One of the All Time Great Live Hawk Albums

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

*********************Personnel
Tracks 1-7 (recorded at Lewisham Odeon, 18 December 1980)
* Dave Brock - electric guitar, keyboards, vocals
* Huw Lloyd Langton - guitar, vocals
* Harvey Bainbridge - bass guitar, keyboards, vocals
* Keith Hale - keyboards
* Ginger Baker - drums
Tracks 8 & 9 (recorded at Stonehenge Free Festival, June 1984)
* Dave Brock - electric guitar, keyboards, vocals
* Huw Lloyd Langton - guitar, vocals
* Harvey Bainbridge - bass guitar, keyboards, vocals
* Nik Turner - saxophone, flute, vocals
* Alan Davey - bass guitar, vocals
* Danny Thompson Jr - drums

*****************Technical Stuff
I have the 1994 Griffin cd. I know there is also one on Cleopatra, but I've found that their releases are always bricked (google 'loudness war' for more info). The Griffin cd sounds great, no loudness war stuff. And the recording and mixing of the tracks is excellent.

****************The Music
Although the album is subtitled 'live at stonehenge', only two tracks were recorded at that festival in '84. The bulk of the album comes from a gig during the "Levitation" tour in 1980.

The "Levitation" line-up was really solid, with Ginger Baker (from Cream) on drums, Tim Blake (from Gong) on keys, and the newly rejoined Huw Langton on guitar. This lineup produced a heavy sound, and they stayed away from the punk and new wave sounds of the preceding two years. And the result is one of the best live Hawk albums of all time.

The album kicks off with a fantastic heavy version of "Psy Power", great hooks. Two songs from the "Levitation" album are included, "Levitation" and "Space Chase", great stuff. Probably the best song from the 1980 gig is "Shot Down in the Night", where the double guitars of Langton and Brock jam mercilessly.

The two tracks from the free and disastrous Stonehenge festival fit quite nicely in with the 1980 material. The playing and sound quality is excellent.

**************************Summary
This is one of those Hawk albums that captures the spirit and the essence of the band. It is great for newbies, and essential for fans.

An excellent live album from Hawkwind, a legendary band that has a good many live recordings available. This features great versions of 'Circles', 'Levitation', 'Space Chase' and 'Watching The Grass Grow'. None of the performances are less than fine though, and the sound quality is excellent. Mandatory for Hawkwind fans and serious space-rock enthusiasts. What Hawkwind achieves live most bands can't do in the studio, and this is fantastic.

Hawkwind - 'This Is Hawkwind, Do Not Panic' (Griffin)

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2004

I remember first finding out about this CD reissue. Always thought it was some exclusive import that had a bunch of otherwise unavailable material of the band. Turns out that 'This Is Hawkwind...' is actually a compilation disc. But, a good one at that. Originally released in 1984,as Nik Turner was allowed to return to the band and here,we get the first legit release of Turner's futuristic-like "Watching The Grass Grow". Also on this nine-track disc are some newer versions of a couple of older Bob Calvert tunes, "Death Trap" and "Psi Power". Also liked the somewhat hard rocking version of "Levitation". Noticed that some heavy guitar work on 'This Is Hawkwind...' is provided by Huw Lloyd Langton. Most will probably enjoy the two cuts that were reportedly recorded live at that summer's Solstice Festival, "Stonehenge Decoded" and the previously mentioned "Watching The Grass Grow". Griffin put out a LOT of great Hawkwind lp's reissued on CD. Check them all out.

Hawkwind Live

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2007

Never heard of Hawkwind? I'm not surprised, they're not exactly a household name but since you have never heard of them you may find this surprising - over one hundred Hawkwind albums have been released since 1970. That's right, almost three albums a year. True many of them are live bootlegs box compilations and EPs but still, I don't think even the most prolific artist out there has come close to that. Hawkwind is a Space Rock or Experimental Rock band from England.

Obviously there is a lot of history behind this band, which one could probably write a book about but here's the condensed version. Hawkwind was formed in the late '60s by Dave Brock (Singer/Songwriter), Mick Slattery (Guitar) and Nik Turner (Sax/Flute/Singer). Brock was the leader and glue of the band and managed to keep the band afloat through forty personnel changes over 35 years.

Their sound has continued to evolve and morph over the years. Starting with a semi-jazz feel in "Hawkwind," followed by experimental acoustic sounds of early releases - "In Search of Space." They adopted more of a metal sound in the late 70's, a contemporary electronic feeling on "Electric Teepee." They went on to virtually invent a new sub-genre of Progressive rock called psychedelic space-rock, featuring the use of the versatile new instrument - the synthesizer. Their creativity seemed to reach their acme with the use of the synths to augment their acid-space rock expressions.

