CANTERBURY FAYRE 2001

My experience of Hawkwind ran dry in the '80s and I was very sceptical that they could deliver the old magic post-y2k. On this night, at least, they were great, recapturing the 79-82 vibe (not least thanks to Huw Lloyd Langton). The characteristic Brock voice is still the one of old, the band gel, seem fired up, and are not too proud to dust off a heap of ol' time classics for sake of the festival. The mix and fidelity are great too. If you love Live 79 / Levitation, there's a good chance you'll like this a lot.
