Magnarok

aka Magna Rock.

What? Well seeing as I'm gonna miss out on the Hawkwind Christmas Party due to a flight tomorrow to New York via Madrid, I decided to go see Hawkwind at Magna in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. It's a long way from here is Rotherham, about 190 miles or 3 hours drive... and all to see Hawkwind a) filming a new video and b) playing a gig in an old Steelworks.

It was a long drive there & back and it was fucking cold when I got there but the small (mercy) bar and the fact that Hawkwind play a rocking live set made up for it. Dave Brock's voice is still good, Richard Chadwick's drumming was superb and Alan Davey was on top form tonight and Lever the wannabe bass hero watched the technique with particular interest :) So here's what I can remember of the play list, I'll tweak it later when I get more info & time.

• The Right Stuff
• Psychedellic Warlords (Disappear in Smoke)
• Orgone Accumulator
• Paradox
  
• Robot
  
• Greenback Massacre
• Lord of Light
  
• Images
  
• Assassins of Allah (Hassan I Sabbah)
• Spirit of the Age
• Motorhead

And it was a long drive home afterwards but it was well worth it.
