[Hawkwind] Porchester Saturday

[Steve Swann]

I was there for near 100% of both days, and I had a great time.  The
hall was a bit echo-ish (too square and too many hard surfaces, which
muddied the sound a bit, but the performance was blazing.

Let me introduce the Hawk Yahoo list to the term BLANGA, which is a
BOC-L tradition, for describing the sound of the Hawks ripping the
fucking roof off the place with a blazing, guitar-driven rock and roll
show.  The shows - both days - had BLANGA and then some.  I loved it,
it was worth the trip from the States and every penny.

Plane boarding now, more on this later.
