There are a lot of dodgy live releases -- dodgier on sound quality than 
playing, perhaps, on many.  But I would count live or partially-live, 
albums among my faves: _Space Ritual_!  And HotMG and Palace Springs 
each have mix of live and studio.  _Live Chronicles_!

(Though I would happily replace Palace Spring's "Acid Test" with a 
decent live version of "Out of the Shadows", maybe from the Bedrock TV 
performance, and though I don't dislike "Back in the Box" as much as 
some, I could see my way clear to instead representing the Bridget-era 
with a good live version of "Images", which IMO, was the best thing on 
_Space Bandits_).

But, yes, I know we're probably really talking about in the innumerable 
dodgy live compilations with titles like "Hawkwind Live Classics" that 
turn out to be a mix of Text of Festival and Acid Daze bits and bobs ;)

Cheers,
Carl
