Especially this band...and especially their work with Robert Calvert throughout the 70's...His lyrics from then not only sounds more relevant than ever and have come true in many cases...they also still sound ahead of their time over 45 years later...........He was a true visionary, warrior poet. A man of integrity and honour attempting to warn people of the impending corporate dystopia that was unleashing itself across Mother Earth......Songs such as Spirit Of The Age, Uncle Sams On Mars, The Age Of The Micro Man, Psi Power etc remain more relavant and important than ever.
Live 79 is a good version...however not a patch on the live 77 versions with the mighty Robert Calvert himself singing his own lyrics with his full on passion ...this version hear beats all live versions released so far...the explosion of sythns at the end is especially brilliant and spine tingling........th-cam.com/video/Hayal0Trmvg/w-d-xo.html
The spacerock master of the Universum...🎸
They still sound and look great. What a band!
Fantastic performance - hope I can still move like Dave Brock when I'm 82, kudos...!
I was there another fantastic Hawkwind gig
Loved this at RAH. Thanks for sharing.

Can't beat the original Calvert version more like ..everything he touched was gold !
@@Spirit-Of-The-Age This is a mediocre singalong compared to released live versions with Bob on vocals; he brought real menace to the song.
Tim Blake's synth was the icing on the cake for this track. Without him it just doesn't fly for me.
Great gig wasn't it
Yep. We were literally at the barrier at the front🤘
Brock still gets the words wrong.
