  In September 1977, during their live performance at Fairfield Hall in Croydon, Hawkwind was at a pivotal point in their career, having just released the album "Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music" earlier that year. This release marked a continuation of their innovative blend of space rock and heavy metal, showcasing their evolving sound through tracks that experimented with both musical complexity and lyrical content. The live recording features a selection of this progressive style, especially with songs like "Brainstorm," which highlights the band's signature improvisational skills. Interesting facts include that this period saw the departure of Robert Calvert, who was pivotal to their theatrical stage presence, as well as the introduction of new members that would continue to shape the band's dynamic. The energy captured in this performance underscores Hawkwind's status as a seminal live act during the 1970s, known for their elaborate shows and unique sound.
