As it happens, I went to all three of those gigs - the T&C was good, and the Brixton gig was outstanding, but Hammersmith was really crap for some reason... but that's Hawkwind for you!  Anyway, "Welcoming hands..." is the only one of the poems that sticks in the memory at all; they made reasonably atmospheric breaks, and did their job of winding the audience up for the next song. I think they worked well enough in context, but they wouldn't stand on their own.
