My father listened to Hawkwind from the start. He followed this band from the the late 60s to last sunday where he died from a heart attack, he was at there events from like 12-14 years old. he was 56 when he passes. I`m here looking for songs to be played at his funeral.He was a die hard Hawkwind fan. Thank you Hawkwind for being a huge part of his life, You will struggle to find a bigger fan. I`m 27 years old and he took me to a gig in Aldershot when i was 19 and i must admit they pissed all over todays music... I loved it! Space is deep is my favourite song and hurry on Sundown. Long live Hawkwind, Long live Dave Brock, and long live my fathers legacy.
Thanks for sharing your story - your father died too young but I am convinced that his love for Hawkwind gave him some substantial value for his life. Respect that you honor your father's legacy :-)
One of the greatest songs ever written by hawkwind,the changes in this song the middle part is as good as it gets how many different instruments can you hear masters of space rock
When the tune steps up a gear .. the Saturn 5 takes off. (Burning as much fuel in 1/10 as a second as Lindbergh used to cross the Atlantic. There's inflation for you ..)
I'm Freshly 18 I've been a die hard fan since i was 17 and i saw them in 2017 in the into the woods gig with my dad who has loved Hawkwind since around the same age. Incredible band and modern music doesn't come close to what Hawkwind did in the early space ritual period. God bless Hawkwind!
@@EdwardGatey There's no way. The mercury-Redstone was not 2% the thrust of the mighty Saturn V. This is the real deal, and likely one of the earliest manned Apollo missions.
1978. My boyfriend and I lying stretched out in his back bedroom getting mind blattered to this song. When we open the door, his dad is standing there and he says to my boyfriend :"I hope you haven't got her pregnant". OMG I had to scurry down the stairs red faced. I have many great Hawkwind memories, but that was an awkward one!
I've loved Hawkwind since I first heard them in the mid 70s......I'm so lucky to have seen them many times - I'm an old fart nearly 60 now....but I have a massive Quad hifi with Monitor Audio speakers and blast Space is Deep across the Surrey Downs whilst wankered on Punk IPA....
Love your passion to provide good music. This takes me back to when I took up with a "convoy" girl back in ' 81/82..., black micro dots ..... I met God that night only I couldn't remember what wisdom he imparted.... To Angie, wherever u are , what a week....
My All Time favourite group/band.. to me there's no equal, in sheer depth and relevance.. Space is Us..thanku Dave, thankyou Nik thankyou Del thankyou Mick thankyou Dik..Lemmy and all the others who've flown with Hawkwind!
That bit where the bass-led riff comes in (at 3.29 on this video to be exact!) is just about the best Hawkwind moment of all IMHO. Remember it at the Shepherd's Bush Space Ritual show couple of years ago - hairs stood up on my neck like spines on a porcupine!
This was the album that my brother and I discovered Hawkwind with. Summer, 1976. He'd bought an old Ford 1/2-ton pickup in North Bay and drove it back down to Toronto. This tape was left in the 8-track player by the previous owner. We'd never heard anything quite like it before. We were blown away. Been following Hawkwind ever since.
Wow! 'Doremi Fasol Latido' on 8-Track tape, I recall the sound from those things on a decent stack were excellent, must have been a great trip back home, nice story, thanks for sharing it.
Space is dark, it is so endless When you're lost it's so relentless It is so big, it is so small Why does man try to act so tall Is this the reason, deep in our minds? It does not feel, it does not die Space is neither truth nor lie Into the void we have to travel To find the clue which will unravel Is this the reason, deep in our minds? The secret lies with our tomorrow In each of us is a hidden sorrow The path goes onward through the night Beyond the realms of ancient light Is this the reason, deep in our minds? Dave Brock
"Is this the reason, deep in our minds?" -- I believe the answer is YES!! If we would just start to learn of ourselves, we will find internal and eternal wealth!!
Does anyone else think "we took the wrong step years ago" was way ahead of its time? First listened to them as a 14 year old back in the 70s.....Still listening...Such a great band!!!
Great LP.😊 in my younger years i bombarded all the neighbours with all different tunes, all the said was wait till your mother comes home from work, you will not be laughing on the other side of your face, I'm 66 now the curtains are gradually closing in very fast. I've been lucky enough to have listened to all the great bands and, solo artists as well. Today's music not so good 😅
It’s 2024 and I just booked a ticket to see them again!! Crazy to think this was released just years after the moon landing. Go book the live ticket they have still got it!!!!
❤See you guys in our space & time ❤; space is infinit,it is dark,star's occupy minute areas of space,clusterd a few billion here & afew billion there,as if seeking conservation in numbers ❤Space does not live & it does not die,it doesn't offer truth or neither does it lie..................❤Space is deep & how many more Fantastic Albums.
The best band ever..end ...so much diversity and choice from different decades..and still travelling effortly through time ..this is your captain speaking. Your captain is dead captain is dead
The best space rock song of all (must've influenced Spacemen 3 in some way, you'd think). Perfect video for this great piece of music that makes for a powerful overall experience.
peter kember was definately influenced by dave brock .. my friend kate hummel has written a song about jason pierce of spacemen 3 .. this is it th-cam.com/video/lw6eIjlr3KU/w-d-xo.html
