Description of Love You Live:
1977's Love You Live lands near the top of the list of the Stones' half-dozen live albums; especially for the brief set of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf stuff recorded at Toronto's El Mocambo (while Keith Richards was waiting out the legal hassles of a heroin bust five days earlier). Billy Preston is the real star of this show though, and his great piano, organ, and soul shouting are all over this record, especially on the opening soul revue of "Honky Tonk Women," "If You Can't Rock Me," and "Get Off of My Cloud." Keith outpunks the punks on "Happy" and Mick is all Mick--Mr. Pouting and Posing--on the notorious "Star Star." --Michael Ruby

Love You Live Reviews:
1977 The Rolling Stones Live on CD.
2009-10-23 - This was a good concert, with a good set list, from a interesting tour, and the sound is pretty good as well.

great
2009-09-16 - I have been waiting since I was 15 to have this and it is every thing I expected it would be, but then again it is the greatest rock band in the world

A Stones fan who needs help - please help .....
2009-02-04 - Hello gang.

Has anybody heard the sound quality on the Argentina CD version of this? I saw it sealed, brand-new for $5.99 in the CD store the other day. I didn't know if the sound quality was bad, or if it's a quasi-bootleg. It appears to have the same CD cover and back art (it says it's remastered ... and from Virgin Records). Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

War Horses Couldn't Drag Me Away.
2009-02-03 - I am a long time Stones fan that just happened to give this album a listen after a long period of ignoring it. I felt compelled to write the following.

Don't let the usual war horses on this album drag you away from it as I did for so long. There isn't a dud in the entire track listing. Sure we've heard them all before a million times over but in my opinion every track is a gem. Especially the "El Mocambo" tracks. I wish the Stones would record more live versions like these. You know, back before MJ was obsessed with shaking his bum and actually cared about the music quality. And KR played like the devil himself (listen to the chugging guitar on "It's only R & R"). Awesome. Probably the last great live Stones release.

And if either MJ or KR ever read this, please stop releasing live albums for the masses. The same old cookie cutter live releases are getting boring to us hard core fans. "Stripped" was a nice change as was "Shine a Light" but how about a tour/live release on the same tip as "El Mocambo"? Just the band playing their favorites live without the jumbotron, lightshow, or other distractions. If you play it, it will sell.

"If you want to dance with Billy on the piano, you can."
2008-11-21 - That's the opening line from Mick on disc 2...and who exactly is "dancing on the piano" there, sir?

Actually, EVERYONE in the band dances on this live outing...the whole band is in top form.

I've always interpreted that as a garbled line that evokes very amusing imagery, especially when one considers the time and place that this concert took place...all that 70s glitter. I can almost see Jagger prancing around in a top hat as I listen.

This is the Stones in top form, with a little punk, a little funk, and a little glam...and it takes place after the release of the 'Black and Blue' album, so they have lots of variety to throw at the audience.

They also mix it up a bit, such as the funky version of "Get Off My Cloud," and the bluesy improv of "Little Red Rooster." Fun stuff.

The only thing that could have topped this might have been a live recording from the Exile on Main St. tour, or perhaps an expanded version of Still Life, which doesn't exist as far as I know...but this will do. Interestingly enough, I believe this is the only live concert album the Stones put out in the 70s.

This full length concert is essential for Stones fans, and an excellent snapshot of the band on the heels of their peak and in the midst of a late 70s noodling into punk, funk, and disco...showing all the little whipper snappers out there who's REALLY boss.

Get it, you won't be disappointed...it might actually exceed your expectations. It did mine, big time.
