![]() ![]() This is the closest most of us will get (the video would be closer, I suppose) to the full experience of the band during their absolute peak. They were never the sort to interrupt a good groove. Other times jam bits or parts of other songs creep in. Some of this is due to edits for length, which someone with more spare time can feel free to document. I didn’t buy the single, but I remember going to visit my school friend Iain MacDonald at the Kings Arms Hotel in Castle Douglas which his parents then owned. There are various songs that are lengthened on the "Space Ritual," album and shortened elsewhere. Silver Machine by Hawkwind had been released 8 June and by July it had reached number 3 in the UK charts. The version of "Time We Left This World Today," on this album clocks in at 5:47, while an alternate nights performance from one of the various bonus discs has a version that is 13:22. They produced several live records over the course of their career, perhaps to try to capture the uniqueness of each performance. Even though their albums are all great, live is truly the way they were meant to be enjoyed. "Space Ritual," is probably the band's most well known and popular album. My favorite, and probably the most accurate description of the band is, "Pink Floyd with guts." That pretty much says it all, I think They were also the people who first brought us Lemmy. The thing is, they weren't actually any of those, they were their own weird hybrid of intergalactic space dirt bags. Long before it was ever imaginable, they united punks, metalheads, hippies and science fiction geeks. ![]()
