Has anyone ever heard of a chap called Louis Stock? He plays guitar and
was, apparently, once a guitar tech/roadie for Hawkwind.
Just curious if this is true or not.

Well, ive seen better montages..especially as a new-wave Marc Bolan induced
77 Bob was merrily miming q,s&c..EVEN miming away on the instrumental
sections..Maybe he was talking to himself..I was waiting for Marc Bolan to
make an appearance somewhere, but sadly it didnt happen..:-) but at least we
saw snippets from the bbc stock footage of silver machine(AGAIN)..and bits
of the black sword video(AGAIN)...cool..
Anyone notice..ALREADY...the release date for "welcome to the future"
states JULY 17th at AMAZON..though it still states JULY 10th on the HW
official site...Methinks its a case of "here we go again" regarding HW
release dates.. ;-)

It's got the old creative juices flowing (anyone know what takes out
those stains?) though. So what package is nice'n'cheap but makes it easy
to put together montages of cobbled video bits and set them to sound?
And can I do it in Nero 7 Premium?

It may not actually be voiceprint causing the delay. It could be problems at
the pressing plant or a change of running order. That happened with the
first release in the TMTY series.

yes..i noticed that amazon had put the release date, first back to the
17th..then the 24th..but now voiceprint say the end of july..this is DESPITE
the HAWKWIND OFFICIAL SiTE STILL SAYING 10th JULY!
I vowed, after the "take me to your leader" pre-order debacle on Amazon, to
NEVER pre-order HAWKWIND cds/dvds again. I shall wait till the Cd/DVD IS
ACTUALLY released, and confirmed as available.
One bad any persistently annoying thing about Hawkwind albums is their
release date promises, then delays...and i can recall problems even way back
in the days of "sonic attack" etc.Its NOT good for the band, the fans OR the
new generation of people becoming interested in the band.
NOT IMPRESSED!(but TYPICAL, and not unexpexcted!)

The new generation are going to find it increasingly hard to discover the
band. They sure as hell aren't going to get any radio play, (Leave that to James
(You're Beautiful) Blunt and that other one with flowers in her hair.
So what's left? Internet searches. Though they may not intentionally search,
they may accidentally discover.
However, they can't do that if the band removes everything out there that
there is to discover.

I love Hawkwind, but this really pisses me off. Especially after all we did,

A little help from Hawkwind themselves wouldn't go amiss.

In case you feel the urge to spread the word about Hawkwind follow this rule:
DO NOT DO IT!
If you are making love it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm
simultaneously and sing "You're Beautiful".
Do not waste time blocking your ears.
Do not waste time doing back-ups of unavailble CD's for your friends.
Follow the bands rule and try to get as far away from the sonic source as
possible.
Do not spread the word.
If you do, you may feel dizzy. You may feel the need to vomit. Not to
mention the aches and pains.
Small babies may be placed in special cocoons in which they can listen to

Do not spread the word.

I agree 100% - it could be problems with the pressing, with the
distribution, or in fact hundreds of things that are completely out of
control of the band itself.
I am sure that the band would not delay the release themselves - they want
people to hear their work.

Does the new generation listen to the radio? (And, for that matter,
did Hawkwind *ever* get any radio play? :)
In any case, my rule with new Hawkwind releases is: Believe that its
been released when you are actually listening to a local copy (yours
or a friends, but in your physical presence) and not one second
before! ;)

Was at the library and looking for a good introduction
to Michael Moorcock's work. Any suggestions? Many
would probably suggest Elric or Cornelius: I wasn't
necessarily looking for a series to read just a good
sample. Just feeling around.

Read The Ice Schooner - the images from that still haunt me. Behold the
Man for another early book (but controversially religious). Read a Jerry
Cornelius - any. Cure for Cancer, The Final Programme and The English
Assasain are all still on my bookshelves. There are many alter-ego
variants of Jerry Cornelius - Jherek Carnelian is one (if memory serves) and
that basic character seems to haunt all Moorcock's books while other
metamorphosed characters keep emerging in transmuted forms in other series.
Warlord of the Air transposes Victorian and recent histories and there may
be other, more recent, series that do this as well - all of them embracing a
Fin de Siecle (End of an Age) atmosphere. I've almost entirely avoided
any sword and sourcery books and though I did read the last Elric 'Revenge
of the Rose' (dare I say this?) I found it strangely boring. Brothel
In Rosenstrasse has plenty of the erotic (as you might expect from the
title) combined with "stream of consciousness" writing style and I can't
remember the book (either Rituals of Infinity or Entropy Tango) that has The
Mountain Grill with various Hawkwind Band members sitting at all the
different tables but the band also gets a brief mention in one of the Jerry
Cornelius books.
But I'm sure other people will offer you a completely different selection!
De gustibus ....and all that.

'Mother London' is also good. Straight, not fantastical, fiction.
'King of the City' is good, too.
'Course, I dunno how many a library will have.
If you've got a used book store nearby, you might find some.

Haven't the band got a gig in 2 weeks time.
I'd a thought that they might try sell a load there as a "special for
you today, the brand new hawkwind Lp , thats not even in the shops yet"
Its that or they ain't back from the pressing plant in time.
makes sense to me...

I was talking to a work colleague last night. It seems his 18 year old
son had gone to the Hawkwind website looking for MP3 samples to
download. He'd expected to be able to get at least some of their older
songs. He was apparently unimpressed by what's available and it doesn't
compare well to what he expects given experience of other bands online.
It's a shame. He's a big fan of The Who and seems a good potential
convert. I'll send some CDs on loan to see if the situation can be
rescued.

Yes..its a very good point..im pretty eclectic in my tastes..and if you
visit official websites
like those of sigur ros and massive attack..theres miles of FREE
downloads..from studio material(complete tracks..not just snippets!), to
live material..video downloads, audio downloads..etc.
As a very good example, Sigur Ros have recently become HUGE..and are signed
to EMI..but you can watch a whole 2 hour VIDEO of a live concert, DOWNLOAD
ALL THEIR LATEST VIDEO SINGLES..FREE..and also download FREE quite a lot of
previous studio work,and live material(in either video or MP3 audio
only)..What has it made me do?..GO AND BUY THEIR LATEST 2 studio CDS!
EQUALLY FRUSTRATING..despite all the legal wrangling, of a hundred record co
changes and a hundred members coming and going...and the limited
"sellability" factor ..why the heck cant Hawkwind sort out their back
catalogue of studio CDs AND GET THEM RELEASED??Theres virtually nothing post
"hall of.."available..Even the pretty awful "distant horzons" is already
deleted, and fetching a packet on Ebay.(They managed the EMI released triple
cd of studio material, covering ALL phases of their lengthy career..so it
MUST be possible)..but..
All thats available are pages and pages of mainly pretty grim "live this,
live that"..and the "wierd tapes" collection..Woopee..
Then they moan about Rock Fever, and Sunrise Records..Personally,im rapidly
changing my viewpoint about these illegal cds..At least they look
professional and are making the material available..and fans really want to
complete their studio cd collection(ok, ive got everything on vinyl up to
about "palace springs")..then the rest on cd,but.. those missing years
between "hall" and when i started buying cds..nitemare! .. AND WHY SHOULD
WE PAY EXTORTIONATE AMOUNTS ON EBAY??..but the likelihood of anything post
'74,studio released AND official looks evermore unlikely..(and p.s.- this
studio stuff isnt even available on "pay"download sites for you young
peoples ipods and mp3 players- :-)!)
Oh well...at least my software that burn copies from vinyl to cd
works..personal use only, of course..

