I checked the video again. The scene HW reputedly appear in is a
nightclub set up like a giant pinball machine. There is a band
peforming, though you only get a very brief glimpse. I f you freeze
frame it, it's still impossible to make them out. The music being played
is not typical HW. It's more mid-sixties Psychedelia, the type with
cheesy organ that used to be heard in TV shows like UFO.

Even though it's not your typical Hawkwind sound, it does sound like
Dave Brock playing guitar!

I suppose the only way to find out the truth is to ask Mr Brock himself?
