I'm still listening to it. I'm not sure we'll ever get as amazing a release as El Mocambo for the Stones, ever. I can't even imagine what would be left of that magnitude. The Golden Era Stones, live, with something to prove. Now that I have it, I realize Love You Live was a big mistake. El Mocambo should have been the release.

I'm as keen as anybody to get a proper El Mocombo release ...but I don't think that LYL was a "mistake" .
Three sides of that album document the typical shows that most of us attended on those tours...so in that respect the release has to be valid.
[...though subject of course to our usual over critical nit picking of every live release since Got Live.... ]
Things must always be contextualised, in my opinion LYL was perfect in 1977, I don't know how commercially productive El Mocambo would have been.Quote

I agree -the main issue with LYL was 'side 2', with the clinical FF, TD and the bland YGM. The other two sides with 75/76 material is excellent, and the Mocambo side is fantastic.

Mind you ... I love El Mocambo, but I have always considered LYL (along with Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out) the best live ever.
It is wrong to compare LYL with El Mocambo live because they are two different albums, the first one tries to reproduce the stadium tour of those years, there is only one side of disc 2 of the concert of El Mocambo, while this live El Mocambo is the whole amazing concert.
Now I'm happy to have them both!

well my copy arrived today and looks great and all
but every single record on both sides is covered in large visible spots of deeply imbedded fine dust
i mean it's nothing that i can't clean out with some effort but i would have excepted this being a new record and all that originally sold for like $150 it would have had more attention given to whether or not the records being shipped out where filthy with dust
anyone else have this problem?

Mine looked fine, but I got the colored vinyl, so it would be harder to tell than if it were black vinyl.
