I met Dave Brock and Harvey Bainbridge on the live 79' tour at Bradford whilst watching the support band. It made my night - it was my 2nd time I'd seen them and I was only 14. Now 42 years I still love them. Long live the Hawks!
The 1st time I ever heard this band was the 1st time I smoked pot at 14 in 1972 & In Search Of Space was put on at a massive volume on a dynamic system. The thought came to mind "This is the music I've always wanted to hear but never have". I've been travelling with Hawkwind in all it's incarnations ever since. No matter what's on the turntable if the trip starts hitting it has to be changed to 'Space Ritual"'!~
This takes me back thirty years, when Hawkwind used to take me to different dimensions and allow me free passage through space and time. It still works today. PURE MAGIC.

Amazing performance, especially of Arrival In Utopia. Brock is a genius as always, with a golden voice from outer space, but what really makes this show special is the presence and contribution of the mighty Harvey Bainbridge. He adds so much more than his magnificent keyboards: backing vocals, atmospheric spoken word, just great. I wish this was properly released. Oh, and Simon House, his ingredient takes this to another dimension, just stellar! Onward flies the bird... Thankyou. Time to take another spin around Earth...
@NM6: Love the comment. DikMik & Dettmar bona fides stated & appreciated, but Bainbridge's skills replicated their stuff & his own personality added even more. Also, House's violin too of course.
Funny I thought the same thing during that one part - “Hey It’s Dave singing !! Not so bad after all , haha ... that mid section was always ruined for me with that other voice - I thought it was Ron Tree ... much better with Brock Hugely !!
Glad it was recorded so we can all enjoy it now i'd love to hear Dave sing more but lets face it he is 74 and that he's still touring twice a year at least blows me away and i'll take what I can from the Captain his guitar playing is what I love to hear now and its a Bonus when he does sing. Looking forward to this new album very much indeed and the tour that's coming up, i'll be doin quite a few of those gigs ;)
I saw this years ago and regretted not taping it - now finally its here - i thank you so much - Silver Machine is amazing... what a great concert for TV
As I kid, I used to listen the The Osmonds, The Partridge Family and such. Around 1975, my older brother brought home Space Ritual Live. I did a 360 musically.
Thankyou Hawkwind for the decades of free flight. And thanx Hawkwindbootleg for bringing us this great moment in space time. Why hasnt this popped up on my youtube feed before?! I have to wonder what else is hiding out there?
I've been listening to hawkwind since I was 18 and now I'm 55 and I've been lucky enough to have seen about 8 times and they are the most underrated band around!!! the first time I heard them was when I was at a friend's house and we had taken LSD and he put on levitation and I swear that I was floating up on the ceiling!!! they have taken me on so many journeys!! it's a shame that time waits for no one and they have lost many members!! they are remembered for ever...rip Lemmy...rip Nik turner....rip Huw Lloyd Langton and rip all the others I haven't mentioned... long live Dave Brock who is still at the helm of the space ship hawkwind!!! I will follow them until I shake off this mortal coil!!! for me the best band ever!!!👏👏👏🙏🙏👌💪👍👽👽👽👽🤪❤️❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
As a kid growing up in Edinburgh, Arrival in Utopia was always a crowd favourite. That crowd volume down on the floor was stunning. My all time favourite track.
I love this set. Stumbled on to it years ago. The ABC comes in for a fair bit of flack these days, but they are the only channel in the last 3~4 decades that would put a show (Studio 22) like this on TV.
met a couple of the audience from this in a queue to see The Fall in Sydney last year - they still talk about it with the hugest grins :) Important note - always wear your HW t-shirts when seeing other bands far away
Hadn't seen this for a very long time. Great. They are amazing now too. Check out the vids from Hawkeaster 2018. On one that is 32.26mins long has an amazing rendition of Down through the night. IMO the best version since the albums in the 70's. Really! And Mr. Dibs is on vocals. He'sin cracking form these days! Our Capt. knows what he's doing.
Its weird, Harvey never looks very busy on stage but man does he know how to make beautiful sounds, his touch is all over that Free Fall. Fantastic, shame he and Dave couldn't work together again. 🤞🖖
A professional musician has to eat too y'know ... Seems Brock always ate first & everyone else got the scraps - if there were even any left over. What I read, in that Saga Of Hawkwind book, this Aussie/NZ tour ran outta money BEFORE it even got started. The music still gold tho for sure ...
The sharp eared among you will have noted that all their echo machines were running backwards as a consequence of being in the Southern Hemisphere. The faux- coriolis effect. Vulcans or otherwise you are.
@@gdutfulkbhh7537 the original 7" single vocal was Ian Kilmister yeah Lemmy. S. McManus was Dave Brock's wife Sylvia, Brock and Calvert penned the song but Dave had to use his wife's name for royalty tax reasons.. i believe
@jc: Think the announcer guy meant the fanbase mindset - peace & love & LOTS of acid. ;-) L/T Hawkbut but never got into the Dead so just my 2 cents tho ...
