Tour/CD...

[Colin J Allen]

The Bedrock show was filmed at the Central TV studios, not Rock City.  Rock
City is a large club in central Nottingham; lots of metal fittings and quite
harsh PA;  a pretty grotty environment.

The Wulfrun Hall in Wolverhampton is a large shoebox shaped council-run
venue, which holds about 1200 people.  It is great for the lightshow as the
ceiling is very high.  The local PA suppliers are ok and the PA is usually
okish.

However, if they are using Pyramid Audio to provide all of the PA on this
tour again, then the sound will be much better at both venues.

Hawkwind album release dates are silly?  Surely not;).
