This track was on the first album and made such a impression on me I had to buy a 12 string way back then it since deceased but on it also I lernt to tune it to indian E as well I was at IOW 70 .....
What a band always true to themselves and formed thier own path. AND I get to see them ay beautiful days festival devon this August with van der graaf generator. Now theres a night out
50 years? I remember it longer, Dave Brock and his Ten Years After tribute band playing at Chiswick Town Hall (67 I think) were blown out of the water by a bunch of buskers, who didn't want fame but got their hands on some electric equipment (courtesy of Janis Joplin) for the night. What they played (Terry was on drums throughout and Mick couldn't help but join in) was Chuck Berry meets Moroccan trance with an Indian raga thrown in. I've never heard anything like it before nor since. The gig was so out of this world, the caretaker levitated and spun like a catherine wheel. Brock and the original band rehearsed in the RCA for all of one Summer to try and reproduce what happened that night. Never happened, to my knowledge, from the gigs, videos and albums I've heard from Hawkwind or any other band . . . . couldn't be done.
~ how could u not like - the first time I heard the intro on some twelve inch vinyl about 99yrs ago : I was hooked to this tune . Top hundred fave tunes shortlist ha ha : - no such thing ; top 10,000 prob closer* It's up there tho
Is this going to be available on DVD? I can't imagine Hawkwind wouldn't document their 50th Anniversary Tour without filming it for eventual DVD release!
Clearly not the film for this song. Dave and Marting singing with no vocals heard or vocals when no one near a mic. At least make an attempt to sync the bloody thing properly.
If they don’t play this at my funeral… I’m not going!!
Well Said !
I once jammed this with Huw at a pub gig. What a gent. RIP.
They finished with this when I saw them on Friday night(20/08/21)
Thoroughly excellent!

Brilliant night, one of my best Hawkwind gigs and the first one I got to take my son to. Cant wait for more gigs.

Good grief are Hawkwind still playing this live?
I'm suprised that anyone can still remember the lyrics after all these years, must be at 50 🤔🙂
Actually, not a bad version ,kind of ballady , weird sound. ,but catchy, but not a patch on original with legend Lemmy ! Passable!
