It was rawer & real. Today is a great visual & musical show. 81 was raw & a few guitars, drums & a singer. Love both but If I want to put a live album on its 1981 still life. It what I heard as a kid.
well i personally prefer the 81-82 tour over the 89-90 tour
and i love both tours
i also wasn't alive for any of those tours
so the idea that i'm somehow looking back on them thru some drug infused nostalgia seems unlikley
What a crazy take. 100% wrong!
Of course every one was different after as it was a decade later and things change...

We haven't seen the interior art if there is such. There's always a picture of Bill there if he was part of the band then. The only exception, I mean he ain't mentioned anywhere and he's on a lot of cuts, is the RARITIES CD 17 years back. I don't think they ever did that again. Which may have also been a negotiable business angle between them and Bill. They seem to get away with as little Bill as they can, but he is included.
To exclude Bill from the Rarities cover (where he does not play on all of the tracks) is one thing, but to exclude him from the artwork of El Mocambo in such an obvious way is pathetic. They even made sure he can't be seen in the promo film they put up on Instagram.
It gets really depressing the ludicrous amount of moaning and negativity from posters who seem to hate the band, but generally it's a few people with a lot of posts, I wish they'd give it a rest, as they never have anything to say you'd want to read.

No. It's a document from a time when it is Bill Wyman handling the bass. Simple as that. It's not like a commercial poster for their forthcoming tour.
But, as somebody mentioned, it could be a part of the contract or how Bill wants it to be for all I know
Thanks, just received an email flyer.

It really doesn't matter. They can't airbrush his legacy, or his part in the foundation of the band's sound. Even much of Keith's bass playing is close in sound to what Bill established. Now, if new technology allowed them to remove Bill's old bass parts and replace them....that would be grounds for justifiable homicide.
But it's not a new release. It's from 1977!
It's an appalling piece of revisionism to exclude him - but we hope for equality in the internal artwork.

StonedRamblerI think your personal emotions play a big part in how you perceive and remember a concert. A lot of people look back to a time where they were younger and had their first Stones concerts ever so it was still something really special and exciting. I think a lot of people don't seperate these personal memories and emotions from the actual performances of the Stones. And most people also did not went sober to Stones concerts when they were young and neither did the Stones. That surely plays a part as well. At my first Stones concert I was also completely out of my mind. It surely was a trip that made the concert special and I probably will never experience a concert like this again. But not because of the Stones' performance, it has more to do with myself. But some people won't admit that...Quote

Interesting to read the different perception of various people.
And imho direct witnesses (aka "I was there dude!") are often NOT the best persons to assess a tour or a show.
If they were stoned or drunk (69 72 75) it was "best show evah". If they saw a stadium gig (81 89) in the nosebleeds they'd tend to report it was poor or boring.
Great post. I don’t know anyone personally who saw the Stones in 1981 and talked about how much the Stones rocked, they talk about what a great experience it was.
I had a great time at the concerts ( don’t do drugs or drink in public ) and me and friends still talk sbout what a great experience it was but nobody has ever said the Stones were good because they weren’t.
Stones are by far my favorite group ever but I went 8 years thinking they were just hype as a live band. Then I saw them in 1989 and they were amazing, I was with someone who was a massive Springsteen fan who had seen Springsteen and even he said the 89 show was the best concert he had bern to. Night and day from 81.
The crowds were actually into the music in 1989.
well i personally prefer the 81-82 tour over the 89-90 tour

1981 tour was huge. Your Fox News ego won't change history. Get over yourself.

Nobody said it wasn’t huge. It just wasn’t very good.
Second song of the concert and the crowd was acting like they we’re at a college lecture. The whole tour was like that.

I’d also like to say thank you to the Stones organisation for putting El Mocambo be out. It’s been he Holy Grail for years - and yet this thread is nothing but squabbling and moaning. I despair.

Why did they take so long to release it ? Nowadays' technology may be part of the answer. Maybe the tapes were really damaged, and AI or any other thing make it possible to restore them properly. Makes me think of Giles Martin stating that in a few years technology will be there to separate the Beatles' early albums tracks so he can remix them. That would be full of promises for all the not perfect soundboard we have from the early 70's.

It's particularly wierd with Bill Wyman not being on one of the inner sleeves, since he's playing so fantastic in this El Mocambo recording, also on the 9-10 songs we previously had. Anyway, this will be the best release since....maybe LA Friday or Brussels; yet this be more exciting than even them, as we didn't have most of these tracks before.

I agree. I have seen every US Tour since 1975. In 1981 they played every song at breakneck speed as if they just wanted to get done and get the hell out of there. Ugly day glo colored stage, shitty song selection and ridiculous costuming. I am surprised so many people liked it when compared to other tours.Quote

It was awful. Worst tour ever for The Stones. Garbage 80's releases. It was an embarrassing drug infused mess. I went to 3 shows. What a joke looking back.

The brilliance of the 1981-82 tour wasn't apparent to me, initially. I didn't particular like Still Life, and the few clips I had seem didn't help. However, the Leeds and Wembley releases are genuine awakenings; especially the former; it's a monstrously good show: so raw and ragged; so ramshackle and magnificent. Keith shines throughout; the manic guitar-break on Let Me Go always raises a grin. Despite this, though: I do 'get' why some may not like the tour. Unless you caught them in '78, you were witnessing a vastly different setup, approach and sound to the 1976-76 tour.

Re El-Mocambo.
I’m going to be fascinated in any audio difference/s in Mannish Boy, Crackin’ Up, Little Red Rooster and Around & Around versus those on Love You Live.
Will Bob Clearmountain’s reverb on Mick’s vocals make THEM sound too different?
Will there be overdubs over the overdubs?
