Astoria last night

[Steve Bishop]

LOL, cheers Guy - but I'd changed outta the suit and into Doremi t-shirt n
leather jacket n jeans so as not to be too ridiculed ! But hey, guess I AM one
of the more 'unusual' and most 'unlikely' HW fans though I've been seein 'em
since the 1980 Ginger Baker tour ........ guess HW appeal to all genres of the
populace !! And I even played bass in a 'space-rock' band from school doing
covers of Motorward City and Master along with our own stuff ............

Lack of dope-smoke ? Yup, it just wasn't the same without it though there were
definitely a few crafty spliffs doin the rounds .........

Great gig, thought for a mo we may get TWO encores cos the lights didn't come
up but sadly it wasn't to be ..............

Hi Steve,

Yup - great show last night! I was looking forward to Fable OAFR but had to
settle for lighthouse - never liked it that much in days of old, but Dave did
a
good job on vox.

Tim's work on the Theramin was brilliant - he's a real genius!

Dibs was a real surprise - vocals good - brillaint in the role of Bob Calvert,
bass
was on a par with Alan/Lemmy, with a real fat (non-Rickenbacker!!) sound.
The bass interlude on MOTU was great.

Wonder if Dibs get chance to get some of his own material into the set ever?
It's well known that I'm Krel Fan #1, and that Dibs work in Krel was IMO
better
than Spacehead (probably why he kept on playing Krel tracks in his Spacehead
days). The track Space Trip from the last Krel CD (recorded live on the 1992
Teepee tour, released in 2005) would be brilliant in a HW set.

I haven't seen the band for a couple of years, and I've just worked out what
was wrong - there was no dope smoke in the air! Our wonderful government
have made us all more terrified of general smoking indoors, than puffing on
the
weed - oh well!  Looking round, there seemed to be loads of geezers in short
hair (I even saw a couple of suits!) obviously fresh from the city! (Hi
Steve!).
and more general HW rockers of say 70s/80s era with very few grungers!
We've all grown up!

Guy
