I’m glad it’s not just my ancient iPad in that case!!
There’s definitely a place for them, as I post them myself, but video heavy pages can take forever to load and frequently get error messages.
That’s just saved me £500

It came out at a challenging time for me, with the impending death of my mother in law when my marriage was on the rocks. I did frequent long distance road trips to her hospital and this was on my car playlist a lot. A variety of songs but they all hit a certain note at the time and for that reason they always will. Got to see them a few months afterwards (& since). Saw Chester’s penultimate gig in London so perhaps even more meaning.

Space Ritual Live (by Hawkwind) is a perfect album.
I first heard it as a teenager. My sisters boyfriend was five years older then me and lived in our house and he was really into music. He was more into heavy metal and I was more into punk but he got me into a lot of bands I had never heard of: The Stooges, The Dictators, Motörhead and Hawkwind.
After listening to this album high I was more than blown away. This was probably 1982/3.
It was recorded over several nights but the production makes it sound like it’s one continuous concert. Starting with spacey electronic sounds (earth calling) that are cool, the band launches into Born To Go, the first of several long stoner space metal jams. Down Thru The Night is a great song too.
Side 2 gets back into the stoner metal jam with Lord of Light which morphs into Spce is Deep… first a poetry reading then a spacey jam with the same lyrics. (Always made me chuckle a bit).
Side 3 is the best! It really kicks off with Orgine Accumulator which is a real bluesy rocker before disintegrating into psychedelia. Upside Down is a strong rock/metal number that I always liked… and then it fades into my fave: 10 Seconds of Forever… which had me laughing my ass off as a stoned teenager. Brainstorm is another longer psych metal jam.
The fourth side starts w the strongest song on the album, Seven By Seven, which is not about a drink and fizzles into Sonic Attack. Inwill never forget laughing my ass off listening to Lemmy yell “himself”. Time We Left This World Today and Master of the Universe are both good long and space jammy.
It’s like an orgasm as you fade into he bliss of a quieter Welcome to the Future and nod off completely…
The album is long. It’s relentless. Must be listened in a whole setting.
It’s a perfect live album.
There are some great videos of real live material and some animated stuff that people have made. Totally worth finding.
