i think the biggest revelation for me is that I had always heard that Dave Brock had done a massive amount of overdubbing on the live tapes but that patently isn't the case from listening to the Sunderland gig. Also notable how well rehearsed they were as the Sunderland gig doesn't massively deviate from the Space Ritual set we know and love (there's a bit less of a freak out jam on Orgone Accumulator). looking forward to delving in deeper. The booklet rules too.
in related activity i'm off to see Hawklords tonight.

"Also, the whole thing reminds me that Lemmy really belongs on any list of rock's greatest bassists. He was the engine in the Hawkwind rocket, but so much more than that, almost a lead player half the time and really shaping the music in a way I can only compare to John Entwistle."
I'm reading Joel McIver's Motorhead book and there is a line by Lemmy in there talking about Hawkwind that really at the core it was a trio, as really him, Dave Brock and Simon King locked in then rest of the group just did whatever they wanted on top.

Lemmy can obviously play "lead bass" when it suits him but he usually wanders a lot less than Entwistle. He doesn't mind hammering the same riff over and over.

Should be past tense, he's neither wandering nor hammering these days.

i am looking at the 5.1 blue ray and contemplating resuscitating the blue ray player on my never used "entertainment center" which is nice enough and all, but...
anyone listened to it? then i think of how much i appeciate the remain in light 5.1 downmix i got somewhere. should i try downmixing on like vlc? but i've always heard downmixing is a miserable and failprone marathon. anyone know?
i been listening to this box over time and slowly, finally got the disc9/10 stereo remix. whoa.

If its 10cds, not sure how much vinyl that is. So sounds pretty heavy.

is the vinyl not just the original 2 x lp?

There's a new 50th anniversary stereo remaster in the big box. Maybe that's been released on vinyl. (It's really good.)