HAWKWIND

STONEHEDGE - THIS IS HAWKWIND DO NOT PANIC is a live album that was recorded in two locations. The first seven were recorded in Lewisham Odeon theater in London in 1980 and the last two in Stonehenge in 1984. The album was subsequently released in 1984. The music of this album is a curious mix of straight rock, almost sounding like a garage rock (Psi Power)on some tracks and progressive rock sometimes spacy rock ("Angels of Death" & "Shot Down in the Night")on others

CONCLUSION

The more you listen to Hawkwind the more it grows on you. While there's nothing on this particular album that I couldn't go on without hearing again, as a whole it is an interesting, if not impressive, listen and like I said the more you hear it... Overall, for a live album, the production, while not great, is more than acceptable.

If you are interested and have not heard Space Rock with all it's attendant psychedelic nuances, this may be a good place to start. Final Rating - high 3 stars.

Unheimlich. Mächtig. Hardrock by HAWKWIND (live; in feinstes Doppel-Vinyl gepresst)

Reviewed in Germany on March 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Der Sound von HAWKWIND hatte vom Anfang um 1970 an so eine solitäre Dynamik, dass man praktisch auf alles gefasst sein musste. "Do Not Panic" zeigt sich im Gewand des Hardrock, stilistisch also anders als die Ursprünge. Faszinierend ist nicht nur, dass hier Hardrock von absoluter Grandezza gespielt wird, sondern dass der Sound so Historien-schwanger ist, dass selbst die Ur-Fans frohlocken, wenn sie bereit sind für einen etwas breiter angelegten Progressive-Hardrock Stil! Synthi-Meister MOOG verfällt auch bei diesem Hardrock keineswegs in Lethargie, sondern zwitschert und raunzt in bester Hawkwind Tradition. Druck und Power dieses Albums sind absolut spezifisch und gewaltig, es folgt auch nicht im geringsten einem Pfad polierter Harmonie. Es wären nicht Hawkwind, wäre es anders. Wer gern DEEP PURPLE der zweiten Stunde hört, findet hier einen hoch potenzierten Konkurrenten, eher Meister. Wer glaubt, BLACK SABBATH wären eine Insignie, hat dieses Album noch nicht gehört! Wer PINK FLOYD rockiger will, wird dieses Album lieben! Für mich ist "Do Not Panic" das erstaunlichste, ja komplexeste Live-Rock-Werk das ich kenne.

Die zwei Tonträger sind in milchweißes Vinyl gepresst, was zwar schön aussieht aber den praktischen Nachteil hat, dass einzelne Titel mit dem Tonabnehmer nur schwer anzuvisieren sind. Klanglich sind die zwei Vinyls hervorragend, klingen immens farbstark, druckvoll und räumlich, jedes kleinste Klang-Detail projizierend. Das Layout des Falt-Covers ist abgesehen vom Motiv nüchtern, auch gefütterte Innencovers für die Vinyls gibt es nicht. Ein Info-Blatt ist ebenfalls nicht beigelegt. Man muss sich mit der tollen Qualität der Pressungen zufriedengeben.

Grandios, aber nicht neu ....

Grandios, aber entbehrlich ....

Ich kann mich im Grunde genommen meinem Vorredner anschließen. Die vorliegende Live-Scheibe gibt hervorragend wieder, in welch' bestechender Form die Band seinerzeit nach der genialen 'Levitation' Scheibe war, die in meiner CD-Sammlung immer noch einen Sonderplatz innehält. Deswegen war ich zunächst auch so happy, diese recht rare CD hier aufgestöbert zu haben. Die Begeisterung verflog dann später, als ich merken musste, dass die ersten 7 Songs der CD bereits auf der 2009 erschienenen remasterten 3-CD-Edition der 'Levitation' enthalten sind ... in anderer Reihenfolge zwar, aber von exakt dem gleichen Konzert im Lewisham Odeon vom 18. Dezember 1980.
Und die beiden letzten Stücke reißen dieses Manko dann leider nicht mehr raus, gerade weil sie eh etwas unpassend auf dieser CD daherkommen und auch erst vier Jahre später auf dem Stonehenge-Festival mitgeschnitten wurden.
Musikalisch würde ich dieser CD noch immer 5 Sterne geben, Besitzer der Levitation 3-CD-Box brauchen diese Scheibe aber nicht wirklich, das sollten sie wissen. Warum immer wieder solche 'versteckten' Doppel-Veröffentlichungen passieren, wird wohl auf ewig ein Geheimnis der Musikindustrie bleiben.
