66 me self. Government pension, free travel. Off to kilarney in June for a bike festival, then maybe out to the Islands again. I did my bit, 4 well adjusted kids all doing well, house all paid for. Just give me some weed, mushies good music, friendship, I'll go anywhere.
I saw Hawkwind as a young man of 18, and they changed my life forever. Finally, almost 50 years later, I got hearing aids and now I'm finding out what I've been missing since I saw them!
I agree...Isaw hawkwind in 1973, i was 14, and i saw Gong the year after...Those two concerts made me enter another universe beyond the usaual one...never stopped alternate living both ;+) hope you understand my french broken english! ;+)
I am 104 years old now, all five generations of my progeny acknowledge that Hawkwind is the pinnacle of music. I'm sitting here on my porch with my seventeen dogs and feeling young again. Thank you, Hawkwind, music can truly decimate the bounds of time and space. Brings back the good old days. I remember that one live concert in 974 like it was yesterday...
Heard this at my cousins house in 1971. (Up to then I'd only listened to the charts). On headphones. Loud. In a dark room lit only by a dull multicoloured garden lamp. My initial reaction was "what the fucks this?". Went out and bought it the day after. 45 years on and it was the first album I put on my home streaming system. If I was stuck on a decaying rotting mother ship in the astral void and I could have 1 album it would STILL be this. Nothing comes close.
Dont Make Em Like This Anymore.... Fabulous stuff... Your story mirrors mine... absolutely knocked out at 15 and still loving it 45 years on. Please have a listen to a band called The Wooden Shjips - more reminiscent of Pink Fairies than these guys & excellent live
My 28 year old daughter acknowledges Hawkwind and Neu as the godfathers of modern dance music. She also acknowledges that her old mans taste in music is fucking excellent!
I was 11 years old when this was released. My uncle was a hippy and introduced me to this band and I'm now 64 and never looked back... I believe a lot of tecno and house culture are influenced by this band..seen them 14 times.. Still love them
i agree...They were pioneers of techno, as Gong and a lot of german bands, like Can, Neu, and others....I saw them live in 1973, and it was hypnotical, impossible to resist the rythm...Same tempo than a lot of techno songs...
I've lost count how many times I've seen them, but I never really watched them on stage because I didn't stop dancing from the moment they played the first track. Nowadays listening to their 70s tracks takes me back to the sheer joy of dancing to them, back when I had the energy of youth.
My Soul mate introduced me to Hawkwind, almost 30 years ago now! My life has never been the same, for better or worse 😂 Sadly, cancer tore him from me (& our gorgeous three children), & into an early grave. Hawkwind, therefore, have special significance to us all, especially because their music helps fill in the blanks for my Son, who'll unfortunately, never know his Dad for the brilliant man he was! Thus, eternal gratitude for the legacy of Hawkwind! "Space is deep..." (Swallow me whole & let me sleep 😴) . ☮️
When I was turned on to Hawkwind I was 16. I sold a complete fish tank setup to this older dude. We smoked a joint and he jammed a Hawkwind album. It went hand in hand.
@johntricket8481 I first heard this tripping . I was in a high rise flat no curtains looking at a dark sky with the stars listening to this tripping away I was really out in deep space fantastic experience 😎
I can never speak to how cool that experience undoubtedly was, but I’d argue that it actually insults the music to say it’s the only way. I think their music is also great and totally transportive with zero drugs, as well.
I would in my humble opinion say this is the best ever Hawkwind track. Love the band and have done for a long time but this just lifts everything they've ever done to an extra special dimension. 15 minutes of sheer cosmic spaced out brilliantness that never fails to hit the spot.
I'm 18 and I discovered hawkwind through my love of early motorhead I hope other young people will get a chance to hear this too. It sounds so modern it's incredible.
I discovered them in the early 70s while in high school, via radio station promo copies at a local radio station. A couple of my friends worked at the station, as did I following high school. We had this album, as well as Doremi Fasol Latido and the live Space Ritual. I left the station to join the Navy, and heard/saw little to nothing of Hawkwind for years. A used album here and there. Then came CDs and reissues of everything under the sun. I now have around 46 albums on CD by Hawkwind. There is a LOT to explore in their catalog, and a lot of different styles with the number of personnel changes over the years (Dave Brock being the only consistent member). My original favorite song was Brainstorm, from the Doremi album, but now I tend to favor the Calvert era and particularly the work with/influenced by Michael Moorcock. I finally got to see them live in 1995, at a bar in Springfield, VA. And from what I've seen in some recent videos on here, they're still around and still working.