Perhaps he can at least be directed to the Roadburn stream (which ought
to still be up).
That said, even if Hawkwind *wanted* to provide some MP3 samples of
older recordings on their Web site, they might have legal problems doing
so. The obvious samples to include would be stuff from the EMI
remasters; who, actually, has the rights to that stuff at the moment?
The best bet may be to rush off to iTunes Music Store, the UK version of
which (at least) has quite a lot of vintage Hawkwind available in
standard iTMS-style 30-second samples.
I definitely owe my fandom to the kindness of a few BOC-L members back
in the early 90s who sent me cassette tapes of things that, at the time,
hadn't yet ever been released on CD (let alone withdrawn! ;)

Just to keep up with the flavour-of-the-moment, I created a Das
Ludicroix page on Myspace, featuring the 3 Das Lud MP3s I have. (Back
in the '90s, at Larry's request, I had put these MP3s up on the old
MP3.com as well, which was basically the same idea, so this is really
just an update to that :)
http://www.myspace.com/dasludicroix
For those out there confused by this post, Das Ludicroix was a band
(sort of) playing all-improv space rock formed around drummer and
through'n'through Hawkfan Larry Boyd (who, alas, passed away a few years
ago). He used to be subscribed to BOC-L, and is probably remembered by
a few people here! :)

There is only one way to celebrate the 40th year of your first band -- get
everyone together, invite friends, then PLAY&DANCE.
The Regal-Tones did just that in Clayton, NY.
It is impossible to say how much fun I had, as the DNA that makes up my
understanding of what music does surrounded everyone that night.
That night, Godzilla wore a thin, black tie.
It was a night that made me realize that I like the Beatles.
It was a show that made me want to start my own band.

A really sad day. Syd was... well, he was Syd. He made some magical,
timeless pop music before succumbing to the most dangerous rides in the
fairground. I can only hope he didn't suffer too much. No matter what his
recent life may have been like the world is a poorer place without him. A
few acquaintances and I have wished him a safe journey into the arms of the
full moon... we can but hope he went with the knowledge of the love and
esteem that people felt for him.

Definitely a tough year for space rock (and all who sail on her).
Syd had a stranger and more difficult ride than many of us have had,
but at least left a brighter and longer-lasting legacy than most of
us will! He was never forgotten while he lived, and seems unlikely
to be forgotten now ....
Cheers,
Carl

The Treadmill video that used to be on youtube is different from the footage
backing it up on the 79-89 video. The one on the web site looked like a
proper promo video but the one on the video release showed the band in
rehearsals then later in concert. Is one of these being used in the dvd
coming out and is that part of the delay does anyone know?

MAIL ORDER NEWS: Lots of cool stuff in the past couple weeks. I?ve got
reissues of 7 Alien Planetscapes albums originally released on cassette by

Also in stock are new Black Widow label releases from Wicked Minds,
Areknames and Northwinds. All come in CD & 2-LP editions, and the Wicked
Minds and Northwinds are CD+DVD releases. I?ve also got the new LP+CD

Easy - at the time, they owned it all - now, they don't!
Normally a release of material that the label owns cannot come out unless
someone to do with the band approves it first. In this case, that was done.
If the band representative(s) refuse such a request, then the item does not
come out.
I'm not sure if a label that owns tracks can issue compilations of those
tracks without prior notification or approval from the band or their
representative - some little voice inside me tells me that they can, but
generally, don't.

Greetings friends..Despite the blistering heat approximately 700 riders took
part in the 2nd annual 'Highway to Healthcare' event. This year's rally
ended at Pine Grove picnic area in Crosswicks, New Jersey. Once again it was
our pleasure to have Stewkey from The Nazz as guest vocalist on the final
three numbers. The gig was an extremely spirited one, with a manic version
of Nazz's 'Wildwood Blues' closing the set.

Just got back from Guilfest. BOC headlined the ents24 stage on the saturday
night. It was the shortest set I've ever seen them do but they looked like
they were having a great time and they were really good. It was a sort of
greatest hits set. I can't remeber the complete order (end of the day,
rather alot of cider etc). But they played:
Red and Black
OD'd on Life
Burning for You
ETI
Shooting Shark
ME262
Cities on Flame
Godzilla
DftR
No encores
I think that was about it, although there may have been another song (was
anybody else there?)
Buck did a really great solo at the end of Shooting Shark.
The two new guys were great an fitted in really well. My only slight
criticism was that due to the limited time it might have been nice to have
another song instead of the bass / drum solo slot at the end of Godzilla -
although I would point out that it was easily as good as the slot has been
with previous rhytthm sections. I'm really looking forward to the Astoria
gig (and I might go to Southampton) - is anyone else going?

and later the band will all be sitting in Sid's Cafe drinking cups of tea
and - as a bizarre counterpoint to The Mountain Grill - Mike Moorcock will
be serving behind the counter and Jerry Cornelius lounging at a table in a
far corner of the room. And perhaps a zepplin will come drifting over the
hills to hover over the centre of town while hundreds of Hawkwind crew and
fans in dark t-shirts and black fleece jackets descend down ropes from the
gondola taking over the town en-masse causing utter consternation and
bemusement to the local inhabitants until the next morning when everyone
will vanish as quickly as they arrived.
hmmm - it must be the heat

Anyone want to meet for a pint down there? Anyone going from Norwich to

It was the same the previous night in Newcastle. I hope Allen's alright.
The only blessing (and it is the only one before I get flamed) is that if he
doesn't play tonight in London (which of course I hope he does but it looks
unlikely) is that they won't play Joan Crawford as an opener like they did
in Bilston on Monday. I love the song but it's not right as a show opener.
Get well soon Allen.

