I think the Rolling Stones hadn't played a club-gig since 1971 (Marquee club).

The Rolling Stones have played more than 2000 concerts in their long and rock and rolling career. There must have been a couple that could be seen as "important stages" or "turning points" in their touring history. I am sure everybody has a different opinion although most people would probably agreed that Altamont belongs to that category. I believe that the 2 El Mocambo shows played in 1977 were also very important shows. I think the Rolling Stones hadn't played a club-gig since 1971 (Marquee club). When they toured in 1972 and 1973 I don't think they did any club. Then 1975 and 1976 no clubs either. Going to the club produced a great musical side on "Love you Live" and seemed to have energized the Stones. It also enable thousand of fans that had only experienced the Stones as a stadium or arena act to hear them in their natural element, the club. In subsequent tours the Rolling Stones kept playing clubs and even build the B stage to celebrate the spirit of a true rock and roll show. Hail Hail to El Mocambo!

Really? The sound usually isn't good at all (for The Stones or anyone) in a large, indoor stadium.
