I have around 90 seconds of them playing Silver Machine in 1972.

The BBC were supposed to have recorded 30 minutes of a gig so that they
could put that track on Top of the Pops (Hawkwind refused to go into the
ToTP studio and became the first live appearance). The Beeb now claim to
have destroyed almost all 1972 material.