Wow,great memories,i remember seeing them live in the mid 80s,in the Convoy field at Glastonbury,when Glastonbury was still real.One of the better acid trips.
Awesome drum fills on this track by Simon King, and it's gotta be my favorite component of the entire piece. Definitely propels the music far and beyond what the early '70s was providing at the time in terms of power and precision. 👺✨🗡👺
Just awesome - Hawkwind kings of space rock!. To me the best version of Space is Deep is the live one from the 1990 The Best and the Rest of Hawkind album - the build up and then the drop is phenomenal on that version - well worth a listen!
If you're a first time listener, I would recommend you hear... Warrior On The Edge Of Time (1975) Quark, Strangeness And Charm (1977) Levitation (1980) Sonic Attack (1981) Church Of Hawkwind (1982) They should be enough to get you hooked. Then just wiki the band for a full discography and start from the beginning.
Great band! I saw theses cats at the Tower Theater just outside of Philly shortly after Space Ritual came out. They kicked ass. Thanks for this upload.
FanX to the uploader ...nice one ! A flash - back to memories of 70's Hawkwind at their best . Diamond Video as long ago (many moons ago with me trying to share on an old f/book account ) Nope ..giving it the old blah blah blah... SO ! A big special fanX for this upload. " peace , love and ... more " x
To start anybody out on this phenomenal band, I would recommend the albums 'Levitation', 'Warrior On The Edge Of Time', 'Quark, Strangeness And Charm' 'Doremi Fasol Latido' & 'Space Ritual'. These should be enough to make any Hawkwind novice want to hear more, and there's plenty of it believe me.
Yes, my thoughts exactly. It does the music an honor, and depicts the times when these lines were written. And, imho, this is one of a best Hawkwind pieces of all.
Good to hear that Joe - I liked their earlier albums more than the later ones - Bob Calvert and Dave Brock were a great team...though to my mind they sort of lost the plot after his passing...sad as it is I still like to listen to those early recordings...its great rock music...some sound even better today LOL ie quality classics. My all time favorite 'live' album is the double one entitled 'A Space Ritual'..which is all about a journey into Space and exploring other worlds
Sebastian Mestre that is true - is just a matter of time before work begins on deep space travel and taking good music with them is part of the fuel charge
This video and tune by Hawk~wind remains as untouched as the surface of the Moon after '72. Somehow, considering the direction the 21st Century has taken, this seems appropriate to me. . . And, oh, thanks for the reload!!
Thank you so much rp61---. What an awesome vid !! I lost my entire Hawkwind collection after lending them to a friend who schizoed out & burned the lot !! Also got me thinking of what a great achievement it was to send men to the moon. Many don't realize that once in the vacuum of space, you can't turn, & if you miss your mark, you're screwed !! And they did it with 'dinosaur computers' with less computing power then my current gaming rig !!!!
Wonderful blend of great acoustic sounds and the originality that Hawkwind gave to electronic pulses, atmosphere and mood. A great piece of song writing. This song was never created so well live : it does need the acoustic tone. I think this is Dettmar's legacy.
Hey, nice work rp61. Very cool indeed -captures the tone and sense of exploration along with the social change in the early 70s the band was, well, defying. I've loved Hawkwind since I was 15 -for those out there who are just discovering or not quite sure where to find their music, it's there -remember a must-have like "The Space Ritual," the brilliant double live album, was actually in the the top 40 way back then. The single "Silver Machine," which made the top 10, funded that tour.
Hey...youve constucted a really good peice there mate.For what its worth coming from me..."Well done".Grew up surrounded by Hawkwind-they truly were(and still ARE)one of the all time greats.National Treasures.Seriously considering going in December to Bedford Corn Exchange to see them again.Anyway...nuff of my ramblings!once again...well done matey.LOL.
The Hawkwind will never be repeated and are another exceptional one of of the 70's (in general - although started in the 60's) I think you will find they are the longest performing band of all time!
We should have an Hawkwind Satellite. We should have Hawkwind Generations Music Band. I was born in 1974,been listening to Hawkwind since 1986. Hawkwind even better to listen to in Autumn. Album covers are good looking also. Levitation not heard for awhile my copy went missing Will look it up. Same with lyrics On a cold & frosty morning.,Mirror of illusion.
Interesting vibe. Before this track, the only Hawkwind song I'd heard was Silver Machine, which was more straight up rock. This one has more of a folk-psychedelia feel to it. Great clips in the vid.
. . . There's been a malfunction on Screens. . . Hawkwind are what my future astronaut listens to while tooling around in microgravity on board the ISS. So many evocative tracks( most of them, to be fair), been a fan since 1976, I think. In my late 50s now, their music back- catalogue is spectacular and varied, a rich seam for newbies to Space Rock 🪨 as a genre. . . . REMEMBER, YOU CAN HELP NO-ONE ELSE NO-ONE ELSE - Hawkwind and Pink Floyd are two good reasons to be proud of our musical heritage.
If you’re still listening to this masterpiece just know you have an amazing taste in music
I am , Silvermachine was the beginning (11 years old. Cheers!
Had my first proper trip listening to this band in 88'....
I'm 51 and my lady 66, we eat mushrooms and listen to music (her herbal/hash blends are fantastic, btw)
Going to see them in 3 months glasgow

