HW: Test-tube & Belfast

[mark von bargen]

I remember the song being played live on that tour at Liverpool Uni. I also
remember talking to the good Mr Pond & Fred while they were packing away
after show. I was completely out of my tree and probably not making much
sense. What is Fred doing these days? I remember him being a very talented
bassist & keyboardist, sometimes at the same time. Didn't he play with
Clapton many years ago?
I can also remember a second sax player getting up to join the band for a
couple of numbers that night. Nik introduced him as 'Hawkwind's new sax
player' tho I can't remember the guys name.