You know what's sad? I'm not sure there is one person in my life that would like their music. So sad. I'm a 63 old guy that has lived his entire life in OKC. Uh, that's Oklahoma. And, this music just connects with me. Most folks just don't get it. Man, if you're invested, it's a trip. You get no air. You get nowhere. You're getting aware. Holy crap! I'm trippin' again! And NO drugs! Well... I've had a couple of drinks 🍸.
@@matbreitling4838 I love hawkwind always have. I was born in 73. Yes I dabbled with Mushrooms and LSD but that's not the point. I've always loved the 60s and 70s, some fantastic bands. Gonna go off subject here, I can't stand Pink Floyd post Syd. They threw the bloke under the bus for personal gain. And used him has a scapegoat and let his mental health become blown up and exaggerated in the media. I think they are disgusting, you wouldn't want them to say they've got your back would ya? Anyway rant over Warrior's On The Edge Of Time 👍🏻
This remember me my first concert of Hawkwind, in 1973....with Stacia dancing naked on the stage in the middle of stroboscops, just before Hawkwind do their "Sonic attack" Ha Ha Haaaaaa 🤣🤣 NOBODY can imagine what's a SONIC ATTACK...You just have to try survive it and say it 50 years later on UA-cam.....
29th December 1972, Sundown Edmonton, Space Ritual tour, just turned 17, ex RAF greatcoat on, stank of dope, no one cared those days, best band and concert ever, with Stacia!
I keep saying it Robert introduced me to Hawkwind August 1972 and I have him to thank for that because I know he is a very special man and he is very kind and very caring and most of all compassionate 😊
Thanks for uploading this. You pumped some more life in this 71 years old heart. it's hard to believe that I'm really this old. My body is crapping out on me and my young heart is tired but, Am I really this old? I was 16 just a short time ago.
Keep going Douglas, keep going man, David Brock is 78 and still going strong and I'm going to see them in Manchester on their 50th anniversary tour! I'm 63, if I make it till I'm 71 it will be wonderful after the life Ive led, you are doing fine , I was 16 recently too.... I know I know .... but dont give in, we are immortal, remember that
I'm 45. Listening to Hawkwind since age of 17. As for getting old quick, I noticed Time flies faster for people who dont much like their job and cant wait to get home each day. So they 'tune out' until clock out time. 8-10 hours is a lot of time to be tuning out each day, and before you know it, yer old wondering where the time went. Find a job/career you enjoy doing, and your life will feel more enriched.
I was 10 years old when I got introduced to HAWKWIND astounding sounds amazing music, I have never stopped listening to them since I even got the chance to see them live in 97 I think, in a bar way over here in NZ, fucking outstanding as fuck!!
I was 15 years old when this came out. The first prog album I e er bought. I was instantly hooked and now 51 years later I have every Hawkwind studio album. Still my favorite Hawkwind track
Their best studio album, most of the albums from the 70s are fantastic, I'm of poor health and ended up in a nursing home, my brother sold all my Hawkwind and other precious albums without my permission, as you can guess this has really hurt me, I would never sell any of my records, now my brother doesn't come and see me or even speak to me, it's should be the other way round.
Honestly.No other band influenced and shook me as much as Hawkwind did,all those years ago with a coconut bong and all that follows after. Nobody has put me on a ceiling,looking down at myself apart from Hawkwind and acid...Thank God for Hawkwind.!!!!
Tripped at many gigs lol Wont lie - still do on rare occasions and I'm 62! Acid was one thing that made my head how it turned out. And glad its like it is. Tho Ive had a couple of mates I did a lot of acid over the years not so lucky. The minds a strange thing. sometimes when you unlock that door of perception you can't close it again. I leave my door ajar!
@@steevedaw566 EXCELLENT!! My inlaws are both in mid 80s. Known them 46 years. dad is a single malt collector and 2 or 3 glaases a night but when he had some health issues the quack said he had to cut it out. I got them both smoking weed. Got them sorted with vapes and always make sure hes got supplies. Ive taken them n hols to India/Thailand and had them taking shrooms and half a E each and theyve loved it all. So open minded. And they know Id never hive them anything that would hurt them or couldn't handle. Got a passed away mates dad wgo is still quite a high up,respected Barrister in London who has had a heroin habit since the mid 60s knocking about with all the musicians etc at the time. Hes had a script from the same private Dr ever since. Hes never missed a days work and has a great family and lifestyle. It just goes to show that IF peeps have clean,regular heroin or ANY addictive substance its possible to carry on with a normal productive life.
