THE STEVE HILLAGE BAND - LIVE AT THE GONG UNCONVENTION 2006



The first live performance of The Steve Hillage Band in 25 years!


Steve Hillage’s live set at the Gong Family Unconvention in November 2006 provoked a rush of excitement and emotion at the event, and this was beautifully captured on film and recording.

Staged at the Melkweg club in Amsterdam, all the original members of the legendary psychedelic band Gong came together and performed their own individual sets.

Guitar legend Steve Hillage, who was a prominent part of the “classic” Gong line-up of 1973-75 felt it was a great opportunity to perform again some of the songs from his successful 1970s solo albums.

Performing with Steve were his long-time musical partner Miquette Giraudy on synthesisers, Gong bass player Mike Howlett who played on Steve’s 'Fish Rising' album from 1975, and Gong drummer Chris Taylor who started playing with the band in the 1990s. Also guesting was Basil Brooks on synthesiser, who played in Steve’s band in the '70s.

The CD has 3 exclusive bonus tracks recorded live at Amsterdam’s Sonesta Koepelkerk in Dec 1979 and ends with an interesting early version of one of Steve’s 'Fish Rising' classics performed before it was recorded with the band Gong.

The DVD has bonus material in the form of a substantial interview with Steve and Miquette, and background clips from around the Gong Melkweg event.
