Let's bring this back, I thought it sounded good in '89. Mick has commented, however, that it is difficult to perform. It's a rarity, and yet one that most everyone knows - the best of both worlds, yes? What other songs fit the category?
It's one of those latter-day songs which Mick can't sing very good in concert. The 1990 Tokyo suffers from Mick sounding somewhat out of breath.
Other latter-day songs he can't sing greatly live is:
Love Is Strong Anybody Seen My Baby Oh No Not You Again Doom And Gloom
He sings those songs with so much attitude on the records but when he does them in concert it mostly sounds like a struggle.
I'd still love to hear Mixed Emotions in concert. But one limiting factor which really is one of the reasons we don't hear a lot of rare songs is the difficulty Mick has singing them greatly. Listen to Silver Train live in 2014 for example, the power from 1973 simply isn't there.
