Hawkwind 1998-07-15 Strange Daze, Nelson OH ('Strangewind'

Hawkwind 1998-07-15 Nelson Ledges: Strange Daze Festival, Ohio. ('STRANGEWIND') Quality: 8 Lineage: AUD (trade) > WAV (EAC) > FLAC (TLH 2.2.2 - 152) SONIC HAWK shares... I delayed posting this on Dime because originally I thought it was a soundboard recording. However, after some consultation I'm now satisfied it's an AUD recording, albeit a fairly good one. Some audience sound intrudes in places but not too severely. STRANGEWIND: Only one gig all year, and Dave Brock and Ron Tree missed it through being denied entry to the USA. There's a detailed account of the behind-the-scenes problems at http://www.strange-trips.com/docs/sd98.htm and how a couple of Cleveland Hawkwind fans were asked to step in and fill the gaps at the last minute! LINE-UP: Jerry Richards: lead guitar, synths, vocals Steve Taylor: bass (Ohio guy drafted in) Richard Chadwick: drums, percussion Capt. Rizz: noisemaker, vocals Steve Hayes: keyboards (Ohio guy drafted in) THE SHOW: Blanga content pretty high, and spacey sound fx, once things get going. Most unusually, there's 10 mins of preamble before the first number proper - echoes of 1971 there! 'Starfire' is about the festival area and the main Rizz vocal is 'It's all because of you' or variations of that. It's an embryonic form of the Hawkwind song 'Hippy', I'm told. 'Space is Deep' is weird, a perky 80's reggae organ riff with the vocals as a narrative. Reggae also pops up in 'In Your Area': Jump up and down, swing yourselves around! SET: 01 ten-minute intro: announcements / control your own minds 02 Wheels 03 Standing On The Edge 04 Assault And Battery 05 Golden Void 06 Spirit Of The Age 07 Starfire Mountain Dreaming [Hippy] 08 Time We Left 09 Space is Deep 10 Brainstorm - In Your Area [Camera] - Brainstorm Note: Starfarer's page shows a swathe of tracks after Brainstorm but accounts of the show that I've read indicate that what's in this torrent is the full show. 72 mins. ARTWORK: Thanx to Liverpool's Richie for the alternative cover art. Yep, definitely innocent, lol

PS, I'm going to start seeding some of my earlier torrents, as it looks like some people are waiting for them. BUT REMEMBER it isn't the job of the torrent's uploader to seed forever. The moral responsibility lies with those people who grabbed it. Most of whom did a 'grab and run'... Anyway, I like HW fans, so I'll see what I can do to help.
