Cant beat Nik. Never forget when I met him and Stace, and ended up backstage at Hawkwind gigs. Best way to waste ones youth for next two years. School? What was that. Oh Yeah, Nics space ritual - much more like the real thing - it has the energy and Mayhem . Unlike, Brocks Borewind
@@Andy-ub3ub Dear Andy, i am not THE hater. i noticed the odd thing when backstage, (spending most of my time rolling up 8 skins for the band and roadies - Lemmy really liked them) that were portents for the future. My comment 'much more like' is true. Nick was the personification of the spirit of Hawkwind. When i first heard this i could not believe it. I was back in 1971-74 - when there was nothing else like a Hawkwind gig, full of space cadets. And there is no doubt, that anyone who saw this live will never forget that sound. On the other hand, Brock could be boring.
@@williamthompson2941 i want you to take a deep breath. Hold it. Now let ot out. And as you do, let all that hatred, jelousy and resentment go with it. Now, doesnt that feel better?
Nikk was just a damn star. Two of the best gigs I ever went to were small intimate Nikk Turner affairs. Once at the failing Harvert Fair in the late 1990s (I think) when he played until around 2am in a small tent to make up for the fact the some of the festival acts didn`t play due to them not getting paid (he promised his band - "just one more song" and then played for another 45mins....... The other was in a classic Bristol West Indian venue called the Western star Domino club when I was around 15 - I remember Nikks` veins on his head appearing to glow (hmm.....)
I saw them on this tour in San Jose, Ca. at the long gone Cactus Club, it was unforgettably good! The Cactus wasn't quite big enough for them, but they did well. The opening band here was Sleep. It was one of those nights I'll never forget.
Hello to the eternal Nik Turner and all other cosmic eternal peoples, the recent midsummers eve/day Stonehenge free festival gathering 2024, was a cosmicly amazing successful event , I was there and pleased to see all the free natural eternal peoples of the infinite wild natural eternal cosmos enjoying themselves, there WILL DEFINATELY soon be the return of the Stonehenge free festivals FOR ETERNITY , REGULARLY, and ALL other free festivals also FOR ETERNITY , the IMPORTANT thing is, the more the natural wilderness returns back to the northern side/edge of Stonehenge (where the small "barrow hills" and traditional pyramid stage/ main festival site area is), i.e. the tarmac, roads, fences, artificial things e.t.c. being taken up, and the natural mud, turf and other plants growing back,, the sooner the better, and the Stonehenge free festivals Will DEFINATELY return even MORE sooner it is PRIMARILY NECESSARY for the northern plains tundra/fields ( i.e. where the main free festival, pyramid stage , small" barrow hills" usually is) to become completely natural wilderness again , there will still be a route to the south of Stonehenge for traffic travelling east to west/ west to east, and yet that route will eventually have the tarmac removed e.t.c. also , and then just become a flat dry smooth natural mud route that vehicles can STILL use 100% safely o.k. at the same speeds as before, (that southern only (east to west/west to east) road re-naturalisation (eventually back to a vehicle safe flat dry mud road) is in the more distant future, but to the sides and northern edges all around Stonehenge ,re-naturalisation back to completely natural tundra is VERY DEFINATELY IMMINENT and IMPORTANTLY it is better NOT to actually scorch/burn the actual turf/grass soils e.t,c. in any way , we are elf minimalist-tech eco-friendly(primarily) peoples, Stonehenge is here for ETERNITY , and so are we ALL, and so is all our eco friendly cosmic eternal music equipment e.t.c. any planes, helicopters, U.F.O. , other craft e.t.c. e.t.c. in the sky and space is ONLY Soviet Union Russian, so rest assured EVERYTHING is o.k. and 100% ECOFRIENDLY, see you soon and a DEFINIATE eco friendly free festival ETERNITY ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED
I just love this band and venue so much. Many people have been to that music hall in the m.f u .s.a. Mfu? So there We have all been there man. Great hall for music ....on GEARY st. I recall Jones and Geary on up the street. Great hall great venue. Rockers paradise Hall.
The Great American Music Hall is, or was, right next to the infamous Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theatre. Helios Creed and some other members of Chrome lived in the O'Farrell for a bit. Damon Edge lived across the bay in the Oakland Hills. At one point Chrome was working on a soundtrack for the Mitchell brothers, but it was rejected.
A really nice and charismatic guy. R.I.P. Nik. Only found your videos recently, after your decease. Glad they are still on youtube, for anyone to enjoy your interviews and performances.
If there's anyone that has the right to do these Calvert songs it's Nik......but this just seems too much like an old man holding on to past glories .....hiring a bunch of young space cowboys who'll play cliché Hawkwind riffs... There will always be an audience who'll pay to see old Hawkwind legends , so you can't blame him for staying on the road... Even Brock and his mates themselves became cliché merchants the last 25 years...."Space"......wooooooooaah.......🖐🤪
WONDERFUL version!!! Bob would be proud.
Yes, he would
This was a FANTASTIC tour! Great band! And Nik will be remembered forever!!!

He has been part of music education pretty much all my life. RIP Nik.

I was at that show. I saw a number of bands there, including GWAR. Not sure how they fit in that place.

Only found your videos recently, after your decease. Glad they are still on youtube, for anyone to enjoy your interviews and performances.
I really wish this DVD was still in print.
A superb line-up for Nik!
Del literally playing the Axe is hilarious..it would be interesting to hear the isolated track of Del's.
He is the best. All those behind him move away but he will always be there.
saw this tour - great show. Too bad he and Brock are at odds.
Was at the gig at Lounge Ax in Chicago during this tour...those old hippies had NO clue what was in store. Hahaha
Turner was,is,and will be complete crazy...LoL. 🙌🍻👍
Not as nuts as calvert.
Saw Nik and the band perform this last night! - absolutely pumping!! :-)
I wish my time machine worked 👽
Love Nik :)
Awesome had this on video From Cherry in 2002 but it died Great To hear it again with such great quality sounds Thanks. Ged
Saw this tour in Atlanta
What a great version of a classic song. Can anyone provide names of all the musicians.....? Love that buzz-saw guitar.
Here's the DVD's listing on Amazon (US): www.amazon.com/Nik-Turner-Space-Ritual-1994/dp/B000H7ZYTI/
Del Dettmar literally plays his axe 😂 2:20

Wow, that doesn't fuck about
If there's anyone that has the right to do these Calvert songs it's Nik......but this just seems too much like an old man holding on to past glories .....hiring a bunch of young space cowboys who'll play cliché Hawkwind riffs...
There will always be an audience who'll pay to see old Hawkwind legends , so you can't blame him for staying on the road...
Even Brock and his mates themselves became cliché merchants the last 25 years...."Space"......wooooooooaah.......🖐🤪
