Hawkwind were (and I guess still are) a strange phenomenon with their own niche and some devoted followers. For me they are a sort of cross between Status Quo and Pink Floyd but too much on the Status Quo side for me get too enthused. Nonetheless the gig was exciting and engaging. The riffs drove on incessantly, the synthesizers swooped and dived and the blue 'police car' light on the speakers circled endlessly.
The largely student audience at Durham was obviously not enthusiastic enough for the band though and the gig ended with a lot of swearing from the band and some puzzlement from the audience who had enjoyed the gig.
