IT will be quite disappointing if it is just a normal HW show in a cool venue. I never even saw a set list posted from the april gigs? What did they play? I heard Mirror of Illusion mentioned....

 	I've rather lost touch with the whole scene, I think; hardly going 
to any gigs, because I used to hear about them on mailing lists that no 
longer forward me such information (though I am going to see Jefferson 
Starship and QMS double-head next month, thirty years too late I'm well 
ware but it still seemed unmissable). I have bought quite a chunk of 
spacerock lately, and am glad to see it's still being made, but not so 
much of it was new (the new Spaceseed is well up to standard though). 
Missed the Litmus album launch gig entirely through my own stupidity, and 
I was going to the Hawklords Roundhouse gig but... So yes: given the 
setlist that Bernhard posted I should really make some effort to reconnect 
to the real deal.

 	Y'see, I didn't even know about the Sonic Rock Solstice except as 
a concept. I don't think I could have made it but because it wasn't put in 
front of me as an idea it never had a chance.

 	Easier than BOC one at least! Yours,
