Man - Spunk Rock - live Karlsruhe 1999 - 2nd encore - Underground Live TV

[@geoffrees418]

Mickey Jones - beyond compare and his brilliance heard by so few. The Manband - a force untold.

[@flanmeplease]

What a great piece of rock music. And almost certainly played differently every time over the aeons. Wales´s no 1 band of all time,

[@rogergriffiths3345]

The riff has played in my head since I'm a teen & I'm 67 now. Man were a superb Welsh group

[@JayStapley]

snap! They played at my school sometime in the early 70s, my school band supported them. They blew me away!

[@geoffrees418]

Less than 8000 views, should be so many more - and a couple of voters that dont like it - fair enough, their choice. Born in 57, i have seen most of the acknowledged great guitarists, many back in their prime, not their latter day shadows. Mickey Jones - unique, avantgarde, sees it different from the rest and utterly brilliant. Never forgotten in my lifetime.

[@stephensmith799]

yes.... they are still playing live in my mind's eye, 'specially their gigs at Feltham Rocks

[@morbidmanatee5550]

We called it "The Trippin' Blues" back in college days in the '80s ;) Greasy Trucker CD is right here when I need it lol~

[@Rich6Brew]

Mickey Jones on a par with Frank Zappa; never the same twice.

[@yzerbloke]

Great to hear this again. R.I.P. Micky. One of the greatest talents that was only appreciated by those that knew their onions.

[@julieknight2342]

RIP Mickey..... what a band!!!

[@JNPhere]

Great great great great. I love Man. RIP Mickey - you made your mark on me.

[@rolffriedrichwitte]

Highlight of Musik!63 jahr of age und still Love this Band ever.

[@bobgreen623]

If you've not heard it, I can thoroughly recommend the 1972 version on the Greasy Truckers LP

[@TheBeasag]

Brillaint album

[@hashburystumble6021]

is there's a guy in the room named Andy Pew....it's me....I love you. Simply superb live album.

[@rolffriedrichwitte7547]

Luke Green Yes you are right! But here is not original Band.

[@yzerbloke]

Me to and the 1st and best version to me.

[@markcheshire3084]

Totally agree, it’s an amazing version.....as is their gig in general

[@johnkennedy5528]

Full marks for posting this. The Zappa reference is nice, but maybe he wouldn't have had the generosity and vision to embliss a surreal-nearly 20 minute sharing riff-trip with guys so equally tallented? Well, possibly. No playground hair-pulling provocation intended ;). Time for a crusty anecdote? Not long after Greasy Truckers double LP came out I lent it to a long-time mate and utter Bowie fan. Odd that, haven't had it back since. Earlier this year, In Camborne, Cornwall, I came across a un-reconstituted 'Head-Shop' run by a wonderful guy who could hardly move about for racks stupendously stacked with vinyl. Soon found 'Truckers' and off we went zimmer-frame stumbling down amnesia lane recalling Brum in late 60s/early 70s - Especially Mothers. Happy daze. Off tomorrow for Home Of Metal/Sabbath reprise exhibition at BMAG. ps - used to sneak in to Earth/Sabbath gigs in 69/70 help carrying their gear. Keep on the goodness gentle folk. Oh, by the way, I'm one of the few who saw Hawkwind and The Doors at the same gig - twice...sorry, Nurse has my medication. x JK

[@charlesachurch7265]

Hmm maybe I think Zappa did acknowledge Mr Joneses guitarmanship....so there!

[@dasmit-wp6bw]

@@charlesachurch7265 he did, Mickey in Zappa's top ten guitarist list.

[@philiptaylor7958]

This is absolutely incredible. Mickey is on FIRE - what in intro. God I miss these dudes.

[@rolffriedrichwitte7547]

Micky Jones is incredibel Good! Best Band Evers! And all mambers are Very good

[@stephensmith799]

Two wonderful guitarists with very different but complimentary styles: Micky was lyrical and astonishingly musical as well as inventive.... Deke (Roger) was a blinding slide player also described once (accurately!) as a 'precussion guitarist'... a description he was pleased to accept. Pile-driving bass and drums completed the 1990s incarnation of this extraordinary band. Deke was also a talented lyricist and wry observer of life as a rocker. Read his books for an over-the-shoulder view of being inside the band.

[@perromanchado]

touch of Zappa in Mickey's playing. Lovely :)

[@marksandland208]

Not heard this for over 30 years, but it's still amazing, now got to find my copy of the album!!

[@clivebriggs4984]

Great line up, love the SG sound.

[@chriswhite2576]

The Paget rooms in Penarth in the early 70's . I was there, almost as good as Howling Wolf live.

[@stuartpowell7200]

Deke micky Martin a fantastic group long live the man band

[@rolffriedrichwitte]

Schade das ich als Fan von der Band seit dem ersten Album bin freue ich mich das ich MAN aus Wales hier und nach so langer Zeit Live sehen kann. Wir haben früher nur die LP,s kaufen können. MAN Live ist sehr klasse. Wir haben auch weiter keine Ahnung gehabt wo Sie auftreten. Und 1000 Dank dafür das ich es heutzutage mit 64Jahre endlich mal sehen kann. Viele Grüße Rolly Bongo. 🤘✌⏳

[@Islwynpaul]

Genius...I love MAN..

[@davidmacgregor5193]

As I recall this track was originally entitled Spunk Box, Pye, the bands then record label told them they can't call it that, the title would have to be changed. So they changed it to Spunk Rock, the band obviously didn't change the offending word.

[@olivergoodwin9821]

The other way round; "Spunk Rock" became " Spunk Box" on the album cover :)

[@rolffriedrichwitte]

My Favorit Band since Beginning . Welsh😉✌

[@captnodge]

Certainly stands up to its name

[@amarok5048]

Good on ya Deke! Mikey, immaculate

[@justpoppedout]

Close my eyes and i,m back at the RENCO Ponlottyn on a Sunday drinking Blackthorn cider on tap.

[@morbidmanatee5550]

Your face Your eyes Your nose Your mind!

[@griffinzoo1]

I believe it goes: your hair, your eyes, your nose, your mouth. (spunk being the clue here)

[@inglepropnoosegarm7801]

Incomparable.

[@PeteFeenstrafeenstrablues]

fabulous

[@robinlawson701]

Wow, that is the oldest I have seen Micky & Deke play. My favourite players.

[@robinlawson701]

Not So much Martin Ace,, George Jones should haver the Man band, as shown by the excellent Son of man Band albums.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

I believe Frank Zappa once cited Mickey Jones as one of his favourite guitar players.

[@charlesachurch7265]

Not the best band in the world but sure smoked the most amount of dope xxx love always

[@chriswhite2576]

Man were messed up by the Yom Kippur war .They are about to make a brilliant new album , but the the oil restriction after the war , meant that vinyl albums are rationed in the UK .

[@geoffrees418]

Too true yzerbloke - if you havent read Deke Leonards books, then give them a go - you wont regret it

[@griffinzoo1]

It's a pity they never found a good drummer after pugwash. Saw them with Terry once in the 90s, that wasn't good. Then twice with this dude which was awful. Gave up going to see them after that.
