Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars HAWKWIND-'Weird Tape, Volume 5 Live '76 & '77'(Voiceprint).......2003-12-07

Starts off with "Back On The Streets", a tune that several diehard fans I've touced base with do not dig this song at all.Maybe 'cause it's got a vibe similar to Saxon or say,Motley Crue.I,personally liked it.Next is a good version of "City Of Lagoon".Both are from a live 1976 gig,along with "Where Are They Now?".From an unlisted 1977 show,there's "Brainstorm","Wind Of Change" and a jammin' version of "Assassins Of Allah".One can really hear Simon House's violin playing on "Forge Of Vulcan" and "Steppenwolf"

4 out of 5 stars Good to see these reissued.......2001-10-10

If you're reading this review you're obviously famaliar with Hawkwind since this series is really for collectors, not the casual fan. I don't know what the original wierd tapes sounded like, but these reissues have a great song selection and fair to good sound quality. It isn''t Space Ritual or the 1999 Party but I'm happy that this series is available....

1. Back on the Streets - I'm not crazy about this song but they do a good job and the sound quality is pretty good.

2. City of Lagoon(s) - Nice

3. Brainstorm - Different take on the Nik Turner Classic (to hear a REALLY different version check out Inner City Unit's Passout album feat. Nik Turner)...I really liked this version, the sound quality is very good

4. Wind of Change - Definite drop in sound quality and playing - studio version is much better.

5. Assassins of Allah (Hasan-I Shaba) - Very good version of a classic track. They pull it off well.

6. Forge of Vulcan - Good playing, too bad I never liked this song

7. Steppenwolf - AWESOME!! Almost worth it to get this CD just for this track

8. Where are They Now - Never heard this before...Horrible sound quality but good song.