I would recommend this documentary to anyone with an interest in making

Hi everyone! Just got home from the fest.Missed Harvey (gutted) but we had
to leave. First, Tim played a solo spot and was on great form musically. He
played a lot of tide of the century and mentioned he's very ill. He didn't
go into what's Up but the show brought tears to my eyes. Richard Chadwick
was watching at the front barrier. Great to see that. Dunno if Dave or Alan
saw it.
Hawkwind? Well. another peak I thought! They started with Ejection - S of
the east...then the memory failed me. I just followed my wife Andrea to the
front barrier. Oh Yeah! Uncle Sam's on Mars Blew the sky away! PSI Power? I
nearly wet my pants! Not many slow numbers...Out here we are-Love in space-7
by 7.Brainstorm with Upside Down (very pogoish!) in the midst and Paradox.
Lord of Light was a joy to behold! Alan thrasing bass! Dave was very
animated...Spirit of the age set the place on fire!! Dave looked so content
and into it! The gig went very quick, the curfew was at 11pm sharp. I was
compleatly
draind. Like I'd been, I dunno...through a porthole and flung back to
reality witha crash! The crowd was baying for more....Andrea was...I've
never seen her go so mental !!
Me? I was totally blown away (again). During the sat afternoon I'm sure I
saw the infamous Pete Docherty Slipping backstage. Must have gone to learn
from the masters!!!!!!! I hope they filmed it! Love to see what you all
thought! Alan. Oh yeah...the security were the toughest (putting it very
mildly) bunch of nasties I've encountered in a good whike!! Very luckily, I
read the small A4 sized notice Oon the caravan athte gate to the Arena. Many
others didnt. I saw one guy have his 12g pack of bacci gone through. They
found his stash. I was searched VERY THOUROUGHLY each time. I said to one
guy that i thought it was too excessive....he said,"they hired us 'cos we're
the best!Hmmmmm! Roll on Hawkfest!

The Minutemen are so different from Hawkwind or BOC but in an
artistic way they are similar. They came along at a time when
conceptual art was finding its way into music and they surfed that
wave. It really is a touching story of a band and I also highly
recommend it. We'll be watching the DVD in the van this summer.

Eastern Haze
Hats off to organiser Vinny. I don't know what he does during the day for
the rest of the year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were the logistics
director for a multinational. The sheer vision, energy, diplomacy and
co-ordination that went into Eastern Haze were clearly monumental. I had a
brief chat with him on Sunday as he flitted around the site and was
impressed by his good humour.
The festival site, camping and car parking covered several large fields.
There were several stages and a multitude of stalls. The stages had been set
far enough apart so that there was no sound pollution between one and the
other. The stalls consisted of a variety of food vendors, alternative
therapy practitioners, the Hare Krishnas (from whom I had a very palatable
vegetable stew), sculptors, tarot readers, clothiers of various kind, etc.
etc.
Numbers attending probably disappointed the organisers - at a rough estimate
I would say maybe 2-3 thousand, but that's just my impression.
We travelled down from Cheshire in two batches - a camper van hired for the
occasion piloted by me with the wife, sons Matthew and James (guitarist and
drummer) and a couple of their friends conscripted as roadies. Singer Tim,
guitarist Craig and bassist Tilly came down with the gear in a hired van
that looked as though its last hirer had used it in a stock car rally.
This was the first time I'd driven anything larger than a saloon car - so a
7 hour journey in a 5 berth camper van through some of the narrowest roads
in Britain was something of a challenge. I was pretty relieved to finally
reach the site at 9:15 on Friday evening.
Senser were playing as we wandered around the site - proficiently played and
those watching seemed to love it, but not my style - but my style isn't that
of many either! Senser sounded to me like a sort of spacey Beastie Boys. I
was sorry that we'd had to miss others, such as Tarantism whose blend of
celtic rock and techno really impressed me at the Hawkfest three years ago.
The real ale tent was most appreciated - we discovered 'Gone Fishing', which
has an ABV of 5.0%, and all the characteristic earthy heaviness of a real
ale that I knew was going straight to my waistline - it's still in evidence
as I type this on the sofa.
Clearly the local council had felt they'd stuck their neck out having this
event. A pair of policemen ambled around the site from time to time and
licensing restrictions were vigorously enforced by an army of t-shirted
security of various size and shapes - mainly large and daunting.
However, the atmosphere was such that the local power should have no
hesitation in running such an event again. I saw no trouble whatsoever and
everyone looked as though they were having a thoroughly great time.
The crowd covered a wide social span - from the clearly occasional festival
visitor to the dedicated alternative lifestyler.
Friday morning came, and we had been scheduled for 11am. So I climbed onto
the stage at 9:30 to be greeted by a young gentlemen who asked me if I were
a pimp. I explained that this could be clearly discerned from my hugely
expensive wardrobe. Pleasantries out of the way, he promised to see who he
could find to set up the sound, but explained that everyone had gone to bed
very late the previous night.
Craig and Tilly plugged in a 10 and started to warm up by playing a
spontaneous blues number. They were promptly hushed by the stage manager who
explained that the licence in fact stated that there was do be no music
before 12 - so we were delayed an hour.
We went back to the van and enjoyed the sun, chatted to 'Womble' who was
running the local security, then at 11:30 went back to do the sound. As we
were first on, much of this activity consisted of the soundteam getting the
house drumkit right.
Then the soundteam asked a question which I shall remember for a long time:
'What do you want in your monitor?'
'Er, everything?' I retorted.
So at just after 12 we started - first time on a stage anything that size -
and all I could hear were my keyboards blasting out of the monitor and much
less loudly the bass from the stack and in the far distance a bit of guitar.
I couldn't hear Tim singing at all. I must confess this threw me; I'm used
to rehearsing in a small area to a balanced sound and I found this strange
mix very daunting indeed. However, Craig kept us all on track; he's an
astonishingly professional, proficient and cool musician. In the gig photos
my face is screwed up as I'm desperately trying to listen to the rest of the
band, and Craig is jumping around animatedly as he keeps us all in line.
Anyway, people clapped after each song and no-one wandered off. The wife,
Bernadette had not buried her head in her hands and one of our friends who'd
come all the way from Bournemouth to see us and who took the photos was
still smiling.
So we finished the set with a new one 'Dynamo', which I think went of quite
well, and I was pleased to see Rob Dreamworker write in his gig review 'good
effort', if not his kind of music.
Talking to the other bands and technicians, it seems that there were
problems with the monitors throught the day - it was certainly a learning
experience for me.
Playing at this event was a fantastic experience for us all, and especially
for drummer Matthew who was celebrating his 18th birthday. What could be
more memorable than this? I'm very grateful to Vinny and his team for making
it all possible.
Anyway, gig over, Tim and I decided it was time to Go Fishing big time. Paul
'Bloke from Gloucester' introduced himself and joined us and a convivial
and, in the spirit of things, hazy afternoon was passed in the beer tent,
around the stalls and listening to the music.
We visited the 2nd stage which was placed for some reason well away from the
rest of the site. The tramp across the barren wasteland of corn stubble left
me reluctant to go again - which turned out to be a shame because I believe
there were some very good bands playing.
On the mainstage, these stick out:
Shom sounded excellent as we packed away our gear backstage
Nukli were very good indeed.
Obedientbone, very enjoyable.
I'd heard a lot about Dream Machine and they lived up to expectations - very
proficiently delivered instrumental space rock
Tim Blake delivered an excellent set. Beautifully played and some of it, in
the light of his court case, very poignant.
I hadn't seen Here and Now for 28 years, and enjoyed their set - although,
as others have said, far less animated than I expected. I wonder if this was
down to on-stage sound problems?
Hawkwind - a very good set, similar to last year's tour with the exclusion
of Psychedelic Warlords and Angela Android. Perhaps the best version of
Uncle Sam's on Mars I've heard in over 20 years, with guest Mr Dibs intoning
the original Calvert lyrics from the PXR5 album - more relevant today than
they were 30 years ago. The Chaos Illuminations lightshow, always
spectacular, excelled itself with the backdrop to this song, combining shots
of the martian landscape with an advancing Uncle Sam. 'We're looking for
life - to stamp out - we're looking for life to grind out - we're looking
for life, so mind out.......we put stripes on the stars....' Indeed.
Having been on that stage myself I have an enormous respect for these
seasoned musicians - not only Hawkwind but many of the other bands who gave
an outstanding performance.
Speaking of outstanding performances, Sunday was brought to life by
Spacehead - perhaps one of the best sets of theirs I've seen. Many Spacehead
standards, including my favourite, Dark Star (I have the Krel tape). They
also did a storming version of The Right Stuff, within which was embedded
Song of the Gremlin. For the few who haven't heard the originals by the
lamented Bob Calvert, try and get a hold of Captain Lockheed and the
Starfighters. A classic and once again, very prescient concept album dealing
with arms sales and the seduction of the technology of death.
Other bands I saw - Litmus - astonishing. Very good indeed. I've seen them
several times now, and this was the best. A cracking, and sadly of course,
timely version of Astronomy Domine was one highlight - but there were
several also from their own material.
Underground Zero - very good indeed.
Grooveweird, fronted by the ubiquitous and versatile Vinny. How do they do
it? An amazingly good set. We were waiting to leave to catch a couple of
hours of daylight for our journey home but by popular request stayed to the
end of this.
Overall, a great weekend, great fun rehearsing for it, logistically
challenging as it was so far away, and I'm looking forward now to going back
to some studio noodling. Be nice to bands at festivals. They work really
hard.

