Astoria last night

[Steve Freight]

I agree - the sound was full and I've always had time for Mr Dibs. Just
thought his vocals could have been a bit forward in the mix as sometimes I
seemed to lose his vocals.

I was upstairs at the start and the sound up there seemed very distorted -
moved downstairs and the sound was fine.

Don't know if the distortion effect was why I did not like the support act -
don't think so somehow. This raised a discussion point last night - why are
Hawkwind support bands invariably poor?

Apart from all nighters / festivals the following were the good ones we came
up with.

Krel
Spacehead
Man
Beautiful People

The rest we had a job recalling - anyone else have a favourite support band?

Steve
