Unfortunately, this is not the best-sounding recording of the Hawklords, and not even the best audience recording (it's from the Hammersmith Odeon, notorious for poor acoustics). The quality seems to drop off mid-way through, too. However, it includes Lemmy's first appearance with Hawkwind since his sacking in May, 1975. Allegedly he wasn't supposed to be onstage, but rushed the mic during the final encore. He can be heard better on the verses after the chorus, after Bob yields the mic to him.
