Hawkwind • Live (1990)

Thank God for Hawkwind!

And I do 😎👍

Hawkwind, it is and always will be! Stay high, Stay free, 👍👍👍👊✌️🌍.

Watched this last week with Harvey Bainbridge. He had not seen it, ever and loved it!

[@SteveStevens-sp7ly]

nice, love it myself.

[@patrickthornton5013]

The Golden Void is the greatest piece of classical music ( space rock) ever written and performed on this planet ( I believe they were practicing on another). Eat your hearts out all the orchestras of the world. I'll be going out of this planet playing that at the service. I can't wait.

[@manuelgomes1569]

Nothing beats The Golden Void. The first time I heard it, I was floored, Dave's power chords, Lemmy grooving effortlessly, the beauty of Simon's violin and that sax tone from Nik is pure psychedelic bliss and a joyful sense of infinite time. And the highest note ever recorded on a VCS-3! This version almost equals the original, in one the best post-classical lineups of the Hawks.

[@jjdtierney]

Just WoW! Bridget Wishart is amazing. What a wonderful performance from her. She's so anti-glamour yet also adds so much complex beauty with her vocals and performance art. Timeless band. Hawkwind are definitely one of the best ever.

[@Lena-di2ln]

Agreed. Too many people dislike Bridget for no reason

[@edmaenhout9184]

@@Lena-di2ln She indeed performs and sings well. I never saw her live I regret to say. I fantasize seeing this Poly Sterene or Pauline Murray of Penetration in her place. Bridget resembles Pauline Murray best I think in this fantasy of mine..

I love this show is it just SOOOOO GOOODD!!!!! I did not really know much about this band until I watched and listened to an interview with Lemmy. It opened up a whole new world of some of the most fantastic prog music I did not even know existed !! Thnx to the guys and girls from Hawkwind for many years of great music and shows.

first time I saw this video of hawkwind it blew me away great music.

A legendary band. Not many bands can make you feel so uplifted and happy

[@xlr8rx641]

I come back to this over and over, just to hear Simon's violin.

[@tonybeards9153]

Hadn’t seen this since it was first shown on channel four all those years ago. Brilliant piece of rock history. It’s now on my playlist 👍☝️

[@Premortem-e2m]

Had no idea it was ever aired on tv!

magic from start to finish.

[@davidaskew1564]

Best Version of the Golden Void I have seen and or heard of, Simon House yer man!

[@antonhaq3503]

David Askew Check out the version on Canterbury Fayre, Simon's there. It's a magnificent live album and many tracks I feel are the best live versions. May just be my favourite live album, either that or Spaced Out In London.

[@samissomar]

Great Cosmic Live Show...Masters !...

[@msjoanofthearc]

One of the best HW line-ups!

[@Spacerocker-u7n]

The "Masters of the Universe" came "Out of theShadows" and became the "Lords of Light" and will never be put "Back in the Box". I started listening at age 14. I'm now 65 and still riding the good ship HAWKWIND.

[@matthewcoombs3282]

Saw the band loads accross the UK during the mid 80s to early 90s....happy times. At the end of the UK festival scene in the 80s Hawkwind were a staple with the Ozrics, Magic Mushroom Band, Here and Now and Culture Shock......

I saw them in 1993 at the Limelight NY. They Absolutely Blew Me Away🎆🎶🌌🎶

[@OUTRONAUT]

What a lineup! Simon!! 🎻

[@colroper3973]

My Favorite band still listen to the 1st album it gets better everytime

[@twombley]

Groundbreaking - and the next 7 albums or so. Then they went on space rock autopilot, murdering great tracks like this...And they're on about album 42 of regurgitated drivel. What a shame. They were great in the 70s but when Dave Brock became Hitler and got rid of everyone who didn't conform they ended up sounding like a (poor) tribute band. Nik Turner's bands have that edge...Hawkwind should be my fave band, and if they'd stopped after Church of Hawkwind they would be.

[@railwaystationmaster]

TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME , TOTALLY !

[@kestrel571]

Memories !!

[@Zopf-international]

Always nice to see Alan and Brocky laughing.

[@peterduran9987]

I first saw them in the 80's doing the Levitation tour, at Reading top rank, I saw them about twelve times, but by the mid 90's went off them, I would have loved to have seen them in the early 70's and later during the Hawklords time, with Bob Calvert. I think I have seen Nick Turner just as many times with inner city unit, and the all stars. Great seeing the comments on here, I don't encounter many Hawkwind fans.

[@HAWKWIND8967]

This was round about the time when I got into them. One of the nations hidden gems. I bloody love the hawks I do.

[@robinhuiban8351]

So wonderfull vibes !!!

[@antonhaq3503]

This was around the time I thought Hawkwind were loosing the plot, Simon House's brilliant musicianship holds it all together.(Since this came out it's grown on me more and more, I love it now)

I will never forget simon and hawkwind in folkestone lees cliff hall in the late 80's when huw lloyd had to stand down due to injury and simon took his place. Played riff for riff on violin. Never heard anything so magical in my life

[@papas_lapas]

Opening track.....Best version ever.

