Hippy shit

Terrifying

Super monotonous rock. No melodies and just wild banging on the drums. I really don't like it.

Weird as shit Another space concept album from the 1970s Would like to hear the non live original album. Psychedelic acid trip that I didn't want. Thanks Spoken word poem about orgasms a highlight...until he started shouting at me. Now I'm just scared

Har egentligen aldrig hört Hawkwind, men anar att detta inte är den starkaste plattan. Den mest motbjudande lyssningen hittills tyvärr.

No thank you

Alright i’m going to try my best to get through a couple more songs…no chance I listen to 2 hours of this. Not a fan

This can’t be a real band

I could go on and on about all the reasons I dislike this album, but I’ve spent too long listening to it already and I just don’t want to think about it anymore. Hate live albums. 1/5

I couldn’t get myself to finish this one, having gotten distracted, losing my progress, and not wanting to restart it. Never heard of the artist or the album. It’s not bad in an obvious way or even all that boring, it’s just too long.

Weird as shit 3/10

OK, here’s another genre of rock music I didn’t know: space rock. A few chords over a repetitive bass, aggressive drumming, background electronic “space” sounds… hypnotizing in its way, but I get the feeling it sounds better when high… not for me, sorry.

Live album

Took about 10 seconds to realize this album wasn't for me and i was regretting my commitment to listen to every note of every album on this list. I could have given it two stars if it was only an hour long, but someone decided this deserved a double album and 2 hours and 15 minutes of length. I will say that Down Through the Night was a glimmer of interest, but the rest is pointless noodling dreck.

This album is close to 2 hours which is way too long for an album. The songs themselves are not that good either. There were some good parts of the music but those were overextended and the lyrics were crap. Some of the music was just weird too. I started skipping songs. It is better than a one not really a two. I will round down.

Life's too short to listen to this. I did however skip to Orgone Accumulator out of curiosity. The Pop Will Eat Itself cover pisses all over this.

Yesterday's album was a boring and repetitive effort. So I gave it one star and was looking forward to today's effort. When I saw what it was I had low expectations. They weren't met. I kept falling asleep but it sounded like the same song. 21 times! 1001 Alvin's has thrown up some wonderful surprises - PJ Harvey, 1 Eno album, Keith Jarrett, among others. But it has also introduced me to acts that were so unlistenable it defies logic that they made money.

Way too long for some unremarkable 70s stoner rock

I tried it twice but the quality was bad and also I am not a big fan of live albums. And then the music was too weird for me..

a concert album? no

Hawkward.

2nd March 2022 Listened in the day in the office and on the way to book club at Elliott’s. I don’t. Like. Prog. Rock. Don’t get it.

I'm 2 songs in, and if this doesn't get better, not sure I can make it through the remaining 19 songs... I think I need more LSD for this album. Now 5 songs in - I just can't. The looping effects and screeching make this album un-listenable for me. I shudder to think what the remaining 16 songs have to hold.

not enjoyable in the slightest

Not my thing

Terrible. I'm not listening to this. First 4 tracks were more than enough.

I imagine everyone at this concert was high as a kite. Just typical bad sounding 70s metal. 3/10.

Tried getting into this but could not.

Crummy hippie space junk. It fucking sucks and I hate everything about it.

I expected to at least like this, but it's more jazz with metal.

What a load of rubbish!

Had to turn it off 2 songs in, yikes. Really not my thing - a super jammy Phish like band but more metal sounding

Two strikes before I even started listening to this albums: 1) it's two hours long and 2) it's a live album. Uh oh. The best part was when it was over.

I imagine this is some people's idea of an amazing, legendary album. I get that, but it's not mine.

No thanks

Nothing standing out for me here. Only really like live albums if I know the band and their songs.

Space, psychedelic, whatever. 0% my thing. Sorry Hawkwind.

not my vibe :/
