Just tie these alternate realities in with Michael Moorcock's multiverse

various avatars of the same figures and conjunctions of the spheres....

In an alternate universe #23423b

This alternate universe proceeds pretty much as normal until the Atomhenge
tour.  Then...

Bob Calvert accidentally shoots Doug Smith with his gun "prop".  After a
highly
publicized court trial which gained the group much publicity and notoriety,
Hawkwind launched a benefit concert to fund his legal defense.  Due to the
high level of attention, huge sums of revenue are generated.   After an

staying one steap ahead of interpol until they are granted refuge in the
Comoros
by french mercenary Bob Denard.  Another huge concert is planned in the
caldera
of the volcano of the main isle, with a major pyrotechnics show being one of

attempts
to convince Dave that this trend will be useful in impressing chicks, but in
the middle of
this conversation the volcano begins to erupt.  All appears lost until a
mysterious
silvery flying machine appears and.....
