After the very first HW tour of the states (73) there was always someone in
the audience at other rock shows who would wait for a nice quiet break in a
song to shout out HAWKWINDDDDDDDDDD. Usually would get about 6 or 7 others to
reply in kind. It was once mentioned in Circus magazine how these Hawkwind
morons can ruin a show.
You can hear yours truly doing this dastardly deed on the Nektar Live in Ny
album. I forget where you can hear it, but it is there. And Nektar was one of
my favorite bands.