Respect! I think your father would be proud of you :-)
Once a Hawk.....
I saw them live just once. Good gig. Lemmy was not with them at that time (1973 I think)
your dad had taste, great you picked up on it.cheers mate
wow thanks for sharing your story / condolences and i hope you rock out at his legacy
Thanks for sharing your story - your father died too young but I am convinced that his love for Hawkwind gave him some substantial value for his life. Respect that you honor your father's legacy :-)
Been following Hawkwind since I discovered them when I was 16. I'm 65 now. Brilliant. Love this track.
I’m 67!
me too !!!
For hawklords everywhere!!
With you my brothers started loving them 1973 I'm 67 i was lucky to see them in the late 90s so cool got to meet nic at the bar
snap!!!!
This has been one of my favourite Hawkwind tracks for 36 years now.This video takes it to a whole new level.What a ride!
Thanks for the video feedback, always appreciated, glad you enjoyed the visual journey..

have to agree the change up at 3,29 is one of the great moments in modern music and this video complements it perfectly
keep coming back to this track..... classic
I'm Freshly 18 I've been a die hard fan since i was 17 and i saw them in 2017 in the into the woods gig with my dad who has loved Hawkwind since around the same age. Incredible band and modern music doesn't come close to what Hawkwind did in the early space ritual period. God bless Hawkwind!
Should be required listening for all human beings; the change at 3:10 is still my favourite of all time.
It still gives me goose bumps. Dave Brock isn't the greatest musician, but it's genius.
David Brock is a very underrated musician & a superb singer & composer. Live an incredible sonic experience!!
Saturn V vid, but it looks to me like a Redstone in the video.
I like the change at at 4.37 too
@@EdwardGatey There's no way. The mercury-Redstone was not 2% the thrust of the mighty Saturn V. This is the real deal, and likely one of the earliest manned Apollo missions.

