I would think that it would be difficult to confuse a Hawkwind '77 live
recording with the Sonic Assassins performance, since Simon House has a
distinctive keyboard style quite different from that of Paul Hayles (and,
needless to say, the presence of violin on a track would confirm that it's
HW and not SA).

Is this known to be the complete track listing for the Sonic Assassins gig?
 Or were there more songs performed that never made it to tape? (obviously,
if this was the complete gig, there's no way that recordings of Master and
Welcome could come from it)