Watched a vintage episode of "Callan" yesterday and during one scene, this brilliant track was playing loudly in the background ! It was incredibly rare to have any contemporary rock music in British tv programmes of the early 70s, so this was very subversive indeed. "In Search Of Space " was the first Hawkwind album I bought. I also recognised the late Richard Morant who acted memorably as the vicious Flashman in "Tom Brown's Schooldays", and was Callan's adversary during this scene.
I actually remember seeing that at the time, was thinking of it recently for some reason, but couldn't remember which TV show it was, I thought it might have been Special Branch, so thanks for clearing that up! Callan was the best thriller anyway, Mr Woodward peaked in that show in my opinion
I remember sitting on a bedroom floor, in the dark, listening to this whilst staring at the pretty little illuminated bars on the graphic equalizer on my stereo, wearing a huge set of headphones. I wasn't smoking anything, just a beer or three. Awesome. wooo... pretty lights....... R.I.P Nik Turner on Sax .
This track started me on an electronic journey once I started to earn enough money to buy a synth or two in 1977. Dik Mik and Dell were heroes of mine and I always wanted try to emulate their experimentation with electronics. Roll on to today, I have a synth at the age of 63 that gets close to the sounds in this track and my main hero Dik Miks sound. Will I ever find that subtle electronic dream?
14 y.old when I bought this album. So much ahead of its time! Listen to «We took the wrong step years ago» and tell me about what's happening now, april 1st 2020...
Came home trippin’ hard in ‘71. Turned on the local underground FM station and heard this. “ shouldn’t do that, shouldn’t do that..” and my mind is answering “yes I know, yes I know…” and how did the DJ at WZMF know I was tripping? And why was he trying to freak me out? The next song was Alice Cooper - Ballad Of Dwight Fry. “I gotta get out of here.. I gotta get out of here.. I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!!” I nearly lost it. That weekend I bought both albums and dropped again.
Lovely to hear all your experiences of hawkwind I am a lifelong fan ,I like to think man and boy! First hearing quark on my first smiley mushroom tab on a magical summer night on smithwood Common at the tender age of 13.I am not advocating the use of drugs and anyone with sense knows the score! Big respect to space ship Hawkwind and all you wonderfully Hawkies every where !😊
First music of this kind i ever heard, 44 years ago. blew me out of my socks then and still does it now. washing machine music, my kids used to call it. absolutely brilliant anti establishment sonic attack. fantastic.
@@larspeterson8720W used to sing I've got a washing machine at the Hawkwind gigs to Silver machine when they played Ipswich Gaumont, so much so that Hw started singing it too.
My youth in one track and one album. Saw them many times, always tripping. Pink Fairies often on the bill, Twink sometimes standing in for Terry ‘Boris’ Ollis if he was passed out from mandrax, before Simon replaced him. Hawkwind one of the most influential and underrated bands of all time.
I saw them twice at St Andrew's Hall in the early 70s as well. What an impact on a teenager. I remembered one of the roadies lighting up masses of joss sticks with a blow torch and handing them round just before they started,let alone Stacia dancing 😁
Sadly I missed the Space Ritual but saw Hawkwind for the first time at St Andrews Hall for the 1999 party tour. Stood next to Nik Turner while the support band were on.
Saw Hawkwind do Space Ritual live back in the day. Quite a thing. Never really been same since...Stacia /dry ice and "Silver Machine" really did turn my young head! Brainstorm etc..
Great track that reminds me of Brainstorm in a way - btw the booklet that came with the original album was also a treat...much liked the fold out album covers too.Thanks for uploading this one
We took the wrong step years ago! Still have my original vinyl album, complete with Captains Log, in original blue inner sleeve and fold out album cover.
