HW: 1999 Party

[DASLUD at AOL.COM]

no no, i've got it , and i have a variety of comments on it, i just wanted to
hear what some other folks had to say first>>>>>>don't get me wrong, i'm very
happy to own it>>
HOWEVER...

it's got too much CANNED APPLAUSE for one thing, (remember "KISS ALIVE"?) and
while i'm working on proving it, i dont think it's all from that chicago date
either>>>>and i sure don't get why this EMI release sounds so much inferior to
"space ritual"  recorded 15 months before....>>>>

you realize the entire edmonton sundown 1/26/74 was very likely
recorded...this show included the  original performances which would become
the released versions
of "paradox", "you'd better believe it" and "it's so easy"....bob calvert made
one of his few 1974 appearances at this show>>>>but>>>>(wait for it)....simon
house was NOT present at this show; his parts were overdubbed in the
studio...now that you mention it, the "1999 party" tour was his first as an
official hw member>>>

i believe the cd set is the first "new" lemmy-era hw to be released since he
got the boot in '75....the darkest hawkwind day of all....

ja ne ! >>>>larry.