A very good festival indeed; from a band point of view, this was excellently organised and ran very smoothly.
Musical high points (apart from the obvious one for me) were:
Grooveweird - stunning, aggressive, dancey space rock.
Dream Machine - lovely; excellent sounds for a hot afternoon
Underground Zero - great to see them storming it up on a big stage
Here & Now - especially the wonderfully improvised "Steffi Changes a String"
Tim Blake - a moving and thoughful set
Other high points:
Everything that happened in the Big Brother Gazebo (especially the various visitors who popped in over the weekend - big "hi" to Harvey, Joie, Jon, Richard, Kev, Chris etc).
Big Dave producing a perfectly made gin and tonic from the depths of his tent for me:).
The nice, pleasant attitudes of nearly all the bands towards people taking photographs etc while they were on stage.
Gary locking his car keys in his car boot; after 6 hours the guy from the garage still had not been able to open it!
Low Points:
The utterly farcical sight of certain people being deemed a "security risk" and asked to leave the back stage camping area and go to front of house when a certain band were playing.
The band that tried to stop people taking pictures of them on stage.
All in all, an excellent time:).

Eastern Haze
Hats off to organiser Vinny. I don't know what he does during the day for
the rest of the year, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were the logistics
director for a multinational. The sheer vision, energy, diplomacy and
co-ordination that went into Eastern Haze were clearly monumental. I had a
brief chat with him on Sunday as he flitted around the site and was
impressed by his good humour.
The festival site, camping and car parking covered several large fields.
There were several stages and a multitude of stalls. The stages had been set
far enough apart so that there was no sound pollution between one and the
other. The stalls consisted of a variety of food vendors, alternative
therapy practitioners, the Hare Krishnas (from whom I had a very palatable
vegetable stew), sculptors, tarot readers, clothiers of various kind, etc.
etc.
Numbers attending probably disappointed the organisers - at a rough estimate
I would say maybe 2-3 thousand, but that's just my impression.
We travelled down from Cheshire in two batches - a camper van hired for the
occasion piloted by me with the wife, sons Matthew and James (guitarist and
drummer) and a couple of their friends conscripted as roadies. Singer Tim,
guitarist Craig and bassist Tilly came down with the gear in a hired van
that looked as though its last hirer had used it in a stock car rally.
This was the first time I'd driven anything larger than a saloon car - so a
7 hour journey in a 5 berth camper van through some of the narrowest roads
in Britain was something of a challenge. I was pretty relieved to finally
reach the site at 9:15 on Friday evening.
Senser were playing as we wandered around the site - proficiently played and
those watching seemed to love it, but not my style - but my style isn't that
of many either! Senser sounded to me like a sort of spacey Beastie Boys. I
was sorry that we'd had to miss others, such as Tarantism whose blend of
celtic rock and techno really impressed me at the Hawkfest three years ago.
The real ale tent was most appreciated - we discovered 'Gone Fishing', which
has an ABV of 5.0%, and all the characteristic earthy heaviness of a real
ale that I knew was going straight to my waistline - it's still in evidence
as I type this on the sofa.
Clearly the local council had felt they'd stuck their neck out having this
event. A pair of policemen ambled around the site from time to time and
licensing restrictions were vigorously enforced by an army of t-shirted
security of various size and shapes - mainly large and daunting.
However, the atmosphere was such that the local power should have no
hesitation in running such an event again. I saw no trouble whatsoever and
everyone looked as though they were having a thoroughly great time.
The crowd covered a wide social span - from the clearly occasional festival
visitor to the dedicated alternative lifestyler.
Friday morning came, and we had been scheduled for 11am. So I climbed onto
the stage at 9:30 to be greeted by a young gentlemen who asked me if I were
a pimp. I explained that this could be clearly discerned from my hugely
expensive wardrobe. Pleasantries out of the way, he promised to see who he
could find to set up the sound, but explained that everyone had gone to bed
very late the previous night.
Craig and Tilly plugged in a 10 and started to warm up by playing a
spontaneous blues number. They were promptly hushed by the stage manager who
explained that the licence in fact stated that there was do be no music
before 12 - so we were delayed an hour.
We went back to the van and enjoyed the sun, chatted to 'Womble' who was
running the local security, then at 11:30 went back to do the sound. As we
were first on, much of this activity consisted of the soundteam getting the
house drumkit right.
Then the soundteam asked a question which I shall remember for a long time:
'What do you want in your monitor?'
'Er, everything?' I retorted.
So at just after 12 we started - first time on a stage anything that size -
and all I could hear were my keyboards blasting out of the monitor and much
less loudly the bass from the stack and in the far distance a bit of guitar.
I couldn't hear Tim singing at all. I must confess this threw me; I'm used
to rehearsing in a small area to a balanced sound and I found this strange
mix very daunting indeed. However, Craig kept us all on track; he's an
astonishingly professional, proficient and cool musician. In the gig photos
my face is screwed up as I'm desperately trying to listen to the rest of the
band, and Craig is jumping around animatedly as he keeps us all in line.
Anyway, people clapped after each song and no-one wandered off. The wife,
Bernadette had not buried her head in her hands and one of our friends who'd
come all the way from Bournemouth to see us and who took the photos was
still smiling.
So we finished the set with a new one 'Dynamo', which I think went of quite
well, and I was pleased to see Rob Dreamworker write in his gig review 'good
effort', if not his kind of music.
Talking to the other bands and technicians, it seems that there were
problems with the monitors throught the day - it was certainly a learning
experience for me.
Playing at this event was a fantastic experience for us all, and especially
for drummer Matthew who was celebrating his 18th birthday. What could be
more memorable than this? I'm very grateful to Vinny and his team for making
it all possible.
Anyway, gig over, Tim and I decided it was time to Go Fishing big time. Paul
'Bloke from Gloucester' introduced himself and joined us and a convivial
and, in the spirit of things, hazy afternoon was passed in the beer tent,
around the stalls and listening to the music.
We visited the 2nd stage which was placed for some reason well away from the
rest of the site. The tramp across the barren wasteland of corn stubble left
me reluctant to go again - which turned out to be a shame because I believe
there were some very good bands playing.
On the mainstage, these stick out:
Shom sounded excellent as we packed away our gear backstage
Nukli were very good indeed.
Obedientbone, very enjoyable.
I'd heard a lot about Dream Machine and they lived up to expectations - very
proficiently delivered instrumental space rock
Tim Blake delivered an excellent set. Beautifully played and some of it, in
the light of his court case, very poignant.
I hadn't seen Here and Now for 28 years, and enjoyed their set - although,
as others have said, far less animated than I expected. I wonder if this was
down to on-stage sound problems?
Hawkwind - a very good set, similar to last year's tour with the exclusion
of Psychedelic Warlords and Angela Android. Perhaps the best version of
Uncle Sam's on Mars I've heard in over 20 years, with guest Mr Dibs intoning
the original Calvert lyrics from the PXR5 album - more relevant today than

