Hawkwind

In July 1972, during the time of the live recording at Dunstable Civic Hall, Hawkwind was experiencing significant growth and creativity in their career. They had just released their album "Space Ritual," which showcases the band's blend of psychedelic rock and space rock influences. The live album, recorded during a tour promoting this release, captures the band's dynamic and experimental live performances—hallmarks of their reputation. Notably, this period saw the inclusion of Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister in their lineup, who would later leave to form Motörhead. The connection between Hawkwind and Motörhead is significant, as it underlines the crossover of musical styles and the influence they had on each other. This live recording serves as a snapshot of a transformative era for Hawkwind, highlighting their innovative approach to music during the early '70s.
