… for miles and miles
Saw Hawkwind. Another precision-timed gig, band began their set almost immediately after I’d gotten then first and only beer.
Played for about 90 minutes. Setlist consisted of both old (and mostly recognizable) classics as well as of newer songs. Started with Spirit of the Age, did a re-imagined version of Psychedelic Warlords, and missed both Motorhead and Silver Machine.
The concert was very subdued, mellow lightshow, no professional dancers - couldn’t afford them, and any amateurs were shooed off the stage in short order. Raps between songs were on the short side, but entertaining - and yeah, the meaning of Assassins of Allah/Hassan I Sahba can be interpreted in that way too…
The average age of the audience was probably the highest I’ve ever seen at Tavastia - lots of old hippies milling around.
Was entertaining, a very good show, but not enough to entice me to see them again in Tampere today.