No Allen at the Astoria yesterday either. Eric said from the stage that he
is ill and would be getting treatment back in the States - although he
didn't elaborate.
This was the 3rd gig that I saw on this tour (Guilfest, Southampton and
London) - didn't get to see Astronomy at any of them - there was alot of
loud requesting for it. The Astoria set contained no encores as there was a
10:15 curfew. This was a bit of a shame as they could have come on earlier
and done a slightly longer set, but hey it was still an hour and a half ish
of BOC, and they spent quite a long time on the stage at the end of the set
thanking the crowd etc. Southampton was the best gig I saw - great venue
(like someone's front room) long set and some gems thrown in too - see you
in black, transmaniacon mc. All of the set lists from the current tour are
on www.hotrails.co.uk (except London which will eventually appear). This is
a great site.

Thanks for the response.... well, it was not the Eastern Haze, but it was a great, hot and successful evening. We have 60 paid people and about 20 others (with band members, bar help, etc..), which is about all the club can handle when it is hot like it was (over 30C in the club!). Anyway, FBFOS played a killer set including The Right Stuff by Calvert but no Hurry on Sundown like the last time I saw them. I guested on Synth on the whole set so it was a bit more spaced out but they played a great show, 77 mins. All was recorded.
Next, the OSC (Oresund Space Collective) played a second set. We played a 50min set before FBFOS. Our show was great and we had a really good vibe and feedback from the crowd who were getting more and more drunk and stoned as the night went on and we played a very psychedelic set. Synths are very high in the recording so it makes it more spaced out.... Great night.. you can hear the whole thing on the internet. The whole OSC set... Our site of www.archive.org
We are almost finished mixing our new double CD and will play at the malmofestivalen august 21st..

Well, Astronomy is fairly keyboard-heavy. I doubt EB could
handle the singing and keys for that one. BTW, in AL's
absence, is EB playing more keys or are they just avoiding
the keyboard stuff?

Are we talking about the same band here? B?C play a little

I saw them checking in people's wallets and stuff. In the end I decided
to always go to this one guy with my bag open, listing items: "camera;
mp3 player'; toilet roll; water..."
Eventually he got used to it and I got down to "The usual..." and he'd
just glance in my bag and wave me through.
My guess is that the festie wants an easy licence next year and
instructed the security to be polite but firm, which was pretty much how
it was except for the occasional prat who made a swearing match out of
it.
For my money I reckon that once their bar runs out of real ale, it
should be fair game to bring in your own, but there it is.

As far as I could tell, it'd have been easy to place a package under the
fence from the outside, out of sight of security, and then go collect it
once inside.
The whole country knows that we can't even keep drugs out of prison, and
they have total control there. It's impossible to stop any mildly
determined person from getting something into a festie without going for
the whole Stalag 13 setup they have at Glasters, and that is VERY VERY
expensive.
Good festie, but they badly need the Germans to teach them how to deal
with the toilets. Hoover 'em, hose 'em and polish 'em every hour, 24/7.
It's the only way, and I know more people who won't come to festivals
because of the toilets than for any other reason. If they want profits,
they gotta shovel some shit.

I saw one guy busted at the gates for some kinda stash. They offered "we
confiscate or we call the cops and they confiscate - you choose..." He
made a stupid fuss and the cops were called to bust him. No violence
though and I didn't even hear of any nicking from tents. Definitely a
very easy-going atmosphere.

Don't know about London or Nottingham, but EB didn't play that much keys
at Manchester; I think they're avoiding the keyboard-heavy stuff.
Don't forget that Allen (when well) probably spends more time on guitar
than keyboards anyway.

