Greenwich Blade
Hitch-Hike General
Please can we talk about this, instead ?
Always felt a bit sorry for Harvey Bainbridge. Cruelly dissed by Ginger Baker, but a key member of possibly the best Hawkwind lineup in their entire madbastard history (though this claim could generate an entire thread, possibly an entire forum, in its own right). Certainly a key contributor to what is possibly their best album
Greenwich Blade = long outed in this regard. BushBlade, if I've previously missed yer 'Wind allegiance, I'm delighted to make yer acquaintance.
Ginger Baker was not at his best at this time; according to Dave Brock his dog kept biting everyone too.
Levitation is indeed a brilliant album and my first Hawkwind LP, but Nik Turner is one of my all-time heroes. That gig at Stonehenge was a real rite-of-passage moment, with the gig at the Octagon in November 1984 being one of my favourite gigs of all-time.
