I was fortunate to be at the Ipswich Gaumont show March 1984. HLL ridiculously brilliant. I'm currently as a 60 year old bassist singer reinventing my life in a band. We do the Watcher, and Assassins of allah, instrumental version. HW, live forever.
To the 3 people that willingly and without prompting clicked on this song and then disliked it......I feel sorry for you your lives must be so empty and void
What a guitarist Huw was. Amazing. Some guitarists have a magic about them that other players don't have: Ritchie Blackmore, Rory Gallagher, Frank Marino, Mike Oldfield, Guthrie Govan. HLL was up there with the best. I'm just glad I got to see him a few times.
Huw had Celtic blood. That and his deep blues roots gave his playing an extra lyricism; Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore, Brian Robertson..& Huw, Celtic rock warriors.
Hawkwind are one of the best live bands ever, I've seen them many times over the years, the first time was the Choose your masks tour in the early eighties as a teenage kid, mind blown I've loved them ever since. Nik Turner rest in peace beyond the realms of ancient light! It great to know Bob Calvert has a blue plaque on the tower block in Margate. Stay high, stay free, 👍👍👍👊✌️🌍.
@@faithnomore7959 Yes you should be able to see the footage on UA-cam, it's on the Margate Tower Block near the Station where Bob once lived. Please look it up on UA-cam. 👍👊✌️🌍.
YYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS what a jolt of exuberant joy. Nik had that Burning Man aesthetic down long before that festival ever saw the light of day! Love seeing HLL play, and sporting that 80s new wave look.. Dave, what a bandleader, and the rest of the band, timeless, classic. Absolute gold space dust.
@@johnirwin2163 such venom, why? don't matter on our fav bass player or lead geetar, they all brought to the table all the ingredients, for our ears benefit, put down In history... on vynil too! much love. Simon King was the only hawkwind drummer tho! 😂
Dave Brock on guitar. Dead Fred (Phil Reeves) on Hammond Organ, EMS Synthi, Violin. Harvey Bainbridge on Bass and Keyboards. Huw Lloyd Langton on lead Guitar. Clive Deamer on Drums. Nik Turner on Sax and frontman antics. everyone sang on this tour exept Clive. the vocal harmony blend in 1984 was just spot on.
This was the second song I heard from the band. The first was the 1985 radio 1 studio session featuring magnu, dream worker and the dust of time solo. What an introduction! 😍😍
Oh man ! Glory days - that period from the 1980 Choose your Masks to '84 tour and that insane gig at Solstice at Stonehenge ! Nothing compares ! A year after this tour Nik was back on road with Inner City Unit (which was fun ... especially E.L.V.I.S and Rajneesh ... but ... ) ...Hawkwind was never quite right without Nik .... if I had a time machine I'd be back there in a heart beat !!! Anybody still remember Nik coming out of the coffin during ghost dance !!!
NIck was always a colourful character but became more so in the 80's when Dave allowed him to re-Join Hawkwind again..lol And Huw....wow what a great lead guitarist ..really suited the Music
Fav hawkwind song, such amazing political lyrics, especially at the beginning and love the guitar solos and simple chuggy riff! My go to song when needed 👍
Floored by the flu but crawled out of my bed to see this show in February 1984 at the Glasgow Apollo.The band were dressed as doctors in long white coats I seem to remember
@@marxman00Lemmy played on the original. Earth ritual was released as an ep but it was going to be a full album featuring the return of lemmy and calvert. Shame. Love Alan Davey too, but he's a lemmy clone at best, so I in my playing so that's no insult.
Christian is correct, it is the Earth Ritual Preview version with Lemmy. It's exactly the same, Lem's voice can clearly be heard. And check Huwy's soloing around the 3 min mark, he doesn't quite play the same as the studio track. It's the promo clip from the Ipswich video.
Was at this gig, saw them later in 1984, Norwich UEA. Turner still had the 'hubcap' he did not feature in the black sword gigs at Hammersmith. I guess 1984 was his Swan song.
Disagree. A few years later in 1988, they were on full flow - the late 1988 tour was brilliant. They never really recovered from Huw leaving in my opinion.
@@heimlichvonbladderburst8348 They became the Dave Brock band, rather than a group of equally capable musicians. Just look at the early members: Bob Calvert, Lemmy, Huw Lloyd Langton, Brock, Dave Harrison, Nik Turner, Tim Blake and several others. Many better known musicians credited early Hawkwind as an influence. But taste in music is personal, of course.
Yes I am STILL totally BEWILDERED why dave let nik the prick back in the band... Cos he has no exceptional talent.. Apart from robbing hub caps off fans cars in the car park.. I can only think that he was the supplier of the substances.. Or they kept him about.. To mind the substances at customs and border checkpoints.... Clever them hawks.. Cleverer than nik anyway.
I think the idea was they were taking themselves too seriously and Nik brought a touch of down-to-earth humour. Personally, I hated his clowning around and aimless noodling. Should have saved that for Inner City Unit but not the main act, Hawkwind.

