Welcome to the Future
Very reasonable, I think :) I've even included plenty of spacey
ambient bits to break it up.
"Paradox" is one of the great lost HW songs. So is "Upside Down",
which is short too :) "PSI Power" should be as played on the _This is
Hawkwind: Do Not Panic_ album, of course--screaming, roaring rock :) "Out
of the Shadows" as per _California Brainstorm to likewise force Dave to get
out from behind those synths and rock out on guitar. He is the man.
I think HW really missed a bet on the last tour by not pairing "Love
in Space" and "Spirit of the Age" (irony is a wonderful thing :) and I
think they _definitely_ should have reworked Lemmy's "The Watcher" to fit
their current sound, since it would have matched the feel of the recent
_Alien 4_ material and would have been extremely powerful I think.
Notice I managed to avoid putting "Silver Machine" in the set list ;)
My personal preferences tend to lead me to include a lot of Lemmy-era
material as well as quite a bit of the 90s material.
Cheers,
Carl
