My bad!
First Band I ever saw live - Worthing Assembly Hall (Monday 24 February 1975)!
The Space Ritual remains my favourite live album of all time.

That's a magnificent song. What was the A-side? Something off Screamadelica?

Oasis - Lets all make believe.
Oasis have written a lot of excellent b-sides(the masterplan is an album that many bands would kill to have as their best hits). This isn't actually my favourite b-side of theirs but it is one of them. I'm a big fan of Liam's, keening, earnest, honest vocal in it-one of his best IMO.

Suede did a good line in 'b' sides. Their first b side is a corking song and entirely appropriate b side material, not 'hit' material and perhaps a little undercooked for a stellar debut album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ADO9G4ElCQ

Well said sir! Great song that I've only ever seen as a live recording on the Turning Japanese B Side. Given that both their albums 'New Clear Days' and 'Magnets' are nothing to write home about, I can't believe that they never thought it worthy of doing in the studio.
Here is my favourite EBTG song. B Side of 'Come On Home'

Pixies had some good ones. Notably this beauty which, if memory serves me well (which it often doesn't) they opened their gig at the Top Rank in 1989 when I was supposed to be getting an early night before my chemistry A Level https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bToet4R7Hec

The A Side was called 'Loaded,' but it was actually an Andrew Wetherall remix of 'I'm Losing More Than I've Ever Had.' He changed it so much that they called it by another name. Both great, but surely not as good as this Primal Scream B Side:

This is on an EP, but it is on the B Side with 'Rainy Night In Soho' being the song pushed as the lead track. Always one of the Pogues finest moments and now particularly beloved by many fans of the greatest TV series ever made:

Hope the link works.
My favourite T Rex song of all time. B side to Jeepster. I give you Life's A Gas.
The line "I hope it's gonna last" is quite poignant.
