The Hawkwind Experience

Formed in the summer of 1969 as Hawkwind Zoo, they were offered a record deal by Liberty Records in November of that year and immediately shortened the band name to Hawkwind. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Dave Brock has been the only consistent band member through multiple personnel changes. Their music began as hard-driving blues rock, but quickly added doses of psychedelic rock, with prominent use of special effects and synthesizers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawkwind It was 16 years ago when a friend introduced me to the Hawkwind experience. Never in my wildest dreams back then could I have imagined that one day I would have the opportunity to see this band live. Life works in mysterious ways so it is by no surprise that I received a message from beyond about the imminent world tour of Hawkwind. I also received a divine sign from a stall holder in Amsterdam about the profound greatness of Hawkwind. So 6 of us booked our tickets and flew to Manchester, England and drove to a small town called Holmfirth. We entered the pub for pre-concert refreshments and had and amazing meal. After a few drinks we left for the small theater called Picturedome. The experience was enchanting, liberating. A moment of freedom a soul cleansing experience. I can not describe it in words, but have a look at the pictures and decide for yourselves.   Please read the articles below to understand the uniqueness of Hawkwind: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~kevsmith/Hawkwind.html http://www.starfarer.net/ http://www.hawkwind.com
