Hawkwind-'Love In Space'(Emergency Broadcast System), 21 April 2005
Well assembled 2-CD release of Hawkwind's 'Alien' tour the band had done of the UK and U.S. in 1995.Several tracks from their 'Alien' CD show up,like the opener "Abducted","Are You Losing Your Mind?","Alien I Am","Kapal" and "Xenomorph".Really dug the unreleased cuts,like "Elfin","Photo Encounter" and the mesmerizing title track "Love In Space"(may be the best version of this tune).Classics include a foot-stomping take of "Death Trap","Robot","Silver Machine","Welcome To The Future" and "Assassins".Vocalist Ron Tree had just joined up at the time 'Love in Space' invaded our beloved planet.Good sound and a great mix.Comes packaged in a brilliantly designed cardboard holder with color photos of the tour.Better than their 'Business Trip' live disc.A should-have.

SpaceRock Warlords Abducted Me, 16 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This is a great live concert.I was at the London gigs and this DVD presents 90% of the material that they played on those dates.
This is one of Hawkwinds finest live performances,encapsulating
everything that makes them a great live band;thundering rock,otherworldly synth textures,great lightshows and performance art.There really is nothing quite like it.I have seen the band live over forty times,and this was one of the best so it is great to see it captured here in its full glory;from powerful new numbers like"Sputnik Stan" and "Xenomorph",to perennial favourites like "Hassan I Sahabah",and "DeathTrap",there is even a rendition of "Robot",that absolutely rocks;they also wheeled out a Terminator-styled Robot during this number.Brock,Davey,Chadwick,and Tree on top form.Highly recommended

One of the better Hawk DVDs, 1 Feb 2004
There are several Hawkwind DVDs out there now, and this is one of the better ones. Of course Chronicle of the Black Sword is a classic, despite the horrible video effects. The 'Classic Rock Legends' DVD is actually rather good: a decent picture and a solid performance. 'Night of the Hawks' is fairly horrid, on the other hand...This DVD was recorded during the 1995 tour to promote the latest album, the very good (and now very tricky to find) 'Alien 4'. The line-up is Dave Brock (as ever), Alan/Ali Davey, Richard Chadwick, and Ron Tree. The performance is very good, and the sound is excellent. The picture quality is decent without being spectacular - there is some occasional blockiness. The highlights are 'Alien I Am', 'Love in Space' (both with excellent Brock vocals), 'Robot' (with a great effort by Ron Tree at this Calvert classic - complete with robo-suit and even a real robot!), and 'Silver Machine', which comes off rather well, again with Tree singing. Many of the tracks are of the fairly mellow, space-synth instrumental mould of mid-90s Hawkwind, as you would expect, and for the most part work well. All in all a good DVD - you get more songs for your money than the 'Classic Rock Legends' release, and there are some really great tracks here. 'Robot' is a stunner!
