I used to have a couple of tracks like Silvermachine but I am not generally familiar with the Hawkwind thing. Is this the best place to start?

So what have I got then? Space Ritual EMI 2001 double CD. Says on the back Live at Liverpool Stadium and Brixton Sundown but of the bonus tracks Master of the Universe and Born to Go are from the Greasy Truckers Party at the Roundhouse LP (“This ones for the miners, It’ll probably sound alot like a mining disaster, We have disasters up here every week” etc).
On another subject I don’t know if any of you Hawkwind fans can help me on this one but I have a muddy memory of going to see a “musical” of Bob Calverts Capt Lockheed and the Starfighters at a theatre on the Kings Road, Chelsea where the Rocky Horror thing ran for years. It must have been 74/75 ish and I think Viv Stanshall was involved and possibly Arthur Brown. The Hawkwind fan sites I’ve searched say a musical was planned but never happened but I do remember being in an audience with Robert Calvert dressed as a fighter pilot and overacting.
One that definitely happened was May 73 at Wembley Empire Pool, a benefit for IT with Hawkwind, Magic Michael, Deke Leonards Iceberg, Fruup, Sutherland Bros & Quiver and Danny & the Racing Cars who, when they emerged from behind a wall of Hells Angels, turned out to be the Pink Fairies. Neat!

Valve,
What you have is the 2CD "Space Ritual" re-ish on EMI
"Space Ritual Sundown V.2" is a single disc, with the same Brixton gig unmixed and in far better sound quality
Calvert did a performance of "Captain Lockheed"?!
Now I'm totally intrigued; I always got the story that before the tour got underway, it was scrapped due to Calvert's hassles with his management and was subsequently packed off to an institution before it got off the ground
You were at the Wembley gig?!
Fuck, Valve but THAT must have been great
(PS: Do you remember Calvert hitting Lemmy with a sword onstage at this gig?)

What is really interesting is that whilst the double remastered Space Ritual has over the years received many rave reviews and is in itself excellent that it is in fact not really the true live experience as shown from v2 of the brixton tracks which are shown largely unedited, longer, minus new vocals and synth doodlings as seths review of v2 rightly states
So therefore it might be less confusing to think of Space Ritual as being a an excellent live album and then v2 as a separate album in its own right which to me is even better even though the base recordings are from the same brixton show
Confused!
