HW Chicago Lounge Ax 1989

[mary sullivan]

Hi John and friends, I'm sure there are copies, Chris made copies for The
captain, of most shows, (including some matrix recordings), along with a few
choice people approved by Dave, and they're out there.  I really wish Chris
got credit for First Avenue, that WAS his mix, I know it very well. If
everyone would use their Psi Power and send him good vibes at least once
while listening to it  I'll be satisfied. That was our Best recording.
People that weren't real fans tried to talk us into getting it out to the
masses for a bit of money, which was totally unethical, so we never did
that. I wish he'd lived to see his work appreciated.  We had such good times
working with Hawkwind, and so many other talented musicians, so Please send
out those vibes, Thanks!
 It is, what it is at this point.  Yesterday I didn't want to sound like the
victim, however my feelings are justified, and John, don't worry, I should
have given everyone more closure years ago. Hopefully I'll find a nugget
somewhere for everyone, and some personal stuff from my life with Chris.  I
mean, fuck it, I deserve better, too.  I'll bet if I had Mike Coleman with
me, he'd have torn apart the house to get at my stuff, and found somewhere
in this 2 room 12 by 10 rooms to store them or some means to do it.
Although it was beyond my personal ability to control I feel like I've let
Chris, and everyone else down.  Granted the task will be tedious, with
thousands of tapes of all kinds, albums and God knows what.  I really don't
know what else I could have done. 
Anyway,John, I hope you're doing well, and get a copy of the show.  Do you
get the shows from Captain Deli?  Lots of first rate stuff.

I  got to go, this is still too heavy,

Peace,

Mary

I did not intend to stir up a hornet's nest by bringing up the topic of
possible live recordings.  One point of curiosity, for me at least, is that
some of these shows haven't shown up for 20+ years.  One example is First
Avenue, Minneapolis MN May 21, 1991.  Suddenly, more than 20 years after the
fact,  a soundboard surfaced.... I do wonder if there are others yet to be
discovered.....

Don't want to bring anyone else down, but, whatever tapes I have have been
circulated.  I wish there were more.  I can't talk about it without getting
really angry due to lack of help from my family in transporting the music
here and when I moved in, and helping me set up a system of shelving
fororganization. I offered to pay, a friend offered to help, since I don't
know where the tons of stuff I had are stored that was inconvenient.    I
had no way to decode whatever was left. This hurts me since so much of my
life with Chris and my time with Hawkwind were treated like shit by my
family.  They wanted me to move it out, but didn't offer to help, and I
didn't have storage.  Now that I have more space, since finally ten years
later my sister paid for shelving.  Someone could have helped me purchase
the shelves which I'd have paid a family member to be put up, which I asked
for on many occasions.  I guess my family don't want me to have anything
from my life with Chris, who would never have let this happen, and due to a
small apartment and lack of interest in help from my family I don't hold out
much hope.  I just found out squerels infested the area my brother moved my
albums into.  When I heard that,  I threw my phone across the room.  Then I
had a melt down, Poor Tim didn't need that.  Sob.  I better end this here or
I'll cthrow the keyboard, if anything survives I'll be sure to put the word
out.  
This is not a bunch of bullshit excuses, this wound goes right to the heart.
Chris's work, and the work of Hawkwind deserve much more respect.  I feel
like I've let him and everyone else down.

Mary

Yeah, I have that video as well, but it has footage from shows other than
the Chicago ones.  Hawkwind probably recorded some of the USA shows from
1989 and 1990 (as evidenced by the Palace Springs and Live 1990 CDs), so I
suppose we can always look forward to hearing some sort of archival
releases.  And then of course there is the hoard of soundboard tapes that I
assume Mary has :-) John Majka
