... One of the best live LPs of the period I think. Not for pristine recording quality but for capturing the moment....

 
And the one album I love to blast in my ears to no end!
 
Saw their tour of this during their LA run with MAN opening for them on a night when Mickey and Deke were on fire! Sadly, Hawkwind was way too loud, but Stasia was impressive! I had seen the "Space Ritual" on their previous tour, and I think it was the Santa Monica Civic ... though I do not remember Stasia, but Nick wore many outfits that night!

The current line-up is seriously good live and releases some good recordings as well, new stuff and rearrangements and retakes on the older material, and is yet another of the many shades of Hawkwind there's been over the last 45 or so years (and well over 60 long or short term members, but always with Dave Brock at the helm).

And one of those members was a part of GONG ... Mr. Dream Machine himself, and some very nice versions of his own material! Tim Blake!

If you've not head it, "Quark, Strangeness and Charm" is worth a listen, quite a gear change from the heavier stuff that preceded it.

 
Are you kidding me? You can't name an album of theirs I don't have! It's getting to be so that any album that comes out has more older material than anything else, but as is the case with the DVD (Silver Machine), it is all that is left for me to enjoy these days. 
 
I still love the extended wahwahs, and guitar effects ... not many folks touch those, and they can only be done on extended music, not on 3 minute songs! 

😊 I saw this thread and it took me back to when I saw Saxon a couple of times playing rock nights in the working men's' clubs of northern England in about 77-78 when they were called Son of a ****. I have to say even on that level iirc they were considered good but not great by the local metal-following fraternity. I vaguely remember their first album, a couple of years later. Like most of those NWOBHM albums, not much of the excitement they could muster live survived the basic production iirc. Back in those clubs I never thought I'd be reading a review (and such a serious one) of their 21st album four decades on. So obviously, what do I know? Good luck to 'em though.
