Live at Reading 1986

[Nick Lee]

Yep,

Alan's tour with Dumpy was in Summer '88 and can be heard on the 'Firkin
Well Live' double album.  As I recall Dumpy played guitar with Hawkwind at
Reading (possibly using the handlebars as a slide, as he often did).
However when he guested with at the Hammersmith that autumn all he did, was
as was pointed out, was leap about the stage.
