How did Pete end his place on the drums ?
Was he marooned on a small island blown up by a nuclear bomb ?

As the legend goes:
“Three years after he joined the band, while performing at the Isle of Lucy Blues-Jazz (alternately Jazz-Blues) Festival with Buddahead, Bond spontaneously combusted in what many audience members believed was part of the show. (AOL) (At the time, the other members of Tap were regrouping at Nigel’s castle in Lichtenstein after the Megaphone disaster.) Nigel: “He just was like a flash of green light, and that was it. Nothing was left. Well, there was a little green globule on his drum seat. It was a small stain, actually.” Bond’s charred drumsticks were retrieved by manager Ian Faith as mementos”.

OK, so the video (Official) isn’t what you might call awesome, but the song is.
I still think this is the most perfect song by anyone, ever:

Hawkwind - Moonglum.
From the 1985 Stormbringer Live gig. It’s one of the best live Hawkwind albums.
Somewhat bizarrely, there’s not a studio version, but it’s Hugh Lloyd-Langton’s finest hour. RIP.
The abrupt cut-off is because it segues into another song. Cherry Red used to sell a DVD of the concert, of which a few songs survive on YouTube.
