Hawkwind - Live 1984-1995 DVD

Chronicle Of The Black Sword: The success of Hawkwind during the 1970s allowed them the privilege of meeting many of the artists and writers who had influenced them. Most prominent of these was sci-fi writer Michael Moorcock whose sword and sorcery 'Elric' series had been the primary source for the bands' Chronicle Of The Black Sword' album. Filmed in December 1985 at the Hammersmith Odeon this DVD does more than justice to what was a truly epic performance from the undisputed kings of acid-rock overkill. Packed with suitably obscure psychedelic images and bizarre... OTT stage antics also included is the four number encore where Moorcock performs on stage with the band. Tracklist: 1.Song of the Swords 2. Sea King 3. Master of the Universe 4. Choose Your Masques 5. Needlegun 6. Zarozinia 7. Lords of Chaos 8. Brainstorm 9. Moonglum 10. Elric the Enchanter 11. Magnu 12. Horn of Destiny 13. Coded Languages 14. Born To Go 15. Utopia 16. Levitation Night Of The Hawks: Recorded live at the Gaumont Theatre Ipswich in spring 1984 this superb film of the 'Hawks' features their most eccentric of front men Nik Turner in fine form. Resembling a creation from one of Doctor Who's least convincing episodes Turner wanders around the stage like a maniac motor-mouthing his way through what is a truly impressive set of some of Hawkwind's best material. The additional laser graphics and wild editing could not have been more suitable. Prepare yourself for an audio/visual brainstorm! Tracklist: 1. Ghost Dance 2. Watching The Grass Grow 3. Dream Worker 4. Ejection 5. The Island 6. Uncle Sam's On Mars 7. Brainstorm 8. Sonic Attack 9. Psi Power 10. Silver Machine Love In Space: Love in Space was shot during Hawkwind's Alien 4 tour in 1995 and is comprised of the highlights taken from four venues - Liverpool Royal Court Manchester Academy Bristol Colston Hall and Brixton Academy London. It shows the band at their most creative and over the top with then front man Ron Tree wearing a vast array of bizarre costumes designed specially for the tour alongside various performance artists. The band are paired down to a four piece but have lost none of the raw power one associates with archetypal Hawkwind as they rip through numbers both old and new including some true classics. With the advantage of digitally re-mastered sound you not only get to see Hawkwind at their most outrageous you also get to hear them exactly as they should be heard - loud and proud! Tracklist: 1. Abducted 2. Death Trap 3. Wastelands 4. Are You Losing Your Mind 5. Photo Encounter 6. Blue Skin 7. Sputnik Stan 8. Robot 9. Alien I Am 10. Xenomorph 11. Vega 12. Love In Space 13. Kapel 14. Elfin 15. Silver Machine 16. Welcome 17. Assassins [show more]
