More Hawkwind/Turner hijinks?

Earlier this week, I saw that a list of US tour dates for the fall of 2014 were posted on Nik Turner's Facebook page.  The next day they were gone.  I didn't copy them all down, but I remember that it had Nik & Hedersleben playing the Middle East club in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Sept 12 (same venue where I saw him last October).  No mention of Nik on the Middle East web site - they show some other act playing on that day.

I'm not taking sides in the Hawkwind/Nik battle, but I hope that these dates are real.  Loved hearing classics like "Orgone Accumulator" live last fall.

Argh!  Ticketmaster.com shows the Boston date has been cancelled, and there is no mention of any US tour dates on www.hawkwind.com.

I guess the entire tour of the US & Canada has been cancelled?

Would have loved to have seen that WoTEoT tour...  Oh well, I did enjoy the Nik Turner show last fall.

That was his first post EVER...hmm.  Tells me something right there.  But I'm objective, so I tried to "look up the real story," but the "various websites" link just directs you to the Wikipedia page for Hawkwind.

Sorry, I'm not biting at this point.  I guess I'll have to wait for the truth to be revealed.

In reporting the new date of the Denver show today the Denver Post referred to them as "Longtime British art-metal band Hawkwind".  LOL

Email i got from ticketmaster indicated no Perhaps at the makeup date, which is a shame since the word I had from them was that they were instrumental in getting Hawkwind over to begin with. Hope those guys will comment here

In case you missed the bad news posted earlier this week on www.hawkwind.com and on their Facebook page:

05.10.13 - USA tour postponement, please read

As many of you will now be aware Dave was taken ill a couple of weeks ago. Doctors have confirmed that his condition is stress related, aggravated by the trademark dispute in the United States which could result in years of litigation. 

After enduring a series of tests, Dave has been advised that it could be dangerous to his health to embark on a gruelling 14,000 mile tour at this time. After much discussion about possible ways forward, the members of the band have reluctantly decided that it is necessary to reschedule the dates to March 2014, rather than put Dave's health at unnecessary risk. (New dates for each venue will be announced next week)

Whilst we understand this will come as a big disappointment to those of you who have booked tickets, as it does to ourselves, we are equally sure that you will understand health concerns must take priority.

Hi,
 
Can't blame Nik for only doing the big cities and making sure he can come away with a couple of dollars off the tour ... a lot of these bands, like Nik's suffer in small towns and areas where they do not have the larger pull of population. And of course, Porltand, Vancouver, Seattle and Vancouver, is too far away travel wise for them to make it this far.
 
And dang it ... I was in the mood to get my ears roto-rooted again!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Could be overdose of Hawk music.
Shake & bake.

It's mentioned in NOW magazine also.
Show isn't until October.Give it  a few hours or a couple of days,
and I'm sure things are gonna work out.
They have been here several times,so why not play here again,
as they are in North America all ready.
Patience..........Wink
Shake & bake.
