Off: Pink Pompeii DVD/ why cant the Hawks.....

[Steve Youles]

I have to agree, Mick.  Last night I watched the Ozric's "Live At The
Pongmasters Ball" DVD and it's just straight footage of the band playing
live, 99% of the time - what I'm hoping the Hawkfest 2003 DVD will be.
Plus the Ozrics' effort has an additional "documentary" section consisting
of cursory interviews with band members, backstage & soundcheck footage,
and cameo appearances by fans queueing to get into the gig.  A Hawkwind
version of this would be excellent!

Why cant the Hawks get something along the lines of the original cut?
I remember sitting down with my VHS of Love In Space and thinking "great-
a decent recording of a great tour"...and then just as Death Trap gets going
it starts going into a sort of slow motion cutting technique....loses all
the urgency of the light show created in those blistering opening
shots.....lets hope the new DVD is just a good straightforward
representation of the gig.Its along the same lines as what makes the COTBS
video so annoying to watch....

Oh well fingers crossed!
