Ah, that DVD from a couple of years back with Arthur Brown on it was  
quite well shot and had quite good sound (for all that I couldn't  
hear it in 5.1 on my CRT TV when I rented the DVD via LoveFilm back  
in the UK!).  On the other hand, Arthur Brown, while a marvelous  
dude, didn't really do a lot for me in Hawkwind ... and I have to say  
that apart from the fact that he wrote a few cool songs (Moonglum,  
etc.), I've always felt a bit ambivalent about Huw.  He works for me  
in the mid-80s-vibe Hawkwind, but not so much in the '90s/'00s  
Hawkwind.  So I didn't rush out to buy the DVD, though I remember I  
enjoyed watching it.

A decent DVD release of Chronicles would be cool.  I think I wore my  
old VHS copy out to death back in university!  It was just ... a  
remarkable document! :)  I loved the '90ish VHS of the Nottingham  
Rock City performance (I think it was, too), well except for the  
dancer, and I have it in mind there was a DVD version of that as  
well, though I don't think I ever saw it.

Cheers,
Carl
