This is great - thanks for the link, Iain. The info claims that this was
shot at Crystal Palace, but I've no idea how accurate that is.

But - interesting to note that there are lots of Hawkwind videos on this
site, too. Some are widely known about (TotP Silver Machine, Quark on the
Marc (!) show etc), but some I've never encountered before. Namely, what
appear to be promo videos for Images, Treadmill & Time We Left/Heads.
Musically, they appear to be the album versions (Palace Springs in the case
of the last 2), but I'm quite surprised to discover that they bothered to
film promos for these tracks. Anyone know any more about these?

Ok, the quality's not great, but interesting stuff, nonetheless.

Thanks again Iain

Cheers

Dave
