Hawkwind - Amsterdam Melkweg - 1st August 1984

Musicians: Dave Brock, Nik Turner, Huw Lloyd Langton, Alan Davey , Dead Fred, Clive Deamer.

A Genuine StuArt Space Rock Preservation Society Master Stereo Recording (SRPS CD019/20)

Recorded using an Awia recording walkman and an external stereo mic from the very front of the balcony, fairly central onto TDK MA C90 tape for parts 1 & 2 and a TDK SA 90 for part 3 & 4 with dolby off.

Transferred in March 2007 to Adobe Audition, tracked and added fades in Adobe Audition 2012. I have used Hard Limiting on loud crowd sections of applause and not any music. Apart from that I have only Normalised.

After sleeping in the street and spending a day hanging out in Amsterdam, Frenchy sees us outside the Melkweg and lets all 6 of us in for free. We then spend the next few hours getting stoned with Nik in the dressing room. Then find ourselves a good spot at the front of the balcony and settle in for the evening show. I'm totally wiped out by then and sleep through the support band. Nik gives us a shout out before Born to Go, tidy. A great few days and two amazing shows. I think this one sounds a bit better because of the metal TDK MA tape can handle the volume better.

Enjoy this great spaced out set.