I've still got the original fold-out sleeve version of this 1st Hawkwind 1970 album, now held together with sellotape but what can you expect after 50 YEARS, SHIT! I did my 1st acid trip to this track in a biker/hippie DJ-gig pub in south London, if you're doing mushrooms (now Nov. 2021) I strongly recommend it! 😂. Thanks for going to the trouble of posting this full length version 👍 This album also includes the original "Master of the Universe" on the 'B-side', great if anyone could add that. "Shouldn't do That" appears in a scene in an episode from the 1970's ITV series "Callan" about an asassination squad starring Edward Woodward (the Police Sergeant in "The Wicker Man"). Sad that there's been no new music (in my view) since Prodigy began in 1990, since Madonna everything's been autotune, nicked (shared) or, I'm sad to say, even 'live' rock being fed from the mixing desk (as with Foo Fighters) to back up what bands can't manage live. Motorhead was fully live & I remember a gig at Hammersmith 'Odeon' when Phil Taylor (drums) & Lemmy started playing a different piece to Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) & nobody realised until the chorus, that was hilarious for both the band & the crowd. Hawkwind did this quite often but who cared, both the band & crowd were on acid (or drug of pleasure) we just enjoyed it, plus the gorgeous, huge-titted Stacia dancing naked in front of the band, until she ran off & settled down with Dik Mik (electronics) ~ lucky old Dik (there may be something in the name?😂). Now everything HAS to be digitally "perfect" although the beauty of music comes from the imperfection of different musicians playing the same composition live, in their own style & Hawkwind were certainly no exception to this 😂. We're never gonna see this musicianship & originality again &, being an old git, I can say young people have sadly been robbed of this experience, singular characters like Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, experimenters like Bowie & politicos like Roger Waters, Neil Young & Johnny (Rotten) Lydon aren't being replaced. Looks like all future music will be tailor-made "for us" by apps driven by servers!

I always and still do, get hawkwind WITHOUT the need for drugs, loved them since 1974, there will come a day when the music industry acknowledges them as one of the greatest bands ever, a cult, innovative, genre leading, massive influence on the music scene band, more so than their commercially successful counterparts
Check out Joe Bank's magnificent book on the Hawks: "Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground". It is a brilliant overview of their career from 1970 -80. He has rightly placed Hawkwind's importance as one of the greatest rock groups of all time. Beg, steal or borrow. You need to own a copy.
My first time on a plane I brought my Walkman and started this track as the plane was taxing onto the run way (yes, I planned this way ahead of time). It was pretty amazing. It really couldn't have synced up any better and the roar of the plane taking off fused w the cacophony of the mighty Hawkwind perfectly. I must have looked ridiculous, some long hair w his eyes closed and a smile on his face 😌 and my petite gf sitting next to me, squeezing my hand with clenched teeth 😬. Good stuff. "This is your captain speaking....your captain is dead"
Haha! I did the exact same thing to Silver Machine years ago. Managed to get through the whole track (and take off) before it was noticed and was told to switch off all electric appliances.... Great experience!
you should do that, you shouldn't do that, you try so hard to get somewhere, they push you round, they cut your hair, you want to be free, they just don't care ... superb
Lemmy used to played bass guitar for Hawkwind seen them '74 blowaway the crowd I'm sure we were all dropping Acid , now I can remember parts of it and only when Listen one of tune ! Hey the '70 was awesome sorry if you weren't , you missed out !
Bought the out of the $1 rack in the 70's. The music is way ahead of it's time. The album cover is one of the best I've ever seen. The cut outs that fold out are just fantastic. This is the start of head music lol. Enjoy 😳🤪🤯
December 1972. I was at this concert age 18. iv'e been to a lot of hawkwind concerts over the years and in my opinion the space ritual was the best, dirty, trippy and fucking heavy
I'm now 73yrs old .....age is only time...and I could drift through time listening to this ....and never age....
a old pyschedelic warrior disapears in smoke!! far out veyhito!!
66 me self. Government pension, free travel. Off to kilarney in June for a bike festival, then maybe out to the Islands again. I did my bit, 4 well adjusted kids all doing well, house all paid for. Just give me some weed, mushies good music, friendship, I'll go anywhere.

I'm 54 now
Love this. It's brilliant. Rediscovered them this year after 30 years Now can't get enough
I’m now nearly 75 and first got initiated into this in 1971 while high on LSD …the only way to truly appreciate what it was all about…
@johntricket8481 I first heard this tripping . I was in a high rise flat no curtains looking at a dark sky with the stars listening to this tripping away I was really out in deep space fantastic experience 😎
Ps. I’m 75 this year and would do it all again , in fact get me some really good acid and I would do it now , 😎
Funny - I liked Hawkwind, and I liked acid - but for me, they just never worked together.
I can never speak to how cool that experience undoubtedly was, but I’d argue that it actually insults the music to say it’s the only way. I think their music is also great and totally transportive with zero drugs, as well.
