On the "Right to Decide" Web page, the recent "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT"
states the following:

=====>=====
Hawkwind feel that they want to make each of the shows special and do
not wish to single out London as "The big one" so here's what's been
decided -

There will be no voting at the gigs themselves, instead the poll will
continue on here in the same manner it has done so for the last six
weeks. However once the final four have been decided this Sunday the
last vote will last until 20.00 UK time on Thursday 15th December.

At this point I will, by the wonders of modern technology phone Dave and
the rest of the band who will be waiting to go onstage in Birkenhead and
let them know the final result and it's their intention to play the
winning song
AT ALL FOUR GIGS!
=====<=====

Here's a novel idea, then.  If, as the above announcement implies,
Hawkwind are ready and rehearsed on the 15th December to play ANY of the
four currently nominated songs at a moment's notice, then why don't they
give the fans a real Christmas treat and play all of the songs in the
current shortlist, one at each of the four shows.  (I suppose you could
still have a vote to decide which song gets to take pride of place and
close out the tour.)  Why, it might even encourage fans to catch more
than one show and reward those loyal fans that do...

Cheers,

Paul.