This is true, also Allen did a pretty good guitar solo in LDoM - I'm sure

Hi Allan
Well, they *are* both new (as of this year) releases, but neither contains
anything new. The Collection is simply a new compilation of tracks taken
from the EMI releases, whilst Live 74 is a stripped-down version of the 1999
Party double-CD (also on EMI).
Hope that helps.
Dave

I realise that these are not new albums, but I was wondering if anyone can
give me any information about these 2 CD's. I have looked at Starfarers
Website but can't find any reference to them. I'm sure they have both been
released before but...
They are both on eBay.com.au

Late to the party as so often these days, but since I've finally
got round to listening to this, I have to chime in and say, this is a
far stronger set than I would have hoped for if I'd managed to get to
Roadburn myself. Rearrangements of several well-worn numbers, especially
`Right Stuff' but not just, and a mercifully short `Assassins'.
Generally it's just a full-strength high-impact performance and one the
band could justifiably be proud of, one of those special sets we're
lucky to have captured like _California Brainstorm_. If this does come
out on CD there'll be songs here that haven't been recorded live since
1973 or 1974, too, which is a definite bonus.
I also have to champion Real Alternative, which I found here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm
Running as a browser plugin, that took me about a minute to install,
there's only 10Mb or so of it, and it it `just works', instantly, no
reboot required. On my creaky old machine Real Player's always been a
no-no partly because it's proprietary, but mainly because it's bloated,
huge and wouldn't run fast enough to be worth using. No such problems
here, so that's me happy. Yours,
Jon

Message-ID: <FRI.28.JUL.2006.045152.0400.BOCL@LISTSERV.ISPNETINC.NET>
[Thanks to Don Falcone for the following]
Drummer Mychael Merrill (born Michael Wayne Merrill on December 29th,
1963) died of cancer on Friday, July 7th, 2006, at the age of 42.
Mychael was a founding member of San Francisco space rock and
psychedelic band Melting Euphoria. He was the drummer for their 1994
self-released debut ?Through The Strands of Time? and their entire CD
catalog on Cleopatra Records. He was also the drummer for all their live
appearances, including opening for Ozric Tentacles at San Francisco?s
legendary Fillmore Theatre.
In 2002, Mychael started Fireclan with two former Melting Euphoria
members. They released ?Electric Sunrise, Acoustic Sunset? in 2004.
From 1999 to 2006, he contributed drums and percussion as an ongoing
crewmember to three CDs by the Spirits Burning space rock collective,
and as a guest on CDs by Weird Biscuit Teatime and Quiet Celebration.
Music was the core of Mychael?s life and his drums not only defined his
personality, but also brightened the lives of young and old for many
years. Mychael?s music and his drum therapy classes in Marin and Sonoma
brought joy and respite to more people than he would ever realize.
Mychael?s many years of teaching preschool in the two counties brought
him the greatest fans ever ? the very young and his fellow teachers.
Mychael is survived by his wife Jessica, their son Jace, and his three
stepchildren ? Robert, Michael Austin, and Emily. Mychael is also
survived by his grandfather/pop Gene Merrill and his mom Linda
Giacomini, stepbrothers Andrew and Antony, and stepdad Gary Giacomini.

Message-ID: <FRI.28.JUL.2006.212502.0400.BOCL@LISTSERV.ISPNETINC.NET>
I had sweat away several pounds of life by the time they took a bow after
"Burning For You." In the interim, it stuck me that the crowd gathered at
the front of the stage might well have been the entire arena. It was huge.
All were extremely pleased and guzzling the myriad liquid refreshments on
offer.
The short respite ended when we entered "the Black and White Set" --- The
Regal Tones were refreshed and sporting thin black ties, white button down
shirts, black pants and shoes. Wasting no time, they launched into a
full-fledged Beatles onslaught. I've always been lukewarm when it came to
John, Paul ,George and Ringo's output. Years of FM over-exposure,
overly-rabid adulation and too many incomprehensible pop crimes in their
solo careers left me only with a respect for their 'contribution to
rock'n'roll.
Tonight, all that changed.
Like the first set, I cannot remember all the songs performed. I know
"Daytripper" (woohoo!), " We Can Work It Out", "The Night Before", "Help!"
(and it came down heavy and fast, outrocking the studio track 1000 to 1),
"Twist and Shout", "Love Me Do" (Albert on harmonica and drums
simultaneously. Very tough!), "Things We Said Yesterday", "A Hard Days
Night" -- complete with the cool opening wash of feedback and the nifty
guitar fadeout were standouts in memory and at the time, There were at
least four more tunes, each as cool as the rest.
The British Invasion continued and the audience joyfully surrendered to the
Big British Beat as Albert delivered those that pre-break drum fill in "For
Your Love," as well as the snappy snare drum rat-a-tat in "You Really Got
Me." "Secret Agent Man" and "Hang on Sloopy" followed up the rear in all
their rockin' majesty.
You might be asking, "...But what of the Stones, J? What of the
Stones?" Fear not, for two of their many 45s were played -- my paradigm
for what a guitar can do, "The Last Time", sent me into a frenzy as it
should rightly do. It's ugly twin brother, "Satisfaction" included a
hummingbird-speed bass drum fill by Monsieur Bouchard made their bad selves
present at the Dance.
As they did with Set One, Set Two concluded with Spectres' resident
monster. Tonight, "Godzilla" wore a thin black tie,"Topsy (Part Two))"s
drum solo, and the usual percussive excellence we know radioactive lizard
masks can bestow upon their wearer (or something like that). Although
closing with 'zilla.. the crowd called out for more. "(Don't Fear) The
Reaper" was our present for finding and creating the night's vibes. 'Twas
an old friend this song, still in good shape and displaying all the signs
of a well-earned classic status. Unlike the usual BOC shows, the Big 3's
presence was not expected, but they were very welcome. I think they sound
better without expecting 'em. There was one other song I don't know. They
specifically played it for the woman who organized the whole shebang. She
and her husband joined the 'Tones on stage with merry abandon.
After encore two ("Satisfaction"), the song to end all encores hit the
stage,"Good Night Sweetheart, Good Night." Their a capella version bade us
fare well, as tradition commanded, and the assembled mass staggered home,
exhausted from the groove. Rightly so, the band's final bows were like the
embrace given by civilians to GIs on VE and VJ Day.
To put it all another way: tonight was the first time my parents and I
enjoyed the same concert.
It was one for the books.

