Hawkwind

In September 1972, when Hawkwind performed live at The Paris Theatre in London, they were in a crucial phase of their career, building on the momentum of their previous album, "Doremi Fasol Latido," released earlier that year. This album represented the band's continued exploration of space rock and psychedelic sounds, solidifying their unique identity in the genre. The live recording captures a dynamic performance that includes the infamous track “Brainstorm,” showcasing the band's improvisational energy and experimental approach at the time. Notably, the 1972 performance features Stacia Blake, a prominent visual collaborator and dancer, whose appearance in this recording is unique because it includes her speaking, a rare moment for the artist. This concert preceded their "Space Ritual" tour, which further emphasized their theatrical stage presence and dedication to merging music with performance art.
