Recordings
Surprisingly,
mostly due to Hawkwind, there are a number of recordings available from the
festival , some are even official releases - there's even one in my local
library here in Australia !.
After
a great deal of searching through a seemingly endless number of Hawkwind
sites on the net I discovered these performances had been recorded and were
out there in some form .

A
lot of these shows have also been split up and spread across numerous bootlegs
but you should ignore those and trade for the complete shows for free , following
the free festival spirit to its logical conclusion ,( although we should buy
the legitimate release of the Stonehenge 84 festival to support Hawkwind ).
Please don't ask me if I have any of these shows because I've not been collecting
them. If YOU have any of them I wouldn't mind picking up the best ones.
Bronz

Hi,
I played at Stonehenge in 1977 and 78 with a band that later became an
80's Metal band that did really well in USA ...BRONZ!!- .back then though,
we were a three piece band, sounding more like the Pink Fairies.
I have a 2 hour live recording of Bronz from the 1978 Stonehenge Festival
(sat/sun) on the "main" stage, which is really excellent (complete
with bogus tamborine / percussion players from the audience)
Crazy days!