[@Sinaisid]

Brilliant - Brings back memories of one of the first Hawkwind concerts I saw. Cardiff castle in the mid 70's!! what the hell I wasted the next 5 years with punk! (Stranglers at the Top Rank-duuuh) never mind I finally saw the light!!

Same here, there were some dodgy 90s albums but I always come back to Hawkwind and live, they are magnificent.

[@Piwemol]

Great band. I was lucky enough to see them when I was a teen in Paris, in 1975 I believe. A great show ! A real band that can play !

[@sickparrot3]

I think I just found my new go-to video when I need to demonstrate to someone {durr aren't they that silver machine band herp derp} just how powerful and musical Hawkwind can be.

[@permaveg]

I've been listening, only ,to this while answering E-mails, fucking hell that was hard as this music was so enjoyably distracting , Hawkwind despite the line up changes the spirit lives on, great stuff indeed, there really is no one else like them in our universe.

[@SquarerBob]

First saw this back in the 1990's channel hopping to Channel4 with my mate Grant. We were both on acid at the time. I'll never forget that evening. I've seen Hawkwind live 3 times but I think this remains my favourite Hawkwind experience. At 34:00 particularly sticks in my mind from that tripppppp. "The lid, the lid it comes off!"

[@neldcammock5123]

Lid less in a big box , lol

[@richarddixon7276]

I have been lucky enough to see them live on at least eight occasions , each time I could have sworn that it was the best concert I'd ever been too . The energy and enthusiasm during their performances is has infectious as their music is enchanting , and rivaled only by Angus Young for his ability to maintain a constant high energy performance . Hawkwind are Masters of the Musicverse .

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

[@stefanofocacci]

The first time I went to scotland I climbed Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat and, once on the topo, I listened to "Palace Springs" at sensurround volume with my Walkman (hey, it was long, long ago... ). It was a wonderful experience, albeit had on a natural high...

[@Khaywolf]

The only time i saw them live it was the Xenon Codex tour. It was amazing, but it was in a place so small their slideshow could not fit on a wall so part of it showed up on the ceiling, greatly warped.

[@Khaywolf]

still that meant i was seated only about 12 feet from them. Amazing!

[@RossTastic100]

The great moment when assault and battery melts into golden void , magic 👍

[@dasdadog1]

Listening after the UK exit from the EU. As long as there is always Hawkwind all will be alright in the Universe. I absolutely love everything about this video...Night Of The Hawks!

[@cptreech]

Ummm we haven't actually left the EU yet mate!

[@CB-fn3me]

No, and please DON'T! Most of the younger generation and Scotland want to remain in the Union and the result of the "review" was inconclusive so the "Call on the Field should stand as called as there is not enough evidence to overturn it"...

[@cptreech]

Personally I voted to stay but I suspect, now Dodgy Dave has screwed the pooch by bailing out we're going to go through a financially damaging period of protracted wrangling and then come out anyway to soothe Tory Pride ("We made a promise and we're going to keep it" kind off thing) By delaying they'll actually make the effect far worse and drag out the damage until a lot of us really suffer when, if there had been a competent exit stratergy in place, we'd have had a much shorter period of pain and come out, more or less, where we were before financially (just without the benefits of EU citizenship).

[@CB-fn3me]

I didn't vote at all since I'm not Brittish and therefore had no say in this matter. But I can tell you that the freedom loving people all over Europe need you guys just as much now as we did in the 1940's… Where would we be without you and your former colonies USA, Canada and Australia??? UP SHITS CREEK!!! The UK is the foundation of Western Democracy! You should NOT leave! YOU should take CONTROL of the situation and you CAN'T do that if you LEAVE the EU! Where is the spirit of Winston Churchill??? "We shall never surrender!" It's a h_ll of a lot better to fight the c_cks_ckers in the EU Parliament than to fight them on "the beaches" as you/we once had to do… Only cowards run a way from a challenge and locks themselves in a closet! 48% of Brittish voters did not and they deserve MORE RESPECT than the 52% who did! They are P'Tahks!!! :-)

[@vinceyreay]

CB - whever you are in Europe, it doesn't matter to me, you'll always be my brothers & sisters, but we need to release ourselves from the ties of the EU, to keep our identities.....we are not clones, we are not alone.

[@billd.iniowa2263]

Whenever I mention Hawkwind folks ask "who?" and I tell them to imagine Pink Floyd with a heavy metal beat. Their eyes narrow a bit and they get this far-distant look on their face. Then they smile and say..."cool!"

I can see from the comments that Bridget Wishart has her detractors but this was a stunning performance from her, particularly during Back In The Box.

+mattthetoadlicker I thought this period of the band with Wishart was a high point myself.

[@carlamcknight3148]

+jaxxstraw I'm glad you think that. Bridget had a dynamism and ~Hawkspirit that matched any of Hawkwinds frontmen. the voice was not the greatest, but her live performances were.
