Hawkwind BBC4 Documentary - part 2/9

[dannyhood66]

They played both free gigs and payed gigs, depending on which gigs had the good connetions..They only played show's where the better dope was..Accorrding to how high the buzz felt at the moment..They didnt really care because dope is like money,. Good dope helps working class people get along with each other better..But only construtive creative minds, Not criminal pieced shit one bit!! .Plus flying high on a kite everyday and everynight is easy

[Silentjackal]

This documentary is SPARTA.

[dirtynuke]

Nick Kent is fucking hilarious.

[edtthx11557]

without a doubt the coolest band of all times

[lovecraft36]

Great band, their influence is still felt today.

[NealShannon6]

Anybody know where I can buy a copy of this??????

[HawklordPXR5]

@NealShannon6 - Never seen it for sale but it's sometimes shown on BBC4, and it's on bit torrent (Pirate Bay).

[Remembermylai]

This documentary is fantastically mental!

[AnagramISP]

One day all bands will be like Hawkwind

[AnagramISP]

Maybe when the repulsive sociopathic elite are all finally wiped out by that 'present' from outer space

[AnagramISP]

The guy with the beard kinda has a point doesn't he?

[TheloniousSphere]

Brain Police are far behind!

[banditcountry]

so much more than just another 'rock' band...

[cleptskull666]

What festival is that at 5:24 with the pyramid.

[HawklordPXR5]

My guess is Glastonbury. Any thoughts, hawkfans?

[DodgeRodgeable]

Yeh it looks like the first pyramid stage they had at Glastonbury. Think theyre on their 3rd or 4th different one now, as the last one got burnt down

[reduk31]

@HawklordPXR5 My guess the original Stonehenge free festival, dont know for sure

[chris99140]

@HawklordPXR5

@Revmd

thats the old pyramid stage from glastonbury built in 1971.it burnt down in 1994 just before the festy started and was replaced by the one they still use today.

[badbrainaj]

maybe a bootleg.I would guess pyramid image, would be from a free festival , maybe stonehenge or glastonbury. Happy daze

[NWRA1957]

They could mention more late 60's Ladbroke Grove bands like Quintessence, Mighty Baby , Arzachel ,The Deviants ,The Pink Fairies , etc

[khyropia]

What synths did Hawkwind use? Moog, Arp, Aries, Buchla, well I know they used the EMS VCS3 but any besides that?

[rythmhawk]

I can't imagine how YOU smell miss ellycat....ouou that smell, the smell that surounds you.....

[ellycat]

I smell of roses of course. (-;

[rythmhawk]

Smelly hippie girl...

[Tazza1]

shut up bitch in those these womens knew their place.. nah just kidding you are one annoying cunt. But Hawkwind is the greatest psychedelic music

[ellycat]

Charming. I was only having a laugh. Seems like peeps get more grumpy in their old age.

Nothing wrong with hippies. I go to India every year to get my hippie fill.

[rockerdude109]

and only the attentive would observe the slight twitch of those ears and the tension of the ripped muscles, the movement of the left hand toward the long dark case at his feet. Not one observing the writhing life within that case

[PAULLONDEN]

NOW for some Edgar Broughton .

[PAULLONDEN]

Hawklord you rúúúúle .All hail to the CAPTAINS.

[sonicattacker]

[missmashbosh]

[seasider2367]

Cheers missmashbosh nice one!

[seasider2367]

What's the song that kicks off at 3:06? Thanks...

[Kohntarkosz]

That's Kiss Of The Velvet Whip, which was part of their original demo that got them their first record deal. You can hear it on the remastered version of the first album.

[pylgrym]
