El Mocambo 1977

El Mocambo 1977 is a live album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 13 May 2022. It was recorded on 4 and 5 March 1977 at the El Mocambo club in Toronto, Canada. The club had a capacity of 300, and the gigs were "secret", with winners of a contest invited to see Canadian rock band April Wine with support from a group called "the Cockroaches", who were actually the Stones accompanied by keyboardist Billy Preston and percussionist Ollie Brown. The set promoted the band's then-most recent studio album Black and Blue; most tracks were taken from the second night, with only three from the first night: "Luxury", "Melody" and the previously unreleased "Worried About You". Four songs recorded at the El Mocambo had been released in 1977 on the live compilation album Love You Live. It was the first release from the Rolling Stones since the August 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts.
