Nah, Love You Live captures the band then perfectly - fast, sloppy, messy, asleep, careless, awful, colour by numbers, rote, brilliant, excellent, tight, awake, interested, inspired...
Love You Live captures it all.

I guess my point was that no matter how good a few of the tracks on the other three sides sound, a whole recording of the El Mocambo set would have been a better-sounding and more unique LP. I don't see why they felt they needed to "document" the '76 tour, when they failed to document the 72 tour that way, and when much better live versions of songs like JJF were out on Ya-Ya's.

The El Mocambo shows where great, but the recordings that ended up on LYL are very much overdubbed with layers of new guitars, vocals and harmonica. I would love it if more of it is released (HOF, DLS and R66 are great renditions) but I don't think we can expect it to be as great as the released tracks.

Sadly wouldn't any official release be equally overdubbed? Same with a 1972 tour album. Why would they change their habits on overdubbing all previous live releases now.

What made the Mocambo side special for me was only the selection of songs.
Musically by far the best side of LYL is side 4. Pure adrenaline.

OK Mathijs,
in your humble opinion which instruments were added on LYL's Mocambo songs?
