Hawkwind- Wirrina Stadium – 30th September 1981

• supported by Mama’s Boys
• “at 9.00 the Hawkwind trio took to the stage. At Reading, they had a good gig, despite their reduced ranks. Peterborough was a disaster music-wise but the amazing lightshow kept the whole thing on a reasonable level. It was just one of those nights when so many little things went wrong that that the band were never able to get into overdrive and put the sparkle and imagination into the gig. They just had to work like crazy to keep the set going. Dave (Brock) said afterwards that on the rare occasions when it did start to fall into place, he was so surprised that he just dried up !To the band, the night was a terrible disaster saved only by the lightshow. To me, it was a good night. I stood near the back of the hall by the mixing desk and revelled in it. The band played with a powerful, driving energy to compensate for the lack of lead guitar and the effect was very similar to some of the fast and muffled parts of the space ritual and the lights were exceptionally hypnotic. All in all, the impression was one of being at an early Hawkwind concert. The lights brought the screen to life and the music throbbed around the hall and seemed to enter directly into my head bypassing the ears. A strange sensation which was caused, I suppose, by the fact that the music leaned heavily towards the bass notes. Whatever, it was a good night for me. I did record the gig but it sounds awful and the band begged me to erase it and when I wouldn’t then suggested that I shouldn’t play it to anyone else ….. in fact they thought the gig was so bad that the fans waiting for autographs were given signed programmes by way of an apology for not giving a performance which was considered to be up to standard !”

• “This was the third time I have seen the boys and this was certainly the best gig. The Candy’s were good support, and the lead singer joined the libs on stage at the end..although Pete didnt seem too impressed, Karl loved it! The set was really short and sweet and if i remember correctly the setlist was … Horror Show, Up The Bracket, (a new one i think called) Vertigo, Mayday, What A Waster, Bangkok, I Get Along, Boys In The Band.Spoke to Karl and Pete before the gig aswell, and they really are genuinely nice blokes! I asked them to play Death On The Stairs but Karl was having none of it. It was the best gig ever – the crowd went mental which added to the atmosphere, although at one point things got so mad that the barrier threatened to collapse and we could have been crushed but it was all good for a laugh!”

After returning to the stage, the running battles resumed and the set was abandoned !