Acid and Hawkwind go hand in hand
I would in my humble opinion say this is the best ever Hawkwind track. Love the band and have done for a long time but this just lifts everything they've ever done to an extra special dimension. 15 minutes of sheer cosmic spaced out brilliantness that never fails to hit the spot.
It's just... oohhh! So good!
Yes! Another tab please!
Synth work is remarkable and i dont miss anything audio wise on this recording. This has been in my collection since day one it was released.
Agreed
Maybe but Brainstorm ?
RIP Nick... space is dark and is so endless... big love on you're cosmic travels trekker!
I'm 74 still loving it!!!
The best spacerock band of all time
One of my first album purchases. Just drawn my OAP this week but still loving this sound. Nothing surpasses Hawkwind in this Genre of music.
Hawkwind INVENTED this genre (Space Rock)!
Rest In peace Dik Mik. The sounds on these early lps are epic! And Mik brought a bass player we all know well, into the band!
I'm 18 and I discovered hawkwind through my love of early motorhead
I hope other young people will get a chance to hear this too. It sounds so modern it's incredible.
Keep digging kid it only gets better
You're going to love their first album

I'm 63, if I make it till I'm 71 it will be wonderful after the life Ive led, you are doing fine , I was 16 recently too.... I know I know .... but dont give in, we are immortal, remember that
I'm 52,last week I was 18,for sure.
yeah, well time is weird , im 54 but feel the same........ah its all an illusion anyway....take it easy mate!
I'm 45. Listening to Hawkwind since age of 17. As for getting old quick, I noticed Time flies faster for people who dont much like their job and cant wait to get home each day. So they 'tune out' until clock out time. 8-10 hours is a lot of time to be tuning out each day, and before you know it, yer old wondering where the time went. Find a job/career you enjoy doing, and your life will feel more enriched.
Hawkwind per sempre (forever)
I was 10 years old when I got introduced to HAWKWIND astounding sounds amazing music, I have never stopped listening to them since I even got the chance to see them live in 97 I think, in a bar way over here in NZ, fucking outstanding as fuck!!
Can't believe this is over 40 years old. First album I ever bought as a 13 year old. Way ahead of its time then and now.
+Simon C I was 19 and still belt out the LP'S. it annoys the shit out of most of my neighbours (love it)
+Laurie Aylmore - so, you're nearly 60 and still annoying your neighbors??? lol
Yeah man there a million bands right now who wish they sounded like this
I'm nearly 64 and blare it out the stereo.think I anoy the drivers next to me, especially if they are using their phone.😀😁😉
Snap.
I was 15 years old when this came out. The first prog album I e er bought. I was instantly hooked and now 51 years later I have every Hawkwind studio album. Still my favorite Hawkwind track
Their best studio album, most of the albums from the 70s are fantastic, I'm of poor health and ended up in a nursing home, my brother sold all my Hawkwind and other precious albums without my permission, as you can guess this has really hurt me, I would never sell any of my records, now my brother doesn't come and see me or even speak to me, it's should be the other way round.
Whatta track ,R.I.P Nik Turner and thanks for the music xx
Now this is what we call… space music
Right now, where I sit, a thunder storm is becoming part of Hawkwind. Amazing.
Powerful, propulsive, futuristically universal, and in a way, aboriginal. Magic fucking stuff. All others learn from this genius.
You shouldn't never forget the intro to this wonderful only real space rock adventure ever made. Since then my life is Hawkwind.
Yes! How old are you? Just wondering. I'm a 63 year old born and bred OKC guy. This music is way under-appreciated compared to the other great bands.
You should give the Ozric Tentacles a go, Try Strangeitude as a gateway album.
Blimey, I'd forgotten how much I liked this. I felt like I was 18 at a festival, brilliant.
Honestly.No other band influenced and shook me as much as Hawkwind did,all those years ago with a coconut bong and all that follows after. Nobody has put me on a ceiling,looking down at myself apart from Hawkwind and acid...Thank God for Hawkwind.!!!!
Tripped at many gigs lol Wont lie - still do on rare occasions and I'm 62! Acid was one thing that made my head how it turned out. And glad its like it is. Tho Ive had a couple of mates I did a lot of acid over the years not so lucky. The minds a strange thing. sometimes when you unlock that door of perception you can't close it again. I leave my door ajar!
