HW:Text of Festival

[Captain Bl@ck]

I would beg to differ about the dates for some of these:

According to the BBC sessions archive list, Hawkwind recorded
Masters/Dreaming/Shouldn't on 27/5/71 at Maida Vale Studio 4.  For the
record (!) the engineers were Malcolm Brown, Mike Harding and Mike Franks.

It was broadcast on the Stuart Henry show on 19/5/71.

I would guess Hurry On Sundown and I Came Home are from the notorious John
Peel Sunday Concert of 5/11/70, after which, and I quote, "a roadie stole a
mike leading to the band being temporarily banned".

Captain Bl at ck.
