I still want to get my hands on the full El Mocambo recordings? Maybe it was filmed?

Listen to the EL Mocambo show that is available. Dance Little Sister and Route 66 are phenomial! IMHO, they were clinging to life as a band.... and came up big. Little Red Rooster is great, Mannish as well. very hot!

Johang, the one or two 1975 I've heard I don't much care for any more than the '76 stuff I've heard.

Ronnie doesn't rock much on Around and Around. His playiong is too light and playful in tone imo.

Ronnie's style is well suited to Crackin' Up though.

Mannish Boy is novel but it's not classic in any way. They've done more intense versions on the last tour. Again Ronnie's twangings make it hard (for me) to take seriously.

But really.....time to shut up until I hear a boot of the show.

I agree with Mathijs on the 76 audience recordings, a lot of them sounded like the Stones were really kicking. On DVD's they look like they're having a pretty good time as does the audience so what;s the problem?

The problem is that they have been fairly lame since 75, except for Knebworth and El Mocambo. And who care of Ronnie Wood's playing on anything? Its hard to tell on the audience recordings how good it really is. Still what was the full setlist for Mocambo?

Check out www.frayed.org for old setlists.

Well I have to say I LOVE the version of Rooster on LYL - it's the same version and the same key that we play it in and it sounds awesome! (it's on our CD).

Regards,

Ian.

Both shows were taped. The songs available could be a from both shows.

<Mannish Boy is novel but it's not classic in any way. They've done more intense versions on the last tour. Again Ronnie's twangings make it hard (for me) to take seriously.>

Ronnie's twangings on the Licks-tour are awful. The 77-version is brilliant. BTW, Keith does some great stuff on this version, and Jagger's vocals are priceless.

Kingen,

Wasn't it the first time for Crackin' Up as well?

No, it was done in the early sixties. Nice version available as well.

<No, it was done in the early sixties. Nice version available as well.>

A live recorded version?

Crackin'up: live recording session for the BBC in July 1964. Broadcast 23-07-1963. 2:16 minutes chear magic!!! It's on some boots.

It had great back up vocals by Keith and Brian.

Do notice that Cracking Up on LYL does not have the original guitars anymore. Instead, you hear a least four Ron Wood parts.

Mathijs

I want the whole show on dvd or cd, who has it?

Nobody has the whole show on cd, let alone dvd. But if you find it, contact me please!

I am certain someone owns one or both shows becasue it was sold not so long ago?

Sold not so long ago....where were they sold...well who has them...?

The DVD that exists of this show: What's on it?

JumpingKentFlash

Jagger probably bought the tapes.

Is it the Holy Grail of Stones shows?

I think the holy grail of Stones shows will be released when they quit (Hopefully in the year 5073). Boy they must have some cool things lying around.

JumpingKentFlash

Both shows were recorded by the Stones. There's an interview with Keith the day after the first gig, and he runs through the soundboard tape with the interviewer. This tape was, according to Keith, useless as it had technical problems like wistles and hiss. He hoped tonights show will be recorded better.

Mathijs

A DVD sold of it? First I've heard of it!

Both shows were of course recorded by the Stones for LYL. It was the sole reason they played there in the first place.

The holy grail of Stones shows? Not even close.

Marquee 12th July 1962 would win that award by a mile.

There is NO dvd of these shows. Marquee '62 is a holy grail, but one that will never be found. Most probably no recording was made. So for me the 1977 are the holy grail. I think they will turn up not long after the Stones quit.

George Chkiantz has made a 20 minute professional film of the Stones in 62/63, and he also filmed them in the Marquee. Maybe this film ever sees the light of day!

Mathijs

There was a show from Richmond in 1963 auctioned off at Sothebys a few months ago.

In the absence of the Marquee holy grail show, I'd settle for that one!

Did anyone note the setlist for it? - I had it, but lost it

What about a complete '69 soundboard. Ni! Ni! Ni!
