- This is a reaction video to Hawkwind performing "Space Is Deep" from the "Doremi Fosol Latido" album from 1972. The song uses an acoustic guitar for the main instrument enhanced for electronic space sounds played by Lemmy. The vocals are also enhanced and phased. A very different sounding song for its era.
Hawkwind actually did the song Motorhead, I love all their United artists albums and the charisma stuff,
First flight with the Hawks was in 1970 and they have been part of my life since then. Space Ritual was a ground breaking live album recorded at two different venues. It set the standard for all live albums that have followed. The stuff that is churned out in recent years by the Hawks is not a patch on the sound produced earlier on the flight. Dik MIk and Del Dettmar added such a wonderful layer to what Brock, King, Turner and Lemmy were laying down. The Greasy Truckers recording of We were born to go and Masters of the Universe are exceptional. Added to all of this was the wonderful poetry of the departed Robert Calvert, Stacias dance and the lightshow magic created that accompanied the live sets. Something to behold for sure.
If I remember right, they had their own lighting effects company that toured with them on the "A Space Ritual" tour that were called Liquid Len and The Lens Men, eighteen months of psychedelic madness that will never be seen again!
@@BugsLivesmatter66613 Jonathon Smeeton was known as Liquid Len and he did tour with Hawkwind and designed many of the ground breaking lighting effects used by the band. The first showing of his rope light that was laid across the back of the stage and over the line of the amps stacks was ground breaking. Pure white and flowing. Nowadays they are two a penny and used as christmas lights but back in the day they were unique and spectacular.
@@yvoheaton6402Thanx for the info, I was in the sound and lighting business for a few years, years ago and have been a Hawkwind fan since 76 when I was 15 and did not know that, were they in the pictures on the Space Ritual Alive cover? If you haven't seen any of the videos Steven Strayhawk has done to Hawkwind songs you may enjoy them, this is my favorite: ~ ruclips.net/video/oo2fwiuKVc4/видео.html
@@BugsLivesmatter66613 We probably stood next to each other at Gigs at the time!
Nice to see you appreciate Hawkwind.For a bit of Lemmy, try the track 'Time We Left This World Today', also from the album 'Dohraymefasolatido'.
For something excellent, different and out of character for Hawkwind I recommend their song Some People Never Die.
Hawkwind is the most unique bands out there and that has influenced so many bands and genres of music!!!....Give the 80's "living on a knife edge" and especially listen to the lyrics
I got to see Hawkwind 4 times. Once for the American "Space Ritual" tour. The other tours I saw them for were: "Hall of the Mountain Grill"..."Warrior on the Edge of Time"...and "PXR5". My teenage years were great for music of all sorts.
yeah that was my first impression too!!WOW!!A great song of their 80s discography is Dust of Time!!
That's Dave Brock on 12 string acoustic and vocals, I recommend Orgone Accumulator off of the Space Ritual album for some of Lemmy's best!
As I understand it Lemmy played rhythm guitar. He was roadie at a gig where the bassist hadn't turned up. Somebody asked him if he could play, then shoved a bass guitar in his hand and asked him to make some noises in E. The rest as they say is history.
you better belive it
It's so easy to say!
First heard them in1986 when I was 15 on acid never looked back
I was a Hawkwind fan back in the day but I never made the connection with Lemmy....amazing !!!
Hawkwind made me a Fan in 1973, Space Ritual album, double live, that is. I followed Lemmy to Motorhead.
how is that possible,? did you know ginger baker was with them for a spell, on the levitation album.
Todd, you cannot go wrong with reacting to the whole live album "Space Ritual" from 1973. It is superb! Especially "Organ Accumulator". Check it out!
Hi Jack-D Ripper ... I've done a reaction to "Orgone Accumulator" from "Space Ritual". Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/ZnJl-sfkJwA/видео.html
Take care and enjoy ....
*100% agree! Orgone Accumulator has the best ever (IMHO) guitar solo (Dave Brock)!* ❤
What a awesome crescendo
Doremi Fasol Latido is a Hawkwind classic and it's my favorite recording of Space is Deep. Dave Brock and Hawkwind took a lot of influence at the time from the German "Krautrock" motorik from bands like Neu!, Kraftwerk, and Faust.
The first time I heard Hawkwind was when an eagle flew by me and farted.
Hi Force ... Good One! 😁
Tremendous song, love the folky acoustic guitar too, can be found on a lot of Hawkwind tracks.
Check out Wrong Step Years Ago , Demented Man or Children of the Sun.
If Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin merged it might sound like this lol
Cool reaction
Hi Paul ... I thought the song was rather trippy. After hearing it several times after my reaction, there is so much more I hear and could talk about. Thank you for the compliment on my reaction. Rock on ... 😎🎸✌
@@drivingwithtodd1781 Lemmy also said he was kicked out of Hawkwind because he as using the "wrong" drug.
Have a listen to time we left today, from the same album
the space ritual live album version is the best for me, most songs songs sound fresher on that album. Up there with the who live at leeds in terms of live albums check it out👌🏻
Also check out the pink fairies.
Hi Alex ... I do have some Pink Fairies. I am a fan of Larry Wallis. It is amazing how all these UK bands are somewhere interrelated. Very cool!
@@drivingwithtodd1781 I have been fortunate enough to see the pink fairies in London and also hawkwind at the Stonehenge free festival a few times. Best days of my life.👍
Uncle Harry's last freakout is mind blowing as is anything with Paul 'Blackie' Rudolph and Twink driving it all along. Makes Heavy Metal sound like it belongs in the nursery!