(This is it, boys and girls. I figured I had no right to be stingy with the
adjectives for a concert as rare as this'un. Enjoy. Feedback always greatly
appreciated. - Jason)
3 hours before the show I was sitting in a restaurant's patio dining space
with my parents. The table to the right of us had five people gathered
'round it, deep in reminiscing-mode about the bands they saw in high
school. My ears zoomed in like radar as soon as I heard the words "Albert"
"Elks Club" "Joe" "Regal-Tones" became a part of the dialogue. That was
really cool, im my mind, 'cause the where/when of my youth didn't have
anything similar besides CDs and LPS of strangely named groups like BOC,
Popol Vuh, Procol Harum, and the like. Appreciating Albert and Joe's
musical efforts was always a game of 'catch-up' or, in the case of the
Brain Surgeons, something like commuting. I have to come out of the capital
district 'burbs to the big city of NYC on my ownsome.
But the Regal-Tones,by way of this eaves-dropped conversation, made what I
love (music) have a context in which said passion could be at ease. Or in
the lingo of the spirit of the age, it was 'A Happening'.
The Barn Dance was just that.History and the present merrily dropped their
temporal facaded to BOOGIE ON DOWN.
Some faces familiar to me from the crowd at BOC/tBS shows were in
attendance, as was Deborah Frost. 'Twas good to catch up with Albert and
Deb in the pre-show glow of anticipation. As Albert said, "It's gonna be a
wild night," and boy was he right.
An opening band played a satisfying brace of Cajun-inflected Blues, like
"Caledonia," to a small but dancing group of women and men on the dance
floor. A good omen!
Punctually, the Regal Tones took to the stage, ready for battle with
Pendleton-styled, buttoned short sleeve shirts.
Joe predominantly played keyboard, alternating to the guitar as needed by
the song. More importantly, he acted as the impresario for the night. His
command of the stage impressed me immensely, as I've only watched Joe in
action at the Billy Hilfiger Memorial Show. Maybe it was the setting and
show type (that was more of a 'festival' of different acts), but I think
having a proper band and set for the entire night gave Joe the chance to
charm the audience with his song introductions and tales of Regal Glory.
This is the best guess at the set. In my mind, it fell together
thematically. True to the times in which the found inspiration,
they played several instrumentals: "Sleepwalk," "Walk, Don't Run,"
"Tequila," "Raunchy," and "Green Onions." What impressed me 'bout these
was how well the two guitarist sounded in unison. The sax in "Raunchy,"
too, had an appealing force to it. Excellent. Albert's
faithful atomic-clock-backbeat in :Green Onions" made time tight.
The songs with words were many and they were raucous. "Louie, Louie" was
happily performed with Albert steppin' out on lead guitar and vocals while
the band's other guitarist manned the drummer's stool. Very cool. "Bonie
Maroney" (is that spelling right?) had Albert on lead vocals while
drumming, too. The first set's undisputable highlight, WITHOUT A DOUBT, was
the band's run through "What'd I Say (parts 1 and 2)." The Crowd danced and
moaned itself into the rock'n'roll moment. On the stage, Joe's riffage on
the 88s was worthy of Ray and Albert swung a Big, Bad Beat. In the latter
third of the set was the group's Beach Boys trilogy. Joe's explanation of
diggin' the similarity in their personell to the Regal Tones(brothers and
cousins), mutual enjoyment of rock and roll, and affection for the warm
Clayton sun helped me see why the 'Tones popped some Surf into their
sets. They played "Californian Girls" (with the symphonic intro done on
guitar!), "Surfing, USA", and a song about T-birds. (I should know the name
of this song! Argh! Alas, I've never been a Beach Boys fan. That came in
handy, since I took the time to be merciful to myself by resting for Act
Two). Also in the tumult the Immortal "Johnny B Goode" made an
appaearance. Joe definitely played the guitar like he was ringin' a bell.
Oh Yeah! And earlier in the set, he also gave The Killer's"Whole Lotta
Shakin' Goin On" that wasn't fakin' at all.
By the way, they closed the first set with "Burning For You." It was TIGHT
and heavy and poppy and great. I can now say I've heard all the members of
BOC play the Big 3 live, in one configuration or another. The crowd's on
flame with rock and roll and Joe's fretwork adds fuel to the fire during
that gem of a song. The song bounced with attitude I've missed in other
live attempts.
I had sweat away several pounds of life by the time they took a bow after
"Burning For You." In the interim, it stuck me that the crowd gathered at
the front of the stage might well have been the entire arena. It was huge.
All were extremely pleased and guzzling the myriad liquid refreshments on

Hi Folks...
Below is the announcement from Voiceprint for the upcoming Beduoin live CD. It also mentions a new studio album to come. Is that something previously recorded with the old guitarist, or something from the "new" band (forget the name already), I wonder?
Also, by request from Walter at Roadburn, who has his own online 'zine in addition to the annual festival, I've written a 'Cosmic Tour Guide' to Space Rock, which is now available at http://www.roadburn.com/frames.html by clicking on 'Overview' and then 'Read More' under the proper heading. Note that it is broken up into three sections (link to parts two and three at the top of each page, in sequence), as I tend to go on at some length. Most of you might not learn much here, but perhaps if you've got time to kill...
Also, let me know if there are any factual errors. It was all written from virtual memory. As far as I can remember.

Bedouin was the band founded by long time Hawkwind bassist Alan Davey. The drummer in the band was Danny Thompson jr. also another member of the Hawkwind family having played drums for the band on a number of releases and tours.
The band was named following the release of Davey?s debut solo album Bedouin in 2003. The album was recorded and released during a short break from Hawkwind by Alan Davey. Having released the album the band hit the road on tour. The band wee dubbed alternatively a Psychedelic Motorhead or a straight ahead rock band with Arabic influences. Whatever the description the band were a popular attraction on the live circuit.
This live album was recorded in 2003 and features the full set from the band which is loaded with Hawkwind favourites including Urban Guerrilla, Orgone Accumulator, Sonic Attack and Silver Machine.
This previously unreleased live album will be followed by another studio album from Bedouin. In the meantime Alan Davey continues to be a core member of Hawkwind and has taken part in the recent successful albums released by the band and has also contributed to the forthcoming album from Hawkwind in the summer of 2006.
Extremely Live 2003 will no doubt appeal to fans of Bedouin but also the large and devoted Hawkwind fan base which stretches across the world ...and beyond.

