Real shame Glastonbury has never had more classic rock bands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacey Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I saw the Pink Fairies a couple of times in the 70s at the Roundhouse. I thought Lemmy was with them but i think I saw Motörhead as well so may be thinking of that. Also saw Hawkwind at Brunel university around 1976/7. It will be great to see them at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdusty surfer Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 The music of my youth! Seen them far more times than any other band....Well, they used to be everywhere. Hope that they might play the Space Ritual album in its entirety as they did a few years ago. This gig trumps all the other headliners. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 This is ace news, I will certainly be there. Saw them for a few songs at Bluedot a couple of years ago, but had to leave due to hungry kids and a disinterested wife, but they were ace...

tjamest Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hawkwind was my first ever gig at Chatham Central hall in 1975 when i was 14 Dont remember much apart from- They seemed to play Sonic Attack for ever They didn't play Silver Machine, Stacia danced naked but i had been too vain to wear my Joe 90 national health specs and couldn't see her from my balcony seat. We all got free badges from a big bag that was passed from seat to seat which at the time i put down to a nice hippy gesture, but in retrospect they were probably nicked from the merch stand Although Lemmy had been sacked the previous year they were still selling his "Lemmy a quid til Friday "T shirts. 44 years later it may be time to see them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big respect to anyone that gets sacked from Hawkwind for being too out of it!! His Lemmy name came from that "Lemmy a quid til Friday" phrase. I want one of those tshirts!
