Just home from Wolves. Great show
Dave Brock is 82! When the band came back on for the encore, there was no Dave. Expect he was knackered. I'm fairly sure this must be the last tour, Dave did what he could and sat down for several numbers. His band are very good, I expect they will continue touring
Comedian Stewart Lee was on the front row, apparently he's a hardcore fan

Can't recall if Lemmy was in the band. He'd probably been booted by then. I wouldn't have known about him then anyway. I borrowed Space Ritual at school, but it was a bit off the wall for me at that time  But good on Dave Brock. That's some age to be doing that 👍 |

That's incredible. What an historic experience for you.
I only know Silver Machine because at the end of our youth club disco, this was always the track they played when the lights went up and everyone hung around, not wanting to go home.

Saw them in Manchester last night. Again, no Dave Brock on the encore.
He's recently been hospitalised so is obviously pacing himself during gigs. Six consecutive nights is a big ask at his age.
Great gig overall and Brock is still in fine voice!

Great gig overall and Brock is still in fine voice! The encore thing must have been planned I wonder why? Youd think you'd want to take the applause at the end and the rest somewhere else? |

I wonder if Brock is perhaps considering still releasing albums (the next HW album is already 90% recorded) but sending the band out to play gigs without him given his advancing years and health issues? Not sure I'd want to see that but stranger things have happened. |

Not sure I'd want to see that but stranger things have happened. Yes I think so. The band still sounded like HW to me when he was offstage. I would be up for going but I do wish they'd play more of the better known songs. I did think they were surprisingly commercial selling silver machine teeshirts though! Maybe a second coming of the Hawklords 😁 |
