Hawkwind - Silver Machine - (Live at the Gaumont Theate, Ipswich, UK, 1984)

HAWKWIND hawks
10 silver machine
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 Dr.Who's least convincing episodes, Turner wanders around the stage like a maniac, motormouthing his way through what is a truly impressive set of some of Hawkwind's best material. The additional lasergraphics and wild editing could not have been more suitable. Prepare yourself for an audio/visual Brainstorm.

I was at this Gig every time you saw Nick Turner on stage he would have a completely different look during the 80,s

[@johnnyssik]

Nic is now riding in a chariot with the God's.
God speed Thunder Rider
✨💫🌟💫

[@SandraMcCalip]

We are loving you in the U.S.
We love Hawkwind

[@TheOmanJam]

Nik is one crazy dude. I love Huwie's guitar.

[@johnnyssik]

We lost Nic. God speed Thunder Rider ✨💫🌟

[@howardmaryon]

The favourite band of Michael Moorcock, the British scifi author... they crop up in his novels. Nik can’t manage the screaming falsetto of the past, but he and the boys are still a great entertainment.

[@timd1230a]

I was there .... great memory from a different time

[@allenhays5126]

I was there. It was a truly awful night. I remember the group of bikers or whatever at the back just pissin themselves. Cheering from the three front rows. Hope things have changed

[@EinarEle]

So weird, I've just found myself on this video from 38 years ago.

[@smileysatanson3404]

tbh Lemmys voice suited better to this song... not just cause im a big fan of lemmy but really his voice had more power in itself

[@superlucasgaming5645]

I agree

[@keithmcmecking729]

Its a shame in a way that Lemmy left ( or got fired) and did his own thing . I love what he did in Hawkwind more than Motorhead.

Nik Turner had no business leaving the 70's - the dude is seriously screwed. How Brock and the others ever put up with him is a complete mystery....

[@manuelalayo511]

Nik was unique

[@johnnyssik]

Nic👽

[@davyhenry8985]

Nice but I prefer Lemmy's version better.

[@SidBish1]

I was at this gig - used to seriously cringe every time I realized that Nik was going to be appearing - he was good in the 70's, but abysmal thereafter .......

[@beelzeboss9631]

then what was the song they were playing there at the beginning of the video, every time I manage to find it, it slips away from me, I need to know the name

[@marcusalexandersquires8379]

21st cenchory.

[@beelzeboss9631]

Trying to find the name of that damn song at the beginning

[@zippymufo9765]

Nik Turner, the most annoying and least valuable member of Hawkwind 😆

[@karlpriede3893]

Post punk.

[@johnkyne4424]

OH DEAR THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'VE BEEN WITH MI 6 FOR THE DURATION.. WELL FINK MEEE..

[@mcwulf25]

The real story is how great (presumably) Huw's guitar playing was. But Nik gets all the camera 🙄

[@uncleambient]

Truly abysmal, I love Nik Turner but he always messes up Silver Machine

[@neonskyline1]

Usual Brockwind crap, love Nik though

[@SidBish1]

Nik seriously screwed up this gig and reduced it to laughable status ...... cringeworthy

[@neonskyline1]

@@SidBish1 this ain't as bad as the out of the shadows one i was at in Newcastle, no wonder Brock tried to stop bootleg videos of it

[@WaggerFakker]

Without Lemmy 🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

[@paulryan3951]

He can’t sing. Gimme the mic…

[@rockfan3299]

what was this, a Sex Pistols warm up group? garbage

[@leecomber1062]

knowing john lydon he'd probs like this coz he likes suff that expressive but musically shit lol

[@Plexpara]

Wait a Second..the early Start Synth sequence was used in "acen ~ window in the sky" also as start

[@user-qb4bu9gp1j]
