thanks to sundance sun for helping with setlist

comments:
This recording is not great sounding quality, but for a 73 HW aud, it's not bad.
Probably recorded with a little Sony deck. I don't know which one. This was my 1st
live Hawkwind recording (other than the official live LP of similar era which is
very good) and for many years my only one. It's very close to the whole show, 2 tape
flip cuts, (both spliced, not much missing at all), not very clear fidelity but it
is stereo. I don't know if the tracking is right (some tracks are probably 2 or 3 songs) but
the sequence is right. I don't know when HW's 1st U.S. concert was, but this is the
earliest one I've heard. It's a good concert. The Academy of Music sound was not that
good, but the NY crowd was in a HW mood, not too much crowd noise, a little bit of
tape noise (it was on the master tape too, mastered on Advent cassettes). I didn't
see this show, didn't even know who Hawkwind were in 1973. I got it from the taper
about 20 years ago. No remastering needed- unless you want to EQ or do some noise
reduction or track editing. I like to stay away from doing that unless it really
needs it, but I'm probably the worst Hawkwind track editor heard yet on the dime.
Fortunately, as 73 HW recordings go, this is far from the worst I've heard, maybe
even one of the better sounding ones. There's something about the frequencies in a
HW show that seemed to screw up alot of recordings, but this doesn't have that problem.
I would guess almost any HW fan will find this enjoyable.
thanks to tiedye for making the original recording, sounds like he did a good job.

Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely, losslessly and gaplessly.

I bought this double Cdr recording at a "back street" record exchange shop, a while ago.
Although the discs are very professionally produced and could pass for an official release unfortunately the discs are CDR recordings.

Consequently this is a direct copy taken from that cdr, and as always with CDR recordings you can never be sure of the source
material, so it is very much a case of "Let The Buyer Beware".

However when I accessed the online data base it immediately recognised the discs as "Top Rank Southampton UK 1973-07-25".

As to the sound quality I would rate this great sounding 1973 show at a very solid 7/10 or Ex.

This is indeed one of the best sounding "Space Ritual" era recordings around. It is a fantastic gig,
captured here by the taper, for us to enjoy 36 years after the event!

As always my thanks to the taper of this show and also to the person who original shared this show!

Share freely but NEVER sell.

Lets remember Hawkwind are a current active touring band:

So support them by going to gigs, buying their cd's and merchandise etc.

Check out their official website here: http://www.hawkwind.com

Also check here for the bands current trading/recording policy: http://www.hawkwindmuseum.co.uk/trading%20rules.htm

You can also find detailed info on their re-issue back catologue here: http://cherryred.co.uk/atomhenge/main.htm

Anyway please enjoy a great sounding show from the "Urban Guerilla Promo Tour"!

I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers

Paul

Type: FM mono

Lineage: FM > Sony TC 135 SD > Karstadt Compact Cassette C 120 > NAD Deck 602 (azimuth adjustement) > audacity > wav > flac 8 (traders little helper)

track 2 and track 5 don't appear on any of Guru Gurus regular LP.
track 6 include three Eddie Cochran covers, whereas the beginning of the tune "Medley" from their 4th LP is not played here.
For the infos thanks to propylaen and zubbid, contributed in the comment section of the former upload.


Line-Up:

Hans Hartmann - bass
Mani Neumeier - drums
Axel Genrich - guitar


This is a mono recording and the levels are varying, but not by far not so much on the left channel. During the first transfer I fumbled around with the levels of the two channels. This time I focussed on the left channel which is very consistent apart from two small parts where the right channel is in fact a bit stronger. I took the left channel besides one small section, made it stereo again (fur burning purposes), and got a fine broadcast document with consistent volume and less hiss than before, especially in some parts.
I have tracked tracks 5 to 6 this time acoording to the info by propylaen). It could also be handled as one track.

No EQ, no noise reduction and no speed correction.
It could get some equalising, but I'm not firm with that, and cranking the treble up while playing it brings pleasure enough, imho.
I have had the experience of FAKE STEREO of this - right channel with a small delay. That was quite good to listen to! But I cannot account for uploading a FAKE, can I?

No artwork.

This time the setlist is, according to propylaen's comments, filled up a bit!

Hawkwind: 1978.03.06 - New York City (VG+ Aud) [FLAC]



New York, Bottom Line Club, 06 March 1978 (Remaster)

01 - Intro
02 - Hassan-I-Sahba
03 - Instrumental Bridge
04 - Brainstorm
05 - Steppenwolf
06 - High Rise
07 - Robot
08 - Spirit Of The Age

Dave Brock - guitar, vocals
Robert Calvert - vocals
Simon House - keyboards, violin
Adrian Shaw - bass
Simon King - drums


Quality:
======

Audience recording, pretty good - this is surely one of the better Calvert-era audience recordings.

Historical Details:
==============

This is an incomplete version of one of their shows on their last tour before breaking up and becoming the Hawklords. Simon House left the band on March 13 to join David Bowie. On 28th March the band played their final gig in San Francisco to break up immeadiatly after.

Technical Details:
==============

This one was seeded in March at dime. The seeder claimed this to be from the bootleg "Live at the Bottom Line". I doubt this because
a. it has no vinyl crackle at all
b. there is no record flip inbetween (although there was a gap in the middle - but this didn't sounded like a flip)
c. it is missing "Sonic Attack" which is on the vinyl
d. a mp3-version which also claims to be from the boot has all the above evidents and is notable different

So therefore I would guess this simply as an audience recording. Anyway, this is the best sounding version of all the the New York-Concerts I have heard.

The main reason for remaster was that the show sounded much too slow. I pitched it up to 11% (!!) taking the studio versions and the Leicester 77 versions as a reference. After this the show became quite lively and much more enjoyable.

After this I
- patched a drop-out in Hassan-I-Sabha at around 5.00
- removed a gap after "High Rise"
- removed some unrelated chatter at the end
- normalized the left and right channel
- made a decent fade-in/fade-out

So the new lineage would be

AUD -> ??? -> CDR -> EAC -> WAV -> FLAC -> Audacity -> CD Wave Editor (for cutting) > Flac

Hawkwind: 1981.10.04 - Liverpool (VG+ Aud Master) [FLAC]


4 Oct 1981
Liverpool Empire

Lineage: AUD > WAV > FLAC

Quality rating: 8/10 - THREE-GUITAR HAWKWIND and very clear and crisp sound, esp Lloyd Langton.

01 Angels Of Death
02 Golden Void
03 Magnu
04 Dust Of Time
05 Virgin Of The World

08 Shot Down in the Night
09 Sonic Attack
10 Brainstorm
11 Silver Machine
12 Master of the Universe

Lineup: Dave Brock, Harvey Bainbridge, Huw Lloyd Langton, Martin Griffin


This recording released on 11 Feb 2008 for the first time. A poorer-quality tape from this gig has been around for a long time, rated by one authority as 6/10.


Further info:

Recorded by Graham using a Philips N2415 portable cassette recorder and one mic wired up for dual-channel mono.

Subsequent tape breakages adversely affect Shot Down in the Night - three short pieces are missing.

Digitised to WAV on 10 Feb 2008 using Cakewalk GTP.

Compression to FLAC files using FLAC Frontend.


******************************Pass It On**************************

I taped this gig. And digitised it. And seeded it on bit torrent. But I still think the recording belongs to Hawkwind! Therefore, only THEY can stipulate how it's distributed in the future. Hawkwind's trading conditions currently do not bar the distribution of shows in MP3 form.

Cheers (Sonic_Hawk) 2008
