Hawkwind
Solstice at Stonehenge 20th Anniversary Edition DVD
Review by Gary Hill
This is a very good, but not great DVD. Honestly the performance and atmosphere are all excellent. It’s the video and audio quality that leave a bit to be desired. Still, the song list and the line up (with Nik Turner having returned to the Hawkwind family) make it well worth having. The group put in a killer performance with much of it done like some kind of hippie ritual. It all works quite well. The video is a bit dark and grainy, but it’s a sign of the times. The sound quality is actually not bad, but certainly not up to modern standards.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2011 Volume 1 at lulu.com/strangesound.
