    Wow, never knew that. Hopefully it'll keep him alive for a few more years. Very few hell raisers left

    I was about 13 years old at the time. My first ever concert. We had moved over to England. Usual story.

    Went to the gig with some friends. Parents had no idea what Hawkwind was about. Thank feck or no way would they have let me go.

    Middlesbrough Town Hall was the venue. The first thing that hit you at the concert was a strange herbal smell. (I was 13 and had no idea what it was) I smiled a lot. Passive smoking at its best. Everyone and I mean everyone was off their heads, whether intentionally or not.

    Then the music and lights and poetry. They used a strobe effect most of the time. If you suffered from Epilepsy a Hawkwind gig was not the place to be.

    Then Stacia. Wow. Just wow. Made quite an impression on this young boy at the time I can tell ya. Always liked big boobed women. Not sure why!

    The day after the concert I thought I'd gone deaf. The buzzing in my ears was that bloody loud.

    The 'Space Ritual' LP now CD was recorded on that tour. To this day I think it's the finest 'Live' album I've heard. Lemmys base playing on tracks like 'Shouldn't do that' and 'Born to Go' is excellent.

    They are still my favourite band and produced some fantastic work in the 1970's. Way way ahead of their time.
