No, thats St Catherines Ontario, site of possibly the smallest gig in
Hawkwind history I would imagine. (St Caths is conveniently halfway
between Toronto & Buffalo so has been on the tour schedule the last two tours.

The Hideaway club holds maybe 300 people, the stage is barely big enough for
the band. This is the (well to me) legendary gig where Ron Bastard maanged
to suspend himself upside down from the rafters above the stage (thats how low
the cieling is). Also you can only get off teh stage on one side, I remember
Captain Brock creeping back onto the stage during one of the instrumental bits
having gone off to grab a drink, and trying to sneak across in front of the
drum kit without being seen, much to Alans and Richards amusement.

Being a transplanted Brit, and havint to endure years of no HW tours over here,
I have to find it somewhat amusing that I've still seen the new lineup
twice as many times as anybody in the UK so far.

Cheers,
Steve L.
