Review: The raw, mind-expanding energy of a band that invennted space rock and went on to influence everything from punk to electronica, captured at various shows from 1977 to 1982. Opening with tracks from the 1977 Spirit of the Age tour, including the hypnotic 'Quark, Strangeness & Charm' and the anthemic live classic 'Masters of the Universe', the interplay between Bob Calvert's commanding vocals and Dave Brock's driving guitar, paired with Simon House's soaring violin, creates a spellbinding atmosphere. The B-side features some of the band's most celebrated moments, from their most famous single 'Silver Machine' to the frenetic 'Urban Guerrilla', recorded with varied lineups that reflect the band's ever-changing, yet consistently powerful, dynamic. Hawkwind's live brilliance lies in their ability to combine intricate musicianship with immersive, sci-fi-inspired themes. If heavy riffs, swirling synths and hypnotic energy are your bag, this LP will be right up your interstellar highway.