Glad you're keeping it going. I have friend's in their 70's now,who still trip.!😁😁😁
@@steevedaw566 EXCELLENT!! My inlaws are both in mid 80s. Known them 46 years. dad is a single malt collector and 2 or 3 glaases a night but when he had some health issues the quack said he had to cut it out. I got them both smoking weed. Got them sorted with vapes and always make sure hes got supplies. Ive taken them n hols to India/Thailand and had them taking shrooms and half a E each and theyve loved it all. So open minded. And they know Id never hive them anything that would hurt them or couldn't handle. Got a passed away mates dad wgo is still quite a high up,respected Barrister in London who has had a heroin habit since the mid 60s knocking about with all the musicians etc at the time. Hes had a script from the same private Dr ever since. Hes never missed a days work and has a great family and lifestyle. It just goes to show that IF peeps have clean,regular heroin or ANY addictive substance its possible to carry on with a normal productive life.
The rockiest and rolliest of them all!
This has to be one of the all-time great album openers.
it's one of the best piece of music i have Ever heard in my life. and i've heard Alot of pieces of music.
Watched a vintage episode of "Callan" yesterday and during one scene, this brilliant track
was playing loudly in the background ! It was incredibly rare to have any contemporary rock music in British tv programmes of the early 70s, so this was very subversive indeed.
"In Search Of Space " was the first Hawkwind album I bought.
I also recognised the late Richard Morant who acted memorably as the vicious Flashman in "Tom Brown's Schooldays", and was Callan's adversary during this scene.
Yeah, I've seen that, "Turn that ridiculous music off!" ha ha.
I actually remember seeing that at the time, was thinking of it recently for some reason, but couldn't remember which TV show it was, I thought it might have been Special Branch, so thanks for clearing that up! Callan was the best thriller anyway, Mr Woodward peaked in that show in my opinion
@@vicwyatt7671 Totally agree with you,
"Callan" was utterly fantastic, I just watched a DVD about
the origins of the show. Cold War brilliance.
Been listening to this for nearly 40 years. Dtill remember the first time I heard it. Still has something about it undefinable. ...
Tripped-out to this album in 72 as a h.s. freshman..Had original album (the cover opened & folded out)..'Windowpane' material for sure !
I remember sitting on a bedroom floor, in the dark, listening to this whilst staring at the pretty little illuminated bars on the graphic equalizer on my stereo, wearing a huge set of headphones. I wasn't smoking anything, just a beer or three. Awesome. wooo... pretty lights....... R.I.P Nik Turner on Sax .
This track started me on an electronic journey once I started to earn enough money to buy a synth or two in 1977. Dik Mik and Dell were heroes of mine and I always wanted try to emulate their experimentation with electronics. Roll on to today, I have a synth at the age of 63 that gets close to the sounds in this track and my main hero Dik Miks sound. Will I ever find that subtle electronic dream?
This takes me right back to my first ever live concert at Glasgow City Hall 1971. Still a huge fan. Unsurpassed.
Tries turning this song off…
Hawkwind: “shouldn’t do that!”
14 y.old when I bought this album. So much ahead of its time! Listen to «We took the wrong step years ago» and tell me about what's happening now, april 1st 2020...
This is a five star amazing track....brilliant in every way....so unique....so amazing
best thing i've ever heard. and i've heard a lot
Came home trippin’ hard in ‘71. Turned on the local underground FM station and heard this. “ shouldn’t do that, shouldn’t do that..” and my mind is answering “yes I know, yes I know…” and how did the DJ at WZMF know I was tripping? And why was he trying to freak me out? The next song was Alice Cooper - Ballad Of Dwight Fry. “I gotta get out of here.. I gotta get out of here.. I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!!” I nearly lost it. That weekend I bought both albums and dropped again.
Still have the album. Never tirer of it, 50 years later 😉💜💜
Lovely to hear all your experiences of hawkwind I am a lifelong fan ,I like to think man and boy! First hearing quark on my first smiley mushroom tab on a magical summer night on smithwood Common at the tender age of 13.I am not advocating the use of drugs and anyone with sense knows the score! Big respect to space ship Hawkwind and all you wonderfully Hawkies every where !😊
First music of this kind i ever heard, 44 years ago. blew me out of my socks then and still does it now. washing machine music, my kids used to call it. absolutely brilliant anti establishment sonic attack. fantastic.
Washing machine? Far out
@@larspeterson8720W used to sing I've got a washing machine at the Hawkwind gigs to Silver machine when they played Ipswich Gaumont, so much so that Hw started singing it too.
