Recorded I really can't say off the top of my head, but there are three moments from live shows that stand out in my memory.
1987 on the 20/20 tour promoting Blind Before I Stop at Newcastle City Hall. Meat threw the microphone to the floor of the stage and filled the CIty Hall with the line "I can see Paradise, by the dashboard light" with his unamplified voice.
2006 at Mannheim two days before the RAH show, I was lucky enough to be standing right at the edge of the stage during Bat and despite the full on soudn that is the band and the vocals through the PA, I could still clearly hear Meat singing the lines from Bat Out Of Hell into his mic.
2007, last night in fact at The Point. At the end of Objects when Meat was singing the final "Objects in the rearview mirror may appear clsoer than they are" refrains, as he slowly dropped the mic from his mouth we could still hear him singing.
Those moments will live with me forever.