Love how Dave cut Bainbridge off immediately and said that the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane 'never influenced us whatsoever' and spoke about krautrock instead. He's telling the truth - I met Dave Brock in 1981 and even then he urged me to listen to Neu!
I think the bottom line is ...every individual that took part in Hawkwind over the years , all had their own favourites and major influences. So yes , early Hawkwind (pre Bainbridge years of 77 onwards) were influenced by the likes of Neu and Can from Germany and themselves would have helped influence the Krautrock scene too. Then you had the likes of Robert Calvert who joined as a poet but turned into their most amazing song writer of all. Then Lemmy who went onto form Motorhead. And from the start too, Nik Turner had his own styles. These are just a few examples of how diverse Hawkwind was and is. Hawkwind and all the offshoot bands that casme from them have put out an amazingly diverse and inluencial amount of music and powerful lyrics.
Thank you, very interesting, good quality recording... I didn't know that one Steven Taylor had been part of the line-up on bass, ... It's before Davey came back ... but there's still Jerry Richards, and Simon House, whose input has always been precious in Hawkwind... They should have done some studio recordings with him at that time.. instead the releases were fairly poor, like In Your Area (one of the worst, mish-mashed albums they ever made). Harvey Bainbridge was back and is quite heavily featured... it wasn't going to last for long, alas.
I'm a brit and I was in oz that year, gutted because the band were over in the east coast and I was too far in the west. Oh well. Saw them in 2002 in Northampton instead.
Funny how Harv, just bites his lip when Dave totally cuts him off in mid-sentence and contradicts what he’s just said. If you listen carefully, you can JUST here Dr Bainbridge SEETHING! (and i don’t blame him!). 😉👽🏴☠️🕉✌️🤘
Yeah think HB & DB had a, "brotherly love" kinda thing. ;-) Older bro younger bro style. Brock musta hired fired & rehired Harvey a dozen times 'cos he KNEW how good Harvey was but ... Harvey kept coming back, too.
I can see: Dave Brock (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Richard Chadwick (drums), Harvey Bainbridge (vocals, synths), Jerry Richards (lead guitar), Simon House (violin), Steve Taylor (bass), Kris Tait (fire dancer). The line up would change again in 2001.
At las a voice of reason ,dibs is terrible,they need a good frontman a good solid rock guitarist like huw and get the 2 girls back who made and danced in those amazing costumes,love utopia wot a tune,jus never let that awful dibs sing it
¹ silver machine ² arrival in utopia/spoken word.... ³ interview bainbridge/brock.... ⁴ love in space/rat race/love in space ⁵ interview brock ⁶ freefall
Dibs got booed big time in Scotland ,i find him boring to watch as he jus stands there posing in his shades,cant sing and mutders calverts stuff,ive played alongside em on several occasions and what im hearing from fans is he has to play bass or whatever he did tho thats doubtful as haz does it now,now haz is a different kettle altogether ,great to watch and bloody good
It too me a minute to understand the end of your sentence then realised it was the drugs. Yours or mine, I'm not sure. Good luck. Whichever one of us it is.
+Valhalla Cold Wind You haven't got a clue. Mr Dibs is an engaging, multi-talented frontman and a great asset to the band. Hawkwind are on fire at the minute and Dibs is leading from the front. Get real.
+mattthetoadlicker I know what classic Hawkwind is & it ain't the lineup with this Dibs guy. It happens, many of the once great bands have lesser known & not particularly suited, fill in musicians in their current lineups! Watered down versions, yes i would definitely put it like that! Still respect the Captain though, for all he has done for the Wind. Also Chadwick & Blake. Some remnants of the past lineups, keeps it viable I suppose! Like anything, it will end one day!
Valhalla Cold Wind We'll have to agree to disagree, then. I have seen Hawkwind 3 times in the last 9 months and they were as good as ever with Dibs performing excellently throughout. He's a great asset and a lovely guy, too. You're right though, the Ship will land and never take to space again, but that day is not today, thankfully. Onwards flies the bird...
+mattthetoadlicker I know I shouldn't be comparing lineups, it is not a good way to justify liking or disliking of something. You are talking from a more realistic perspective than me, as you are attending concerts. Out here in Oz, that opportunity doesn't happen often. This Australian tour in 2000 was an exception though. Other wise all I have to go on is live clips online. Not the best way to enjoy a Hawkwind (or any other artists) experience! Cheers.
This line up got slagged off but I really liked it, Jerry is a top guitar player and with Simon House there were 2 potential lead instruments so they could pretty much play anything from their career. I never dug Alan Davey, it'd be okay if only he just played bass cos he's got a horrible voice.
Oh dear Mr Dave brock the leader of hawkwind uk just made harvey bainbridge a so called mate of his look like a complete prick maybe that is why harvey bainbridge never performed with Hawkwind ever again. . .sorry just an observationist me . . . . . .anyone??????

