Chris Willman Music WriterA legendary club gig that the Rolling Stones did as a one-off in 1977 will finally get its official release May 13, as “Live at the El Mocambo” arrives as a two-CD set and quadruple-LP as well as digitally.The Stones have occasionally done “underplays” over the years, but probably none more notorious than their showing at a 300-capacity club in March ’77. Four of the songs were released on the “Love You Live” album that followed in September of that year, which mostly consisted of material captured earlier and in far bigger settings, even as fans wished they’d just gotten the full club set instead.Two songs have been released — “Rip This Joint” and “It’s Only Rock ’N’ Roll” — in advance of the full album, which arrives May 13.
The secret 1977 shows had the band billed as the Cockroaches for appearances March 4-5. The mystery group was supposedly opening for a huge Canadian band, April Wine, which turned out to be the actual opening act for the Stones.The new album includes the entirety of the latter show and three additional songs from the opening night, for a 23-song track list.Several of the songs were from the then-new “Black and Blue” album, and one, “Worried About You,” would not be released until the Stones pulled together their odds-and-ends album “Tattoo You” four years in the future, in 1981.
Others include classics from their long history. But of greatest interest is the generous inclusion of covers, mostly from the blues realm, including “Little Red Rooster,” “Mannish Boy,” “Worried Life Blues” and “Route I 66.”The full rundown of tracks:1.

Jack White has suggested that The Rolling Stones copied The Beatles in a new interview.Speaking to MOJO, White praised frontman Mick Jagger saying that he was “smart” and was always “feeing whatever the hippest thing was” in the 1960s, including, he went on, “copying” The Beatles – their biggest rivals of the day.White explained: “People want The Rolling Stones to be cool, dirty, raucous. They don’t want to understand that The Rolling Stones were chasing a hit constantly and feeding off whatever the hippest thing was, copying whatever The Beatles did last week.“That disrupts the fantasy. And the fantasy’s amazing – I have indulged many times with those kinds of bands. That’s not an insult.