@@jamjar142 love it 😂😁
My kids call Hawkwind old ladies singing with hoover sounds
My friend and I would do buckets and listen to this and it slowed down so much that we could take a break between notes. Great times
I used to play this album and do my homework in the 80's, i was very fortunate to have a great step-dad who had the best record collection. Good times
My youth in one track and one album.
Saw them many times, always tripping.
Pink Fairies often on the bill, Twink sometimes standing in for Terry ‘Boris’ Ollis if he was passed out from mandrax, before Simon replaced him.
Hawkwind one of the most influential and underrated bands of all time.
I love this album thanks for uploading...Peace
Excelente música Rock Progresivo (Krautrock)sonido original los escucho desde a fines de los sesentas, gracias por compartir !!!!!!!!
Hawkwind is what punks were into before punk was invented
Saw Hawkwind at St Andrews Hall in Norwich about 1972 and a few more times after that. Great days then! And made brilliant albums!
I saw them twice at St Andrew's Hall in the early 70s as well. What an impact on a teenager. I remembered one of the roadies lighting up masses of joss sticks with a blow torch and handing them round just before they started,let alone Stacia dancing 😁
Sadly I missed the Space Ritual but saw Hawkwind for the first time at St Andrews Hall for the 1999 party tour. Stood next to Nik Turner while the support band were on.
Great ! - The Sound of the free world. I I grew up with this Golden age of Rock Music.
Getting treatment for head and neck cancer, Hawkwind requested 35 radiation therapy Playlist.
This was my first Hawkwind album bought secondhand back in circa 1975 and I still have it!
Do you have the Hawkwind log that came with it? I'm willing to to to $300 if you want to sell it.
Thanks kindly but I think I'll hang onto it.@@daveapple205
Saw Hawkwind do Space Ritual live back in the day. Quite a thing. Never really been same since...Stacia /dry ice and "Silver Machine" really did turn my young head! Brainstorm etc..
Love Hawkwind they are out there way bfore our time❤
Great track that reminds me of Brainstorm in a way - btw the booklet that came with the original album was also a treat...much liked the fold out album covers too.Thanks for uploading this one
We took the wrong step years ago! Still have my original vinyl album, complete with Captains Log, in original blue inner sleeve and fold out album cover.
Brilliant tune, thanks for posting it.
I've still got the original fold-out sleeve version of this 1st Hawkwind 1970 album, now held together with sellotape but what can you expect after 50 YEARS, SHIT!
I did my 1st acid trip to this track in a biker/hippie DJ-gig pub in south London, if you're doing mushrooms (now Nov. 2021) I strongly recommend it! 😂.
Thanks for going to the trouble of posting this full length version 👍
This album also includes the original "Master of the Universe" on the 'B-side', great if anyone could add that. "Shouldn't do That" appears in a scene in an episode from the 1970's ITV series "Callan" about an asassination squad starring Edward Woodward (the Police Sergeant in "The Wicker Man").
Sad that there's been no new music (in my view) since Prodigy began in 1990, since Madonna everything's been autotune, nicked (shared) or, I'm sad to say, even 'live' rock being fed from the mixing desk (as with Foo Fighters) to back up what bands can't manage live. Motorhead was fully live & I remember a gig at Hammersmith 'Odeon' when Phil Taylor (drums) & Lemmy started playing a different piece to Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) & nobody realised until the chorus, that was hilarious for both the band & the crowd. Hawkwind did this quite often but who cared, both the band & crowd were on acid (or drug of pleasure) we just enjoyed it, plus the gorgeous, huge-titted Stacia dancing naked in front of the band, until she ran off & settled down with Dik Mik (electronics) ~ lucky old Dik (there may be something in the name?😂). Now everything HAS to be digitally "perfect" although the beauty of music comes from the imperfection of different musicians playing the same composition live, in their own style & Hawkwind were certainly no exception to this 😂.
We're never gonna see this musicianship & originality again &, being an old git, I can say young people have sadly been robbed of this experience, singular characters like Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, experimenters like Bowie & politicos like Roger Waters, Neil Young & Johnny (Rotten) Lydon aren't being replaced. Looks like all future music will be tailor-made "for us" by apps driven by servers!
Awesome!! Legend and genius...Hawkwind forever!!! The best and greatest psychedelic space rock band of always...phenomenal!!! Enzo57Italy

Proper Hawkwind...beautiful.
First time i'm hearing this song in 40 years .. orange sunshine made this song a part of me .. thanks for the memories..
orange sunshine might have been a part of making the song!
Orange sunshine was like heaven......oh how I wish I had a few tabs of it......
