Live solo album from 1979 by former Gong guitarist Hillage and his band.
I first heard this over 30 years ago, and it has a special place in my heart. Hippie Progressive Rock, where the songs act as a framework for some extended Space-Jams. The section during their cover of Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man, where the band switch into overdrive, and Hillage delivers some stinging hi-speed guitar still gives me goosebumps...
Great album, but probably not for everyone.
AllMusic 3+/5 stars.
Must give this one a try!
