The show was described as “LOUD,” “monotonous,” “unfamiliar,” and “some guy with a radio set making noises like he’s attempting to get reception” with a chunk of the audience apparently fleeing the hall.
This is like my greatest dream concert ever. The fact that it’s one of my favorite bands doing this 25 years into their career makes it even better. Apparently it was recorded, so I hope that some/all of this makes it out.
have they always played that many covers?

Don’t get my hopes up! That sounds insanely awesome.
have they always played that many covers?
Yes and no. They toured for the “Box Of Birds” covers album and played a lot of covers + songs they hadn’t done live in awhile.
Apparently this show was a sort of one-off “Hawkwind Christmas” gig.
Most of the time, they don’t do covers unless MWP is taking too long to tune his guitar, broke all the strings, etc.
Wow, how bizarre. I guess you can’t put anything past them. I’d like to hear the recording, too.
My god! I must hear this immediately!
