I second my colleague febus' august comments. Some people just keep looking for the same comfort foods (leaving them numb) while there is so much to wish you were there (Hawkspace, Planet Gong, TDream, Bjorn Lynne, Spiral Realms, Pulsar, Parallel or 90 Degrees, Sunscape and so many more ....)
Too bad for all you uninitiated!

I prefer Huw as well, being a seasoned Hawkfan (seeing them live will do that to you) . Never was a big Nektar fan, so ....

I see this thread is fading into obscurity  , such shame as there  such good players , and Roy Allbrighton still flying the Nektar Flag there new album is well worth Buying , they made such good records its shame there not given more air time on this site ,   oh well lets carry on with inane question about whether Genesis are   virtuosos or Zappa v Howe  yeah thats comparing like with like yawns  or who the best Musician
pfft define Best ? Pfft again,  like asking how long is a piece of string  yawns again

^^ I'll tell you Hawkwise, Tim Blake, now there is a keyboard player, very underrated IMO. The Crystal Machine and all. Just thinking of that, gonna have to dig out my old Gong albums and his solo albums for a listen.

Yepp your right my Mistake  it is spelt   Huw being from Wales Huw a good old Welsh Name
and yes i think that 79 tour was one the best Tours the Hawks ever did all the band were on top form for that one Huw and Tim Blake complimented so well ,

Hugh was in fact on the First  Hawkwind album , but left after seeing God after being spiked with LsD at the Isle white Festival  in 1970  but did return to the Ship  around the end of 78  and Played some Blinding Guitar on   albums such as Levitation  which also featured  One Ginger Baker and Tim Blake ,this was followed up by Two more good albums with some lovely playing by Hugh  Choose your Masque and Sonic Attack
 Hugh Bowed out again on the Chronical of the Black Sword  , the Live Blacksword Album shows Hugh in Top Form

A refreshing poll at lastThumbs%20Up......but i am afraid it's not going to get a lot of answers.Cry

Hawkwise you should have given more info about these 2 guitarists as not everyine knows their names.

Roy Albrighton is the leader of english band NEKTAR, often thought as German as they were living in Germany back then, thus associated with ''krautrock''
Hugh Langton was this fantastic guitarist for HAWKWIND during the 80s.....going solo now but still gravitating around the Hawks....was part of the Hawkfest 2008.
 
Both deserve better recognition especially on this site, i think.
so tie voteThumbs%20Up
