  In January 2005, when the live recording of "Silver Machine" featuring Lemmy took place, Hawkwind was experiencing a period marked by their long-standing legacy as pioneers of space rock. Prior to this performance, the band had released the album "Take Me to Your Leader" in 2002, which showcased their evolution with the incorporation of contemporary elements while still paying homage to their roots. This album was particularly notable as it was a reinvention for the band, introducing newer members and adapting their sound into the modern era. The performance of "Silver Machine" is significant not only for featuring Lemmy Kilmister, the iconic frontman of Motörhead, who originally contributed to Hawkwind in the early 1970s, but also for underscoring the band’s continuous influence and collaborative spirit in the rock genre. This live rendition exemplified the band's enduring impact and their ability to connect different generations of rock music.
