Len_derby Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 After a great weekend with old friends in Wales I decided to revisit some of my past and aquired a copy of 'In search of space' by Hawkwind. Listening to it an hour ago I was amazed at how much detail I could remember. I know I've not heard it for at least 30 years. But, most disconceringly, I recognised some of my own so-called 'original' basslines. What a band they were. Seeing them as a teenager in the early 70's felt like a real rite of passage. Adjust me. Adjust me. Adjust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I always wonder about that... I remember tiny little details from songs that I haven't heard in years and years too! I wonder if everybody works the same way, or if it's some kind of gift like a photographic memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I recall seeing them at the Sundown, Edmonton in 1973. Still got a Hawkwind badge purchased on the night. Met their very well endowed dancer that night, but being a tongue tied awkward teenager I said nothing and stared at her chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My eldest lad (33) came round this after noon & wanted to borrow some records out of the loft! Up he went & came down with 3 big boxes full, most of which I'd forgotten about being up there, we spent a couple of hours going through them, several Hawkwind amongst them. I remembered going to see them one time with a mate on Hastings pier, we got a parking space just across from the pier, but our heads were in another place & we couldn't get out of the van, which didn't matter 'cos we could see & hear them just fine great evening! !

Raymondo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes I remember all sorts of things from many moons ago...including all the words to a 1977 Rubettes song that was on Radio 2 today I did see Hawkwind at Reading festival in the Seventies......does that get me off the hook?

gilli1812 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atQX15yZat4 Hawkwind were the first band i saw on the church of hawkwind tour about 1981. The clip is audio only but a great funky bassline when the tune gets going. Harvey Bainbridge on bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wonderful band, seen several times. Back to OT, last night I just started singing The Philosophers Song by Python. I can't have heard it for well over 30 years and yet it popped into my mind complete. Mind, there's plenty of room for it nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
