HW: Do not Panic, we are not Boring

I was away this week and came back to over 300 messages, the majority of
these BOC-L.   As I waded forth, enjoying the retelling of Steve Swann's
list origin, I noticed a thread brought up by Alex Garcia about Hawkwind
being boring.

I can empathize as back when I started liking HW, it was only certain tunes,
the rest got skipped.    Now some of those skipped tunes have become my
favorites.

Anyway, Steve suggested _Live Chronicles_ which I highly recommend.  In
fact, the other less LSDed live stuff like _Live 79_  and _Do Not Panic_ are
my additional suggestions.   You can even find these in the cheapie bins.
 If you don't like HW live as displayed on these opuses, then forget them.
   I consider this a low probability event though.    I find HW shines more
live than in the studio.  Then when your mood gets more electric, you may
find the quirks, strangeness and charms of these once boring tracks suddenly
leap out at you.

I saw in the Goldmine that featured BOC that Griffin has released _Alien 4_.

And how about that  _Graceland_?