Amazing tune! Apart from 'Silver Machine', I didn't get into them until my 40's ! I am now 58 and love em! dx
Why not silver machine ?
I meant that; all I knew was 'Silver Machine' ( Great tune) cheers dx
@@davidwaterhouse2552 you’re forgiven 😆
I bought my first Hawkwind album in 1986, saw them live for the first time in 2001, but didn't really get into them until 2006 at the age of 35.
Likewise. Now 68 though!
Love your passion to provide good music. This takes me back to when I took up with a "convoy" girl back in ' 81/82..., black micro dots ..... I met God that night only I couldn't remember what wisdom he imparted....
To Angie, wherever u are , what a week....
Steven Stratton bee there man
you remembered her name - thats impressive in itself!
Who doesn't love the convoy? Love to you sir. Microdots. I can't believe I tried to cut one one in half. Yes I fucked it up 😁😂🤣
And love to Angie xxx
Love that build up then the drop at 3:29! Awesome track and brilliant lyrics. This must have been mind blowing live back in the day.
Saw then a few times back in the day - it was mind blowing
My All Time favourite group/band..
to me there's no equal, in sheer depth and relevance..
Space is Us..thanku Dave, thankyou

+Boojumish I could not agree more! Lemmy's base playing was a big driving pulse in Hawkwind. RIP Lemmy!
Holy shit we are all waiting for it like an orgasm.
I concur
Goosebumps 😁
BOOM sha lak lak lak
thank you for the upload. perfect reminder of those heady tripping days at stonehenge where Hawkwind played for free and we danced till dawn
Araratmedia what about windsor where they played for free and blew up their equipment uslng an ice cream vans generator for power
Holy shit! You old hippies still with us?
Roy Andrews,I knew who's van it was too.
Well, this music is a darned sight better than disco soul and funk (c replaced by n here). And not all hippies are old.

Space is dark, it is so endless
When you're lost it's so relentless
It is so big, it is so small
Why does man try to act so tall
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?
It does not feel, it does not die
Space is neither truth nor lie
Into the void we have to travel
To find the clue which will unravel
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?
The secret lies with our tomorrow
In each of us is a hidden sorrow
The path goes onward through the night
Beyond the realms of ancient light
Is this the reason, deep in our minds?

Wow,great memories,i remember seeing them live in the mid 80s,in the Convoy field at Glastonbury,when Glastonbury was still real.One of the better acid trips.
Just close your eyes head back and travel deep into space. I’ve been doing it from 72 at high school. Now retired and still doing it
Space is deep, but not for Apollo astronauts, as they only went into low Earth orbit. Great audio and video!
My favourite Hawkwind track,great on headphones!
Just found this looking for Hawkwind videos, man this is great stuff!
Oh man ... this, 'We took the wrong step years ago', and so many others ... bring tears to my eyes. Hawk goes onward through the night ...
Wrong song
Awesome drum fills on this track by Simon King, and it's gotta be my favorite component of the entire piece. Definitely propels the music far and beyond what the early '70s was providing at the time in terms of power and precision. 👺✨🗡👺
Absolute class.
Into the void we have to travel...
this is one of the best videos ever made to accompany music in my lifetime ever! welldone sirs!!!
Summer, Hawkwind, Camping under the stars, groovin'...happy daze...
Just awesome - Hawkwind kings of space rock!. To me the best version of Space is Deep is the live one from the 1990 The Best and the Rest of Hawkind album - the build up and then the drop is phenomenal on that version - well worth a listen!
If you're a first time listener, I would recommend you hear...
Warrior On The Edge Of Time (1975)
Quark, Strangeness And Charm (1977)
Levitation (1980)
Sonic Attack (1981)
Church Of Hawkwind (1982)
They should be enough to get you hooked.
Then just wiki the band for a full discography and start from the beginning.
Space ritual and HOTMG?!

Levitation not heard for awhile my copy went missing Will look it up.
Same with lyrics On a cold & frosty morning.,Mirror of illusion.
brilliant video. Really encapsulates the music superbly well.
I've been into this band since i was 15 61 now still love them nobody sounds like em❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖😊😊
Interesting vibe. Before this track, the only Hawkwind song I'd heard was Silver Machine, which was more straight up rock. This one has more of a folk-psychedelia feel to it. Great clips in the vid.
Welcome aboard the good ship hawkwind

Hawkwind are what my future astronaut listens to while tooling around in microgravity on board the ISS. So many evocative tracks( most of them, to be fair), been a fan since 1976, I think. In my late 50s now, their music back- catalogue is spectacular and varied, a rich seam for newbies to Space Rock 🪨 as a genre.
. . . REMEMBER, YOU CAN HELP NO-ONE ELSE
NO-ONE ELSE
- Hawkwind and Pink Floyd are two good reasons to be proud of our musical heritage.
