  In January 1997, when the live recording "Hawkwind - Live 1997" was captured, the band was in a phase of revitalization and creativity, following a period of fluctuating line-ups and musical exploration. Prior to this live performance, Hawkwind had released the album "Distant Horizons" in 1996, showcasing their space rock roots while incorporating contemporary elements. The album continued the band's legacy of blending heavy psychedelic sounds with science fiction themes. Notably, during this particular era, Hawkwind was celebrated for their energetic live performances, often characterized by elaborate visuals and theatrical elements that augmented their music's cosmic themes. The setlist from the 1997 concert, featuring tracks like "Silver Machine" and "Brainstorm," highlights their enduring appeal and ability to engage audiences with both classic songs and newer material. This period solidified their status as pioneers in the space rock genre.
