Palace Springs is a 1991 live/studio album by the English space rock group Hawkwind.

Although released in 1991, this album was recorded in 1989 prior to the previous album Space Bandits. The first two tracks had been recorded with a mobile studio, while the remainder were recorded during a tour of North America.

Background

The live tracks were recorded during the band's 1989 tour of North America, their first tour there since the late 1970s. The Minneapolis show was issued as a double CD in 2008 by Voiceprint.^[2]

Set

The full set typically ran as "Magnu", "Down Through The Night", "Treadmill", "Time We Left"/"Heads", "Hassan I Sabbah", "Wind Of Change", "Assault and Battery", "The Golden Void", "Back In The Box"/"Arrival In Utopia", "Brainstorm", "Dream Worker" and "Damnation Alley" with an encore of "Needle Gun" and/or "Ejection".^[3]

Notes

"Assault And Battery" and "The Golden Void" were renamed for publishing purposes. However, in renaming the tracks, their titles were erroneously transposed.
Although "Heads" forms the middle section of "Time We Left (This World Today)", it is banded as a separate track on the CD.
"Damnation Alley" has a different middle section to the Quark, Strangeness and Charm studio version, this one being a reggae influenced piece that would be worked into "The Camera That Could Lie" from It Is the Business of the Future to Be Dangerous album.
