Went to see Hawkwind yesterday didn´t know they were still touring! Havent looked either, but I do like the early to mid 70´s period. Nice bass content to, for most of the show they used two basses , a P and a T bird. Sounded nice together.
Surprised me too that a Dano 6 string bass was used on some songs.

Good show, fantastic sound and visual effects as well, thumbs up for hawk!

Last saw them on the tour after Lemmy formed Motorhead - Paul Rudolph played bass for half the show, then Brock took over... Calvert was on form...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I was hoping for any bass at the Marc Cohn show I saw. The new gf is a big fan. Walking in Memphis was his biggest hit. Nothing but piano, keyboard and guitar all night. Adding insult to injury, one of the songs he played was called Silver Thunderbird. He also covered the Simon and Garfunkel song, The only living boy in New York, which has such great bass playing on the album by Joe Osborn.
I hate to admit it, but the set sounded great. Even though there was never any bass guitar, I would gladly sit through the same type of show again rather than have to suffer through a show of her other favorite group. DMB
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Forgot to mention the opening act was Rebecca Pigeon, the wife of David Mamet. He wrote the screenplay for The Untouchables and also wrote and directed the Phil Spector movie. We missed her set because it took a while to drive through the snow storm. She did come out and sing with the headliner for a couple tunes and had a nice voice too.

Ouch.  I'm not sure if I can think of anyone on earth I'd rather listen to less than the DMB.
