I was there... they weren't as good as BOC's lasers the year before... :)

It wasn't half bad, and the segue into "Levitation" (which none of us had
heard before) was excellent.  However, speaking personally, I preferred
the "Silver Machine" on the two Hawklords gigs I saw - Cambridge because
Bob held the mike in my face for a chorus, and Hammersmith because Lemmy
(who'd been in the stalls with Eddie and Philthy!) climbed on stage and
took over the mike.  A hopelessly outclassed bouncer tried to stop him,
until Bob had a word in his shell-like.  - Andy
