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.
