The Rolling Stones will release a live album from a pair of secret shows performed in Toronto in 1977. The recordings from those two legendary concerts have been bootlegged for 45 years and are finally getting a proper release.
The two shows were attended by just 300 people each, mostly radio winners who believed they were seeing Canadian rockers April Wine supported by an unknown band called the Cockroaches. When the show began it was, of course, April Wine who provided support.
Live At The El Mocambo is due out May 13 on digital, 2CD, 4LP and 4LP Neon. The album features the full set from the March 5, 1977 show plus three bonus tracks from the March 4 show. It has been newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain.
You can hear “It’s Only Rock ’N’ Roll” and “Rip This Joint” now on all streaming platforms and in the player below.
