I found this show somewhere online a couple years ago. I've since tagged the FLAC files, but done nothing else to them. SHN files are referenced in the original text file below, but I never had them. I've only had the FLAC. This is my first upload, so hopefully it all goes well. I attended this show, 27 years ago today, and I've included another text file in the download with my voluminous and somewhat goofy gushings about the show which I wrote before I went to sleep that very night. I was high like kite on a very powerful cannabis infusion. Let's all remember that I was a 21 year old American in England for the first time, and this was my first Hawkwind show. I'd been worshipping them since I found Space Ritual in 1976, so this was a BIG DEAL. I've also included a photograph of a poster which I tore off a wall leaving the show. I was in the very front with a camera, but my elevated state of mind and my inexperience in photographing a live show seem to have yielded nothing of real value. Tant pis. This is an excellent sounding recording. I've listened to loads of Hawkwind shows, and the quality of this is top-notch. I haven't seen it on DIME in the year or two that I've been on, so all of you Hawkfans should definitely grab this. cg _____________________ ORIGINAL TEXT FILE Hawkwind Queensway Hall Dunstable U.K. 1983-02-10 Dave Brock: Guitar, keyboards, vocals Harvey Bainbridge: Bass Guitar, keyboards, vocals Huw Lloyd-Langton: Lead Guitar, vocals Nik Turner: Saxophone, flute, vocals Andy Anderson: Drums This was Andy Anderson's 2nd gig (of only 8) with Hawkwind.

Queensway Hall is a circular dome - virtually a hemisphere. If you stand in the center and speak quietly (in the empty hall) the echoes of your voice amplify what you are saying quite freakishly. This recording was made close to the stage - which was very wide. The sound sources were mostly on-stage equipment, rather than the PA - the sound from the PA passing mostly far behind the microphone. Perhaps because of this it has an unusually clear sound (given the unsophisticated equipment used) - in particular the instruments are quite clearly placed across the soundstage (listen to Dave Brock's guitar!)

Master Of The Universe 4:21 Total Time: [45:23] I think I hear Nik squawking offstage at 2:36 in Coded Languages, maybe 3:02 & 3:44, possibly even earlier - prior to his apparant appearance on stage @ 4:01. Following audio repairs were made in CEP: From start of audio: The entire 93 minutes were normalised. I noted analogue flaws at: d1t03 (Choose Your Masks) : 0:25, 0:42 d2t03 (Solitary Mind Games) : 4:37 d2t07 (Brainstorm) : 5:24 I slightly repaired the one at 0:25 in d1t03, the rest are untouched. There are probably a few more similar, but the recording is generally very good considering the basic equipment used. The tape flip in Psychedelic Warlords was a bit of a problem. I tried to figure out how to patch it from 16/2/83, but the tempo (as well as the sound) was very different. In addition, the structure seemed somewhat different. However the last couple of seconds before the tape flip pretty much matched the first couple of seconds afterwards, so with the loss of approximately 2-3 seconds IN ADDITION TO the music already lost with the tape flip, I patched the two segments together without a break. I think the result is better than leaving a silent gap in the middle of the track. It's 5:19 into Psychedelic Warlords. In reality there is probably 15-20 seconds of missing music. The gap between the band leaving the stage, and returning for the encore is significantly cut. But you probably guessed that. The fade out at the end of disc #1 duplicates the first few seconds of d2t02, and the fade-in at the start of d2 duplicates the last few seconds of d1t10. To rejoin (ie using the .shn files), simply omit d1t11 & d2t01. __________________ UPDATED FFP INFO flac fingerprints: Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t01.flac:983031d71aee7ac7628745b0ba71e0ba Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t02.flac:1d0b2897f11f106714288b102ce8175c Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t03.flac:915964609838312a70c69edfe29576b9 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t04.flac:9d9072656f33df8538b9bfc721bb251e Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t05.flac:2791bdc3d53dab24174c07c0c290da2b Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t06.flac:a31c014ae390ef6a0c862d4704b876c6 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t07.flac:79ba69b9547e7e2a6a39837e9ceb4daa Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t08.flac:4f729751adba38d8b41ecddc21461d59 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t09.flac:c55bafafc0fa6a09c4b9962df76c8737 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t10.flac:d71fefca172e05d3d30fccf0b58b2e6e Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d1t11.flac:328603084e90ee2f8f74bec667b55e46 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t12.flac:4f10f9008d54d38d846fe7493ccc91ed Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t13.flac:c9bc99f0416dd12da5bbb93ae9332d11 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t14.flac:b6c3382d88cae39a99aa42919bf2bc0d Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t15.flac:ae3010d4d98cae08642600e78d251bf9 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t16.flac:b5b77d9280ab97c373f8e8543be79574 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t17.flac:a5255d20c1f885ee74258397c42fa0dc Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t18.flac:b5bc3b7b8a743f3d5bfaaf579de55133 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t19.flac:3e8710a9e9f02f8e0117f793de544991 Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t20.flac:1755897a31ac866849122775d6d62d3f Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t21.flac:93c67ee421338372bc0cea48ff4832ab Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t22.flac:1f1103b2d2fb99c3c1b2deb98c3b1abb Hawkwind - 1983-02-10 Dunstable Queensway Hall AUD A - d2t23.flac:da8230c3ebf13bff4a5ffeb1d4bea719