I watch this regularly, I love it! So good to hear Love In Space delivered by Brock without any input from Captain Rizz.
Funny
I thought the same thing during that one part - “Hey It’s Dave singing !! Not so bad after all , haha ... that mid section was always ruined for me with that other voice - I thought it was Ron Tree ... much better with Brock Hugely !!
Jerry Richards is so underrated. I love his contributions to Distant Horizons and elsewhere.
Killer band! Dave Brock still rocks till today! Long live Hawks!
Glad it was recorded so we can all enjoy it now i'd love to hear Dave sing more but lets face it he is 74 and that he's still touring twice a year at least blows me away and i'll take what I can from the Captain his guitar playing is what I love to hear now and its a Bonus when he does sing.

Soooooo I just love HAWKWIND!
I LOVE HAWKWIND THIS BAND BLEW ME AWAY IN THE 70s. GREAT SOUNDS FROM BROKKY AND THE BOYS....GOOD MEMORIES . THANKYOU HAWKWIND..
Saw them live a couple of weeks ago and he’s 82 now! 😮Still the same as ever, you’d never think he was that age❤
I saw this years ago and regretted not taping it - now finally its here - i thank you so much - Silver Machine is amazing... what a great concert for TV
musicians: Dave Brock,Harvey Bainbridge ,Richard Chadwick,Simon House,Jerry Richards,Steven Taylor
I WAS THERE AND I WAS STRAIGHT BUT TRIPPING ON THE MUSIC...WHAT A GREAT BAND.DAVE BROCK...YOU ROCK....FOREVER FAN MY NAME IS DEVO
Love the moment when Richard Chadwick looks at Dave Brock with a big smile on his face
As I kid, I used to listen the The Osmonds, The Partridge Family and such. Around 1975, my older brother brought home Space Ritual Live. I did a 360 musically.
180 but given what Hawks lifestyle imbibes maybe it is 360. No make that 540 ;-) Always Hawkwind. ;-)

I'm 71 and I still love Hawkwind. Wonderful .memories of the Hammers.ith Odeon, oh so many years ago. Jenny
Still brilliant.went to see them at Liverpool Arena 1979 & 1981. I just wish I could keep up with the band members.
i have had a great hawkwind life since my late teens im a pensioner soon

Nice to see Brock enjoying himself.
Dave Brock still has that fantastic WOTEOT vocal- classic HW, immortal
I thought he was miming to Silver Machine - sounds just like the 7" single (which was vocals by Calvert, credited S. McManus?)

I only really care for 70s Hawkwind but enjoyed this one.
Great as usual!
Saw these guys back in the 70s
Like Grateful Dead? Nothing is like Hawkwind.
Nothing is close to Hawkwind & there's no band better to trip with till the music is from the cosmos
@jc: Think the announcer guy meant the fanbase mindset - peace & love & LOTS of acid. ;-)
L/T Hawkbut but never got into the Dead so just my 2 cents tho ...
Awesome. Hawkwind are f**king heroes.
Magic! Never seen that before
Fantastic. First time I have seen them or heard these tracks. 64 now! Where there is life, there is hope..
