I love Nik, both as a person and a performer.  His '95 tour was great,
and I give him a lot of credit for playing tunes like "Kadu Flyer",
"Dying Seas", and "High Rise".  I think he is really entertaining, and is
a hard performer.  Though Nik's "Hawkwind" is a sharp contrast from
Brock's version, I think I can do w/o Brock's droning rhythm guitar once
in a while.
