What he thinks is a theremin is DikMik's audio generator. The punk movement was heavily influenced by Hawkwind as both Johnny Rotten and the Clash were big fans. Nearly all the bands he mentions came much later and were to a greater or lesser extent influenced by them. They were never hippies and really the only thing 'punk' about them was their attitude to pretty much everything especially the music press. It was recorded live with virtually NO studio overdubs. They had rehearsed this for many, many months before taking it on the road an dit gives lie to the belief then and now that they were a bunch of stumbling, bumbling stoned, untogether hippies. Totally professional.

Try their second album album " In search of Space " - The standout tracks are "You shouldn't do that," and "Master of the Universe". It is not Lemmy of Motorhead fame on bass this time though. Their first album "Hawkwind" is a bit patchy tbh, and their third album "Doremi Faso Latido" is a slightly mixed bag, but it has the wonderful Brainstorm on it. Space Ritual is by far their best work, and there are roughly similar live versions of it - Greasy Truckers Party, and Live at the BBC 1972. The BBC show is exceptionally weird, and a little "frightening" for want of a better word. The stereo version is on KZbin now. The other early album to look out for is "Warrior on the edge of time". It is more of a prog sound than the previous "grungy space punk stuff," but it is VERY entertaining and weird . The killer song for me is "Dying Seas", but Magnu is also excellent.

Dave Brock on guitar and vocals, Simon King on drums, Del Dettmar on synth, Dik Mik on audio sqibbly bits, Lemmy on bass, Nik Turner on sax and vocals and though not appearing on this track was Bob Calvert too, who did spoken word stuff and some vocals. There was also Stacia, the famously buxom and occasionally naked dancer and visual artist to help set the scene. Lots of pot, acid, speed and associated chemicals were part of the scene, a hugely influential but often overlooked band from back in the day.

Hah, guess you found twenty bucks _and_ a rabbithole! I knew you'd like them, but that was even more of a hit than I thought it would be - thanks for getting to the reaction so quick! This isn't even late 70s, it's 1972, and as someone else said, one of the best live albums ever IMO. Don't expect too much from the vocals; usually they're just part of the soundscape even in studio. A prime example is "(You) Shouldn't Do That", which is mainly that single line repeated over and over, often in time with the bassline with the "sh" emphasised. Sometimes it's not even words, so basically just another instrument. The exception is when they have literal poetry (spoken not sung). The woman on the cover is Miss Stacia, who danced as part of the show; also, Liquid Len, who did the lighting, got given a nod in the Genesis track "The Battle of Epping Forest" (which you already reacted to) as one of the gangsters! You probably know the bassist: Lemmy, later of from Motörhead. I usually have trouble making out the bass when there are electric guitars, so I'm very happy that he's so high in the mix. He later said he learned his craft while he was in Hawkwind. Enjoy your family time, and good luck getting home! When my mum was training as a nurse and visited her parents, she'd walk 4 or 5 miles to get there. When leaving they'd walk to the bus stop with her, so she'd get on the bus and ask for the cheapest ticket you could buy, then get off once she was out of sight and walk home again. She didn't want to worry them that she was struggling for money...

If you really want to get a feel for this band, you need to get a hold of the video "'Born to Go' -- Taken from 'Space Ritual', 1973" (released through Cherry Red Records): it's available for viewing on You Tube now. This is the best example of how the band was live during the years 1972-1975 (the time when they were the biggest single musical influence in my life). During this period, I went to four Hawkwind shows (a lot for a penniless American). Robert Calvert (guru to the astral plane) appeared on stage at one show; Michael Moorcock (the noted science fiction writer)appeared on stage at another. Lemmy was right in front of me at two shows (as in grab-your-leg close). More importantly, Stacia (their chief interpretive dancer) was right in front of me for much of one show (as in slap-your-bum close). That night she wore a thin leather belt, with two shorter belts attached to it, fore and aft. That was it for clothing. Her entire body was painted in day-glo and black light paint, with a plethora of colors used, and a LOT of attention given to detail (as in ALL details). Strangely, I still remember this show vividly, all these years later. Notes: Hawkwind was formed as a recording band in 1969; they're still with us (albeit with only one original member left -- he's 82). Stacia was actually 6'2" in her bare feet (I should know). I seem to remember her having "a bit" of a chest on her

This sprawling double live album acted as a testament to all things riff-laden and unutterably heavy. - The Rough Guide to Rock Sticking just to the 70's for now: In Search of Space (1971) is one of the greatest Space Rock albums EVER. "Stasis: The U.A. Years" and "Parallel Universe" collect essentials, including non-album cuts and whatnot, from this era. "Seven By Seven" is one of my favorites. Afterwards, "Warrior on the Edge of Time", "Quark, Strangeness and Charm", "PXR5", and "Live 79" are key albums. The conceptual "Warrior" features sci-fi/fantasy writer Michael Moorcock. The band's own mercurial visionary Robert Calvert is on the next two.

Yep, this is live. The band were out of their heads on drugs. The audience were out of their heads on drugs. Just imagine the blend of weird energies in the venue, and this recording was the result.

Now you know what Lemmy did before Motörhead. Hawkwind played outside the Isle if Wight festival the Hendrix played inside because they were champions of free festivals, they created an entire genre of music. Before them there was no space rock. They have been cited by numerous punk rockers as an influence and I'm even convinced that one of the songs by that awful untalented rabble the sex pistols, ripped off the riff from brainstorm and slowed it down - might have been Anarchy in UK. The Space Ritual was an experience as well as a great live performance cut to vinyl. Still one of my favourite albums.

No studio version of Born to Go has been released by Hawkwind... check out Monster Magnet's cover for that.

My first Hawkwind album was Doremi Fasol Latido, with time we left and lord of light and more great stuff I call the genre “heavy metal space punk”

Celebrating their 50th year in 2022, this is Born To Go still in their set and watch the spectacular light show. I managed a couple of shows on the tour and it was fantastic. Founder member Dave Brock is now 82 and I believe he was 79 on the tour. Legend. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH6qk42sirGDgNE&pp=ygUpSGF3a3dpbmQgbGl2ZSA1MHloIGFubml2ZXJzYXJ5IEJvcm4gVG8gR28%3D

If he thinks this is crazy someone should point him in the direction of Hawkwind's slightly earlier recoding of the BBC Radio In Concert cd specifically 'Brainstorm' half way through the concert. THAT is unbelievably wild.

This album is kinda like DSOM. You should listen to all the way through. In one of the Hawkwind books, there's story about when the cops would come it confiscate their recreational materials, the band would leave the stage and audio generator (synth) players DIKMIK and Del Dettmar stay and play "brown" noise to get to leave as quick as they could.

Hawkwind influenced so many bands, from the stoners such as Kyuss, Monster Magnet, QOTSA to crusty/alternative/punk with Ozric Tentacles, Crass, John Lydon is a Hawk fanatic, through to the dance guys Orbital and The Orb (admitted being major Hawk fans and have played with The Hawks). Hawkwind practically invented the rave/techno genre, they were doing that stuff way before it became ubiquitous (as did Steve Hillage/System 7/Gong), check out Choose Your Masques from the Live Chronicles album. Right up to Pulp's Jarvis Cocker (massive Hawkfan) and Kasabian (listen to the guitar work, so much Dave Brock in there) plus musician fans - Bruce Dickinson, Brian May, Peter Hook, Dave Wyndorf, Josh Homme......... Hawkwind deserve far more credit than they get, one of the most influential bands ever.

Other tracks by Hawkwind? Pick any at random from the first 5 albums (4 studio and live double). They are all 'out of this world'.