The Review: Still rocking ? and still naff
David Pollock
Blue Oyster Cult, The Ferry, Glasgow, Tue
Usually when old bands of a particular vintage come around to play again,
there is a certain level of nudging and winking between those on stage and
their audience. ?We know we looked and sounded kind of daft all those years
ago,? their demeanour implies, ?but you were young with us, weren?t you?
You understood what it was all about.?
Blue Oyster Cult?s knowing asides and smirking glances at each other
indicate that they are all too aware of how open to parody they are. Their
thinking must be: if anyone?s going to make money from it, it might as well
be us.
It?s difficult to imagine when you look at the embarrassing richness of
theme and genre in popular music today, but once Blue Oyster Cult were
considered cutting-edge. Kind of like an American riposte to Black Sabbath,
they married a few meaty guitar riffs to some luddite goth poetry and sold
by the barrowload. Nice work if you can get it, but when does such youthful
foolishness grow tired? Apparently never, at least for longtime Blue Oyster
Cult members Eric Bloom, Allen Lanier and Buck Dharma (or Donald Roeser as
his mother named him).
Another tacitly accepted truth of classic bands is that the most successful
look least like their own road crew.
So, while you couldn?t imagine Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger getting their
hands dirty, Bloom and Dharma are hard to distinguish from the guys tuning
up onstage before they appear.
Only with their sunglasses on ? The Ferry has exterior windows, but we?re
hardly blinded by the glare ? do the Cultists make a stab at adopting a
rock-star persona. Their much younger bassist, Richie Castellano, follows
their lead with the facial furniture and plays while wearing a retching
expression that suggests he may have food lodged in his throat. Despite the
urge to offer a Heimlich manoeuvre, his gurning, duckwalking enthusiasm is
a nice balance to the elder members of the band?s seen-it-all-before
nonchalance.
As for the music, it takes a sense of humour to appreciate. Then Came the
Last Days of May, says Bloom,
is a true story about some guys from New York who rented a car and drove
out west to buy some drugs. There, he says, they ?met a fate they didn?t
deserve?.
It?s an appropriately foreboding song, but with stumbling lyrics such as:
?They all had the money they had/ Money they hoped would take them very far.?
This Ain?t the Summer of Love includes the line, ?This ain?t the garden of
Eden/There ain?t no angels above?, and it?s one of many references to
angels, demons and fantastical tableaus that wouldn?t appear out of place
in a Michael Moorcock novel.
For those not overly impressed by such dope-shrouded musings, the music
outweighs the naff lyrics by at least a 2:1 ratio. That?s thanks to the
customary five-minute guitar solo at the end of every other song, as Bloom
and Castellano hilariously strafe the crowd with imaginary machine-gun fire
from their instruments. Truly, Blue Oyster Cult world is a boy?s playground.
Still, Godzilla is at least meant to be humorous ? with its meaty ?there
goes Tokyo? chorus ? while the obligatory (Don?t Fear) The Reaper was Blue
Oyster Cult?s one stumble across a great song.
In the pompously titled Golden Age of Leather, however, another dodgy lyric
stands as the most revealing: ?Raise your can of beer on high/And seal your
fate forever/Our best years have passed us by/The golden age of leather.?
I?ll drink to that.

You have to remember that the review sections of the broadsheets are
where NME hacks go to die.
UK music journalists have been collectively full of shit since the late
70s, if not earlier. All of them are programmed with the same
groupthink, and they are a 100% negative influence on the UK music
scene, massively hyping the latest flavour of the month talentless
drivel, and ignoring or sarcastically dismissing the good stuff out there.

No. Read the review again. This guy clearly doesn't have any interest
whatsoever in the actual music, he only cares about style and attitude,
and lyrics that are deeply symbolic of man's struggle against his
socio-political environment.
This 'review' is typical of the groupthink of British music journalism.
It's the reason anything with any depth of musical content is
marginalised in Britain. It's the reason there's huge exposure to
pseudo-intellectual poseurs like Franz Ferdinand, or self-destructive
idiots like Pete Docherty. It's the reason why many British bands that
actually produce good music are more popular in The Netherlands than
they are in Britain.

I'm long past expecting that from a reviewer. And compared to the other
reviews I've failed not to read, I found this one kind of funny.
And sometimes the reviewers even have a point: remarks like "they sound like
they did in '76" isn't always A Good Thing (TM).

What you really hope for is that the band would
maintain the enthusiasm for music and performing that
they had as a young band. I sometimes think that one
of the things that drags down bands who have had giant
monster hits, is the resulting virtual enslavement to
playing those songs night after night for years on end.

Definately true. The enthusiasm and performance in the Regal Tones' 'Burning for
You' blew away, for example, A Long Day's Night's rendition. Given the
increasingly large guitar solo spots, I think they might do well to revive
"donovan's monkey" and things like that from SWU as it fits that 'jamming' mode
moreso than the present "Then Came the Last Days of May." It loses focus to me
with two soloists (Lanier n' Roeser).
A fun fact-speculation:
Has BOC EVER played a show (post Agents) without Reaper during past 25 years.
J.
PS: They play , with an Alvin-Lee-less Ten Years After, in Albany's space-age
Empire Plaza on Wednesday. I wonder how it'll be (for both bands. I quite
enjoyed TYA's "Undead" album). I woke up this morning with "Old Gods Return"
playing in the mental jukebox... which is odd because I can't stand the
repetitiveness of the chorus.
I'll post show review 'n' comments.

The one exception was Max Bell (?) who worked for the NME in the mid 70s. I
think he must have been a fan. I can't remember whether it was his or Sandy
Robertson's (Sounds) spread on BOC in '75/76 that got me interested.

BOC have the 'advantage' that they've only had three hits (in Britain,
it's only really one), which, combined with a strong back catalogue of
album tracks, means they've got a lot of opportunity to mix things up to
prevent things getting too stale. On British shows they could quite
easily get away without playing 'Burning for You', since it was never a
hit over here. Not even sure whether they put it out as a single.
OTOH, a band like Journey with many more standards solved the problem by
going on lengthy hiatus multiple times.

Sandy Robertson of Sounds was a big fan. In the late 70s Sounds was
actually worth reading as it wasn't punk uber alles like the other rags
were at the time.

The TYA band with the new guitarist in tow, really rocks - the last couple
of albums were gems - but prob doomed to extinction now, without Lee -
shame, coz they're a tighter band.
Incidentally, there's a superb CD just come out of Blue O Cult called "The
Singles Collection" or something like that (I'm not in front of the work
computer) - all prev rel stuff (I guess) but a great set of tracks for a
really cheap price.

It was a live review in Sounds that startedd me off back then - when I read
about what the band did in ME-262, I just had to find more. First album I
got hold of was "Tyranny" which a friend had, as he'd cottoned onto the band
right from the start - and I was thrilled but a bit disappointed too - I
wanted more power but they were great songs - eventually getting the "On
Your Feet" album which Sounds hailed as a landmark double live album (at the
time the "double live album" was a metal band's requisite offering) and is
still hot to this day although I still think that's not powerful enough - a
fact confirmed when I saw the band support Kiss at Manchester - now THAT was
a night!!! I hope when they remaster the "On Your Feet" album - assuming
they do - that at last I'll have a great CD document of that era band live.

I noticed that as well, after I had finally bothered to closely read through what I had just posted. :) And that started to make me wonder why it also said "Disc One" for the tracklisting I forwarded from the original Voiceprint page. Perhaps it is to be a two-CD package with the HW 'covers' on Disc Two?
Nope. Perhaps it was planned (?), so that the description was referring to the intended second disc, but it is clear from the following site that it will only be the single CD.
