Funnily enough, I have witnessed exactly that live in concert, although
not with Hawkwind.  When I enjoyed the North Mississippi All Stars set
during Farm Aid 2000, at one point the drummer got down from his kit and
came to the front of the stage and started playing a really nice solo on
a washboard played through a fuzz box and wah-wah pedal.  It was
severely cool.

I wish more bands did that.

Cheers,

Paul.