Awesome. Blessed that i saw Hawkwind many times in this era and that I can still see them today. RIP Nik and Huw.
The most entertaining band I've ever seen, and I've seen Zappa and Floyd.

Huw Lloyd Langton was an amazing guitarist

Got to meet Nik Turner. What a guy. This was one of the best hawkwind lineups.
RIP Huw Lloyd-Langton.
And now RIP Nik Turner. Died just last November :(.
An expensive clown.

The best and still relevant today..
One of their best songs, feel the vibe it's contagious
one of their best songs ever.
It's amazing how futuristic you can look in a leotard and a hubcap
....and an old school skateboarding helmet
@@gingafuzz1 Don't forget the sunnies lmao
ROFL
saw them 5 times in 84, amazing time for HW
Mighty song.
3:25 Tony Iommi on violin
Tony iommi not
Simon House.
Floored by the flu but crawled out of my bed to see this show in February 1984 at the Glasgow Apollo.The band were dressed as doctors in long white coats I seem to remember
The white labcoat “boffin rock" phase - which Harvey Bainbridge seemed to favour.
An original Flicknife Recording 1984
Line up I first saw, amazing
Me too both nights at hammermith. Moorcock, Lemmy...crazy nights.then ramsgate & 'henge 84. Not bad intro !
Love 'em in rock & roll mode!
Такую прелесть, да в хорошем бы качестве.
Que energía y buena vibra desprende esta banda, nadie debería privarse de escucharles.
THE MIGHTY THUNDER RIDER NIK TURNER!
Saw at the nine thirty in DC back in December of 1990. Best show of a lifetime!
Absolute quality.
Great Band
Long live Hawkwind! Long live crazy psychedelic space rock!
Damn i miss this band why is it youtube the only place to watch "their" old concerts online nowadays? sux man i hate YT thiefs
🦅.Fly High Thunder Rider. 🦅
Invisible Lemmy adds a lot to this
A Mini Lemmy, called Alan Davey
@@marxman00Lemmy played on the original. Earth ritual was released as an ep but it was going to be a full album featuring the return of lemmy and calvert. Shame. Love Alan Davey too, but he's a lemmy clone at best, so I in my playing so that's no insult.
Cardiff uni, acid, loved it....

Who gives a flipping niptuk about soccer when you can listen to hawkwind.

Ipswich Gaumont March 1984. I was there.
I met Nik twice , was on stage at Farmer Phils Festival in Shropshire bout 10yrs ago , what a very pleasznt man ❤
Was he on his roller skates
Where is the good days of this boys? Hawk wind night of the hawk wearing garbage bin lids ? damn i miss stacia.
If they catch you listening then they will lock you up in jail. You have been warned...but fuck it if you gonna risk it then play it loud ..
But if they catch you listening they lock you up in jail.................
C'mon,,how cool is Hew Lloyd Langton?
The video doesn't fit to the music. What we hear is the studio version with Lemmy on backing vocals
O I'm not sure you're right about that at all
No its not. Lemmy's voice is not on this!
that most defo is the boys on stage, I was at that gig it was awesome....

How can you say that? Nik's sax solo is perfect. Just kidding. Definitely not the same show.
But what is that on his head? And which member is that wearing it?
Its PPE
Nic has a hubcap around his neck.
Naturally..!
@@marxman00lol
🥲🤙🏿🤙🏿
drug'n'roll
This band invented anime
Could this performance be the reason why Brock sacked Nik?! All i know is that after this show nik was on his way!!

Scusate ma sembra di sentire la voce di lemmy
If you were around then it was a dark time for Hawkwind. Nik Turner sadly ruined it...
Jerusalem 1979 skeleton
Nik must of been the supplier ..cos carnt see why else they kept him around. ..unless he pays them to😵
They were such a great band, but a few years later they became crap, sad.
perhaps it was you
