I always thought LA 75 was way better than Love You Live

LOVE YOU LIVE is a pretty good idea, sans overdubs galore, of 1976, since a majority of it comes from 1976. Only 3 tracks are from 1975.
Given that... the band sounded good yet... lost. A bit long.
As in, overdubs overlooked... fantastically lackluster yet still rocking.
That's all I have to go on, other than whatever 1976 videos on YouTube. Set list wise I'd choose 1976 over 1975.
I have never liked the non-El Mocambo cuts on Love You Live. I felt ripped off in '77. Black and Blue had been a mixed bag. IORR was okay, but not inspired. I really thought Love You Live was signaling the end of their relevance. Then came the great Some Girls, followed by the so so Emotional Rescue. I have sense learned to really like Black and Blue. Maybe I should find a copy of Love You Live and see if it sounds any better now.
Happy was better on L&G 1972and Atlantic City 1989.But I prefer Wood live performances of Tumbling Dice Rocks Off, Star Star.1975 was a great tour.Top 5Quote

I haven't heard better versions of those tunes on other live albums or bootlegs.
Top stuff!
IORR
YCAGWYW
I had IORR on my list at first, but realised it's a 1975-version. It's great anyway
For YCAGWYW there are a few 1975-versions I prefer to the LYL version from Paris (although it's very good). This one, for instance: [youtu.be]

The sound mix on LYL is excellent. They had a lot going on around that time sound wise with Billy and Ollie in the band and it brings it all together in way that 75 boots do not (IMHO), and creates a distinct atmosphere and feeling.

The 75 tour was the last tour they played SFTD without any samples and without plink plonk Chuck, rough and dirty. This is the real interpretation of this song. I like 75 and 76 in the same way, Ronnie was on his peak in soloing. Ollie Brown and Billie Preston made essential contributions. Without them no medley If You can't Rock Me / Get Off of My Cloud, a gem in the catalogue.

Regarding Love You Live, that's one live album that never grabbed me, primarily because it doesn't flow right. It is kind of a mish mash affair. The recordings span from 1975-77. As much as I love the El Mocambo side, wouldn't have made more sense to have released El Mocambo as a complete show (or shows) instead of attempting to throw the whole kitchen sink (so to speak) into a two album set?

Well, it does now. In 1977 it didn't.
LOVE YOU LIVE was started the fall of 1976. Maybe someone has some info as to why they felt the need to record additional music for the album, at the moment I can't recall, but there's nothing stating such a thing on timewaitsfornoone.com that I can see.
LOL in regard to how it doesn't flow right for you:
What we tried to do is make the sides have to stand up on their own. I mean, 'cause peole aren't going to pay a hell of a lot for a live album. So each side should stand on its own, have a pacing just like the show has a pacing.
