I do, and have the 10" record. The better live performance though is "Live at the Padget Rooms, Penarth" I think.

Spunk Rock is a bit rough but one of my earliest Man tracks which I played constantly
Live at the Rex is good

This track (!) took me to a different place. John Peel gave me Underworld Arguably their best mix

Oh, all right then. As previously discussed, it's difficult.
David Bowie - 'Five Years' I will never forget the first time I heard this. I didn't know the power of song writing until I heard this track - it sparked a lifelong obsession with music.
Fleetwood Mac - 'I've Got a Good Mind To Give Up Living' My favourite Peter Green song and certainly in the top 3 of any music for me is 'Man of the world'. I'd choose this track though, the 1970, New Orleans live version has the most fantastic solo on it.
Frank Zappa - 'Watermelon in Easter Hay' This is the most beautiful thing that FZ wrote. Nothing more to say. I'd probably take this version of the track to my desert island, played by his son, Dweezil, because the original version is spoiled by the spoken word intro and Dweezil makes an amazing job of playing the track live, usually through tears.
Pixies - 'Cecilia Ann' One of the best ways to begin an album, ever!
Black Sabbath - 'Wicked World' They left one of the best Black Sabbath tracks off the first album! It was the B-side of their first single and the first thing they recorded during the album session. It's got everything needed to make it the quintessential Sabbath song. I hear this and I'm a teenager again.
Paul Pena - 'Jet Airliner' It could have been this one, or it could have been 'Mainstreet' by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Family road trips on the back roads of USA and Canada. Long drives through remote places, dusty roads leading into a vanishing point at the foot of mountains thirty miles away. Breakfasts in diners, big enough to last all day - eggs over easy with hot sauce and tasteless coffee in those thick porcelain cups with an hourglass profile. Deserts, ghost towns, mountains, forests and then a cheap motel in a tiny town, stuck in the 1950's since it was bypassed by the interstate highway system.
Sugarcubes - 'Birthday' Every single time, from the very first hearing of it in 1997 until I played it just now, 36 years later, I get goosebumps and hairs standing up on the back of the neck. Sometime I well up - this music creates a reaction!
Dexter Gordon - 'I Guess I'll Hang my Tears out to Dry' This track represents Friday nights at the Concorde Club and at the Brighton Jazz Festival, where I saw so many great performances. It also makes the perfect soundtrack for Sunday mornings.
Robert Plant - 'Big Log' This track is in my list, not because I particularly like it, but because of the memories in evokes. Summer 1983, when you turned the radio on, this song was playing. I was on a camping holiday in Wales with a couple of mates and 'Big Log' reminds me of hot days sitting in the back seat of an orange estate car, with my bare feet sticking out of the window. Oh, and bad beer!
Rory Gallagher - 'I Fall Apart' This reminds me of my best friend and the love of my life. It's Mischa's favourite Rory Gallagher track.

Big Log gets right under my skin over the years. A superb performance and rather idiomatic recording.
