?
I was there in 1990 but memory of the gig is a bit mushy mushy mushrooms 😀
Craig this was Ipswich. Available as 'Live Legends'
@@croogytude yes with radio mongolia
sorry rdf 90' & mongs 89'
what a fantastic song... one of my favourites from hawkwind
one of my all time favorite songs !
Listen to Simon House in High Tide on Sea Shanties and the album of the same name. Two AMAZING albums!!!!
Loved watching this on a video, when I'd recorded it around 3am on a weekday when it was shown on ITV as part of a Bedrock series!!
Yes...memories emotion and that acid
music talent...our end of days euphoria
Brilliant!! band Hawkwind, great guys to know had some good times back in the 70s out with these guys;) nice post my friend, 1000************!!

Which live version on which live album? It wasn't on either space ritual or live 79
@@ganndeber1621 ,
Search Space Ritual full album on UA-cam. This song is in the mix. You'll have to be patient and listen, but it's here.
@@theghostofmaximumvolume3414 SO WHAT HE SAID THE VINYL LOVE ALBUM, YOU DICK
Gets me going ❤
Magical, deeply rich musically and colourful
Great to see the White Coat's making an appearance.
First HW song I ever heard.
Seen them in various reincarnation.
Absolutely brilliant.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,- act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o’erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Thank you! Perspective is a good thing to broaden, as is context.
Thanks Wolf, haven't read much of Longfellow, need to get a few more poetry books while I'm on furlough and feed my mind.
Thanks nfor the post Buzz834
I'm sure your friend Martin would appreciate this :) A great band, been going for years.........almost as long as me! :) Sorry he's gone :(
Once again thanx
Always good to hear memories think safe b safe. 1978 ! 2019
great upload, buzz! Hawkind: psychedelic at its best!
Assault and Battery/Golden Void not "Lives of great men/Void of golden light", from Warriors On The Edge Of Time inspired by the writings of Michael Moorcock, a sometime Hawkwind collaborater who lived in Ladbroke Grove, London. Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon, Warrior On The Edge Of Time etc.

Ali was Lemmy's prodigy.
Bass here is Alan Davey
GENIUS
Hawkwind man. What can I say.
Fantastic!
Love Alan laughing with Brocky @ 1.26...
That was reputedly the last time Dave ever laughed.
Richard is super
Oohh the Sweet Bridget !
Hawkwind god's grace.. some hawkwind god's.. don't know .. god is in control of hawkwind
best enjoyed in late teens or early 20's accompanied by 🍄🫖 or later in life with a slice of nostalgia
Great!!
Classic!!!! By the way anyone got some spare acid
Go and see Horace and Boris. They got some.
nanananana nanananana (nanananana nanananana nanananana) what more can I say?
Superb.
Это просто офигенно

Yep Neil on drums
My other band is a Motörhead lol. Lem without a big hat 🎩 is crazy
That's not Lemmy. lol.

Try a playback speed of about 0.9, seems better.
Is this the Xenon Codex tour? I remember the scientist coats at Hammersmith must have been '88 or '89. Great show but felt so out of place by that time I was a short haired square surrounded by leathered hairies getting strange looks. lol

Hello Jherek dear boy..Tell me, how is Amelia?

It has the 'Lives of Great Men' title on the 'Palace Springs' album, which has the same line-up as this concert.
It's definitely "Assault and Battery" but I typed in "Lives of Great Men" and this video was top of the list......Tomato, Tomato?

Still have the video!
Shame they have to put hawkwind stickers on everything so no-one nicks them after the show...
HAWKWIND FOREVER. CHIRAQ
Who's on keyboard and violin?
Harvey and Simon.
Formation names?
I think that girl to a wrong turning to the swim pool and passed through an dimensional door
This is Assault & Battery
Rik mayall on fiddle
63k views and 776 likes clearly demonstrates most viewers are not worthy space cadets
yeah, but with swimmin' goggles...(?)
Should have played Last night at the Opera..modern UK mastermind..are you listening sad Tik Tok mind dead generation?
Title = a)Assault & Battery b)The Golden Void
Change Title Pls
check the source and change your complaint please - the only good pedant is a CORRECT pedant
Wrong title! It’s Assault and Battery part 1 and the Golden Void part 2.
Alex the source material for this is the Live Legends Video ... Dave Brock named it Lives of Great Men ... take it up with the man that claims the rights and payments. If you had ceased to earn royalties on an old song that you reworked, wouldn't you be tempted to rename it when releasing it again?
Do like the speeded up version.
🐵
Why the fuck is this so speeded up from the album, sorry sounds too manic. it was a poor choice to do this....
This is Assault and Battery part 1…. Golden Void part 2.
Really bad singing version of Golden Void.