It's Dik Mik on "Audio generator" (EMS VCS3 - same as Dark side of the moon) not Lemmy
Del dettmar is on vcs3
Just react to Lord of Light from Space Ritual for some of Lemmy's best bass playing.
Have a listen to Time we left this world today from the same album
The whole album is sweet....
Nice to see you making an effort mate ..these are so underestimated.
Don't forget the song Motorhead was originally recorded by Hawkwind, without Lemmy singing. It's a great song you should try it
Hi Mark ... I recently did a reaction to Hawkwind performing "Motorhead". Check it out!
Todd great video. I look forward to you listening to more Hawkwind (and Space Ritual eventually).
On a completely irrelevant tangent, the other bassist that has a fairly unique sound is Peter Hook ("Hookey") of Joy Division and then New Order. Although I listen to both these bands, I'm not a massive fan, so I'm not sure I my recommendations are more than tracks I particularly like. Blue Monday, is probably New Order's most well known track. She's Lost Control, Transmission and Atrocity Exhibition are three of my favourite Joy Division songs, although Love will tear us apart is the most poignant given Ian Curtis illness and suicide.
Happy listening :)
Hi Nick ... I did buy the Joy Division albums but felt they were a bit dark, especially Ian Curtis's voice. I always have loved "Love Will Tear Us Apart" though. With New Order, I did buy their first 4 albums but was never a big fan. "Blue Monday" definitely has a great bass hook in it. I love "Ceremony", "Everything's Gone Green" and "Temptation" as well.
@@drivingwithtodd1781 I completely understand your opinion re Joy Division. Whilst I know there is a lot of people out there who are fans, apart from their more poppy hit singles there a hard band to listen too. That said, I do think perservering is worth it as I discovered songs I really like that I wouldnt have heard otherwise. For New Order, my own experience is mostly with their hit singles, which I really like, but not enough to call myself a fan.
@@drivingwithtodd1781 Try "Regret" - it's one of Peter Hook's greatest moments ruclips.net/video/71ZHVmSuBJM/видео.html
Check out the robert calvert years of hawkwind tracks like spirit of the age or steppenwolf
Mick Farren of The Deviants co-wrote Lost Johnny.
Have a listen to the band that Lemmy was in before Hawkwind called Sam Gopal
Lord of Light is excellent, Magnu and the Golden Void : all Lemmy bass
I think there has only one band that captured the spirit of Space Ritual and that was Gong (Daevid Allen) when he teamed up with Here and Now for the Floating Anarchy live album 77. Here and Now on their own continue the psychedelic space rock sound.
I have seen Daevid Allan a few times,he and Gilli smith played a gig at Daylesford( in Victoria Australia) at the end of the nineties, which a friend of mine organised where they played a fair bit of electric camembert, they had a great light show done by a guy called Hugh McSpedden,a legend in OZ. Saw Daevid in the Hidden opera company of Tibet, a couple of times as well.
I love how they were presenting a different angle on anarchy at the height of punk
Yes, Alibaba have u any BS is an amazing track on 77 - different from HW but definitely in the same space
should have done it from live space ritual the lead in The Black Corridor
Spacey acid ballad with slightly dub reggae vocals? Its the lilt in Brock's voice and similar to Sandanista-era Clash. Then we have lift off! Yeh and that's a cool video too.
I think in terms of music of the time, Hawkwind are more a follow on from late 60's groups - the Who, the Beatles, Hendrix, Moody Blues, CSN, Floyd, Zep and the Velvets combined with Krautrock. There's prog there too (some of those groups are proggy of course) but also glam (Bowie, T Rex, Mott, Queen) and some other underground stuff like Broughton Band, Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come, Gong, Man, Pink Fairies - whose Larry Wallis went on to form the original Motorhead with Lemmy. How Lemmy started playing Bass is a cool story, I think he was only supposed to be a roadie. He was a roadie for Hendrix, who incidentally showed a lot of interest in joining the band after a smoke outside the Isle of White Festival which Hawkwind were gate-crashing (a couple of phone calls followed, but 3 weeks later Jimi OD'd). and a parallel story is that Lemmy wanted to get rid of his flatmate in 1977, this guy who couldn't play an instrument, and his friend John Lyden told him one day he was looking for a new bass player after Glen Matlock left, so he put forward the flatmate, Sid Vicious - it worked for Lemmy so why not Sid?
I really think more people need to hear Hawkwind, having the occasional song used for a Ford advert ain't gonna spread the word. If you want to stick to Lemmy-era, I'd recommend Master of the Universe (71), Urban Guerrilla (73), Paradox (74) or Motorhead (75).
Hi Quarkwrok ... Wow, great comment with lots of fun info. You hit on a lot of bands I love. Also you mentioned my favorite Clash album "Sandanista"; what a work of art! After listening to this Hawkwind track several more times, I can hear some Moody Blues in it. A bit of psychedelic as well. A truly interesting song and I plan to do some more Hawkwind in the future. Take care and keep rockin' ... 😎🎸✌
sonic attack
live1999 album but its made 1979
It's as if Mozart had access to electronic instruments.
the live version (from Space Ritual) is way better
Disagree, this is the best.
Space rtitual version is my favourite too, more electric and spacey. But I would not say way better, just different feeling.
This is your captain speaking..your captain is dead..lmfao...I been a hawklord for nearly 50 years .assault and battery/ golden void