@@iancrickmer6884 needed toooooo!!!!!??
The best Hawkwind track ever imo, a classic.
Yes what can i say just take it in
i was not expecting to have gone through what i have just actually gone through. wow. he's right, though... shouldn't do that
I always and still do, get hawkwind WITHOUT the need for drugs, loved them since 1974, there will come a day when the music industry acknowledges them as one of the greatest bands ever, a cult, innovative, genre leading, massive influence on the music scene band, more so than their commercially successful counterparts
Check out Joe Bank's magnificent book on the Hawks: "Hawkwind: Days Of The Underground". It is a brilliant overview of their
career from 1970 -80. He has rightly placed Hawkwind's importance as one of the greatest rock groups of all time.
Beg, steal or borrow. You need to own a copy.
Yes. There is no need for drugs. The music is the drug.
Tripped out to these guys in the 80's, Superman tabs fkin awesome. Take me back pleaaaase!
The fuckin hawks, I just love them.💭💭💭💭💭💭❤💭💭
i still have this album and hall of the mt, grill but no turn table oh well now can enjoy again
My first time on a plane I brought my Walkman and started this track as the plane was taxing onto the run way (yes, I planned this way ahead of time). It was pretty amazing. It really couldn't have synced up any better and the roar of the plane taking off fused w the cacophony of the mighty Hawkwind perfectly. I must have looked ridiculous, some long hair w his eyes closed and a smile on his face 😌 and my petite gf sitting next to me, squeezing my hand with clenched teeth 😬. Good stuff.
"This is your captain speaking....your captain is dead"
Haha! I did the exact same thing to Silver Machine years ago. Managed to get through the whole track (and take off) before it was noticed and was told to switch off all electric appliances.... Great experience!
Brainstorm should have been the track, around about 45 minutes after you'd dropped the 'shrooms.
Brilliant nothing else to say
For me best psychadelic live acts of all time
CREAM AND HAWKWIND
Shouldn't Do That
Spoonful live at the LA Forum
We all know it is one of the best tracks ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hell YEAH 🤣🤣
i do Now.
their masterpiece
I've seen Hawkind live in 1973 in a park in Roma. Great journey into the deep space
Still young Bro, keep rocking 🤘🥃
Spacey rocky trippy majesty nobody does it like Hawkwind did
Yeah man 104 nice one mate bin watching hawkwind a few times
It's sad that we're in the minority. Most people haven't even heard of Hawkwind. I'm doing my best to spread the word.
I'm 64 acid shrooms and puff and i'm still here saw them so many times but Camden Roundhouse will always bring back so many memories
you should do that, you shouldn't do that, you try so hard to get somewhere, they push you round, they cut your hair, you want to be free, they just don't care ... superb
And the alburm in too the woods, and " The hills have ears" ❤
this is your captain speaking, your captain is dead
technicians of space ship earth....
Like theBBC set.'This is London Earth,This is London Earth....'
Saw them live in 1974 ....they had a group I never heard of b4 open.the show ....Rush
Can you remember the venue?
When I saw Rush AC/DC opened.
HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL 74 PALACE THEATRE MANCHESTER. BLACK MICRO-DOT. CARL BRANDON OV ROCHDALE.
I had my first whitey at a Rush concert, 1980 in Edinburgh. I was 14 at the time,
Used to be my foreplay music......back in the day.
Lemmy used to played bass guitar for Hawkwind seen them '74 blowaway the crowd I'm sure we were all dropping Acid , now I can remember parts of it and only when Listen one of tune ! Hey the '70 was awesome sorry if you weren't , you missed out !
Epic tune which worked well in LIFE ON MARS too.
Bought the out of the $1 rack in the 70's. The music is way ahead of it's time. The album cover is one of the best I've ever seen. The cut outs that fold out are just fantastic. This is the start of head music lol. Enjoy 😳🤪🤯
Its not Lemmy on bass, its Dave Anderson who after this LP joined Amon Duul II.
Dark Peaks You are totally correct. XISOS was Dave Anderson. Lemmy’s ‘version’ was on the Space Ritual II recording from the 1973 tour.
December 1972. I was at this concert age 18. iv'e been to a lot of hawkwind concerts over the years and in my opinion the space ritual was the best, dirty, trippy and fucking heavy
me too 18 - saw them at Edmonton Sundown new years eve - claasic, with Stacia too that night
@@eventsmorewithchrisg wow!
Amon Düül
