Images By the end of the 80's, after numerous line up changes, arguments over royalties and the death of Robert Calvert it looked like the end of Hawkwind.
But with yet another new line up, the album Space Bandits was issued on Castle to great acclaim, with the band's date sheet fuller than ever, playing dates with the new breed of festival acts such as Ozric Tentacles. This gig was recorded at the band's spiritual home Glastonbury at 5 a.m. in the Travellers Field, it is previously unreleased and includes a blend of old and new material.

Reviews
In 1990, the band line-up on this 53 minute CD is: Brock, Bainbridge (now on keyboards), Davey on bass, Chadwick on drums, and Bridget Wishart on vocals.
Besides the introduction of female vocals to the band's sound, during this period Hawkwind's thematic focus shifted to American Indian mythology (circa their "Space Bandits" album).
"Live at Glastonbury 1990" does not draw upon this material however. The songs here are generally old classics: "Golden Void", "Ejection", "The Assassins of Allah", "Shouldn't Do That", and the obligatory and always stunning "Brainstorm".
Generally, though, Wishart's vocals are drowned out by the masculine accompaniment. While everything else gets washed out by the over-prominent guitar. Even the powerhouse drums are a background element. In fact, much of this recording has deplorable sound quality-it's an audience tape, complete with annoying audience members who won't shut up, and even a dog barking every once in a while.
Which is such a pity, for the performance is dynamic and tight, attributing new riffs and interpretations to the music.
