I've always appreciated El Mocambo, but I felt that it didn't fit on Live You Live. Being a small club show, it has it's own energy and vibe that doesn't gel with the other three sides. It really should have been released in its entirety and/or on its own. I suspect that it would have been better received as a seprate release.
I hear you , but what are you going to do ? Airbrush him out like they did to Bill on that one release ? That would be a glaring hole now wouldn't it ?Quote

I didn't want to make the joke but since you posted some pics...
Ok let's go :
I hope Keith will be airbrushed from the artwork cos in 77 he looked like a walking corpse. A casual punter might be repelled by the sight of the legendary guiartist in his "March'77" (dis)incarnation.

I truly respect the author of this discussion. But where does the insider info come from that no one else seems to have in regards to a release of El Mocambo?

In some ways the last show of pretty much anything that had with rock'n roll to do. A milestone in stones history, and a great closure of a band heading for a new direction.
Best laugh of the day award goes to this post .Quote

Umm.. While millionaire rock stars might not have noticed it, punk (Anarchy in the UK released in 26/11/76) at least was going strong by that time. Probably disco too, couldn't find a proper citation for that.
Also, I think Keith might have been on heroin in the late 90's.

Love You Live was the first Stones album I ever heard, and the first versions of Stones songs I ever heard. My brother bought it when it came out, I think for his 21st.
Hearing the percussion, the Fanfare, that French voice the crowd, the announcer..."Le Rolleeng Stones!!!", that sort of a shuffle on the drums from Charlie and then those chords, pulling as strong as oxes, the cattle of the sun.... I'd never ever heard anything like it, ever, the power of that moment was phenomenal, and remains so. It just blew the doors right out. Those chords always will...
Side 3 is brilliant, but I've always loved side 4 - that messy, ragged It's Only Rock n Roll, the fast-as-@#$%& Brown Sugar, then the ultraviolence of Jumpin Jack Flash segueing into the incredible, violent,chaotic churning energy of LYL's Sympathy - firebombs going off, wild guitars at the maxx, a screaming Jagger, huge drums n percussion, sounds like the stage is being whipped - a cacophony of noise - it's utterly glorious. I was 14.I felt like smashing up some chairs. I was like that guy whose head explodes in Scanners.
I'd like to see that Abbatoirs film released....

I've always been a big fan of Love You Live, the only thing is that after getting my first TOTA 1975 bootlegs in the early 90s, I thought they were so much better compared to LYL. But prior to that, I listened a LOT to that double-album. Apart from the El Mocambo tracks, I think side 4 is terrific.

HTW, Happy, Hot Stuff and You Gotta Move are excellent, too, imo.

Not sure about 1997, though. I think Keith was just kidding in that interview when he said he 'dabbled with it'.
