Would be cool for the upcoming shows if they dedicated a segment for a mini-set of "El Mocambo" rarities...Hand of Fate, Hot Stuff, Luxury...maybe switch it up every other night with Crazy Mama, and a couple of the cover tunes including Crackin' Up and Around And Around. Dance Little Sister and Rip This Joint would be fantastic, but doubt they could do them justice these days. Most bands have a brand new album to promote and play some new tunes from, but this would be the next best thing for the Stones. I can hear Mick now: "And now some tunes from our recently released live club show from 1977....EL MOCAMBO"!!! It would definitely help sales.
Doubt Mick would do it.Hand of Fate should be a regular song t their shows together with Too Tight, She Was Hotand Salt of the Earth,rather than songs like Miss Youwhich need a restQuote

Those are all peaks but the best shows from 1972 and Atlantic City 1989 and Tokyo 1990 are just as great.And try removing Bill's bass from El Mocambo and you can see he was essential to their best performancesQuote

What a truely fantastic release this is.
Together with Brussels, GYYYO and LA Friday, it shows the band in it's peak. But imagine this El Mocambo show without Bill Wyman....it would be a much poorer affair. He was realy in his prime in the late 70s and early 80s.

Does Jagger say "tout le long de la ligne" (all down the line in french) during the second verse?
Saw ya on TV this morning discussing Marilyn.

Tumbling Dice sounds really great on here as well. I don't look forward to it in the setlists anymore, as it sounds far too boring these days I feel. Same with Miss You and IORR. But there is just such a fire on this album. Let's Spend the Night Together, Around and Around, IORR.
The whole damn album really does ROCK!!!
Keith was as good as he ever was on guitar on those 1989 -1990 tours. It wasn't slick at all. But to each his ownQuote

That's your opinion, I don't care for the sound or the fully "perfected" performances of 1989/1990 anymore, even though it was great seeing them live back then. But the slickness of the late 80s doesn't rock my boat. Just like pink jackets or mullet hair styles is not something that I find attractive. There's no "danger" in that music, to me.

Yes, Keith was really great in 1989-1990. So was Bill. But Rolling Stones is more than what each members alone does.

My only complaint with this release, is that I don't see much reason for listening to my bootlegs and downloads of any 1976 show any longer !
With a couple of exceptions, classics like Tumbling Dice, there's so many numbers on this release that the "definite" version, even when including the studio recordings.
Let's Spend The Night Together and Hot Stuff for instance, are absolutely stunning
But; the long rumoured "From The Vaults - Paris 1976" release..... I really doubt they would put out Paris 1976 after THIS. I don't mind Paris.....but El Mocambo 1977 takes everything to a different dimension.
