    Well, they're tracked together on the CD.  The "Intro" section is the obligatory swooshy noises, random bass intonations from Lemmy, followed by someone saying:

"My Lords, Ladies, and Freaks: the year is 1999.  [something I couldn't catch] ... the 1999 party as you experience the music of Hawkwind."

    A few more swooshy noises, and then what is more or less a performance of "We are standing on the edge, the edge of time, etc."

Cheers,
Carl
