I've long sinced realised that my tastes vary greatly from most
people on the list, however I'm very surprised that so many people
liked the gig at Brixton on Friday.
They started off well enough, Psi Power and Assassins sounded great,
but the rest of the set was very uninspiring. Possibly my two least
favourite HW tracks are Steppenwolf and Secret Agent both of which
were aired and I was very disappointed when what sounded like the
intro chords to Damnation Alley turned into Siver Machine.
The sound quality was the worst I've ever heard at a gig, it
sounded very flat, the bass and drums were muddy for Hawkwind, but
were fine for the Ozrics (therefore one can assume that HW's engineer
should be shot). To cap it all, the lighting also left a lot to be
desired.
Luckily the Ozrics were excellent, Minty was...errrr...entertaining
and Tribal Drift were cool so the gig wasn't that bad on the whole.
