Yes it is!!


Thanks moy

The FULL gig??

As far as I'm aware, only about 30-40 mins of one of the two shows has ever circulated (it was uploaded to the tracker yesterday for anyone who's interested), with some new mixes, etc.

Thank you thank you thank you  

I remember listening to ALL of this on AM transistor radio in Buffalo.
Maddening. I couldn't drive yet.

Were any RO'ers (gimmekeef, LazyBones) or IORR'ers or Shidoobee's  at the El Mo
that magic night???

I'd like to know.

This was that header

Hi
A friend of mine sent me this El Mocambo thread....I am new to the group...
I am the "Ottawa guy" mentioned in one of the postings...who had the original Dirty Work listening tape back in 1985 before tthe LP was released....it was a 2nd generation copy of Ronnie's listening tape ....the quality is unbelieveable.......I got the tape from a sound engineer I met during the 1984 Olympic Games ..........he contacted me in the spring of 85 (still have the post card he mailed telling me about the Dirty Work mixes..)
Yes I also attended the March 5, 1977 El Mocambo show......I was in Montreal on business and was called at 3pm by my girl friend (now wife) to say we won the CHUM FM contest....I flew out of Montreal on Canadian Airlines flight 5.05pm and arrived at TO airport...rushed by taxi to CHUM FM on Yonge St. in time to get on one of the buses for the contest winnners...
The show was incredible ...I wrote an article for IORR back in 1982'ish detailing my experience and the set list for that night.
Keith signed an autograph for me....I was standing beside the stage immediately beside the sound board....
Following the show we hung around in case any of the Stones came back out.........after about 15 minutes Ian Stuard came out and started packing up some of the equipment....
I walked up to him and asked him for an autograph......he looked at me and said why do you want my autograph?.....and I replied...
"because I know who you are and what you really mean to this band..." .....he broke out in a big smile......it was a great 'Stones' moment for me...
I played for 15 years in a Stones band 1991-2006.....I re-joined with James Douglas (former singer with my band Torn and Frayed) in 2007 and we formed a band called the Powergoats ...our first CD was very Stones influenced ....
We are finishing off our 2nd CD now....if anyone is interested check out http://www.reverbnation.comww.reverbnation.com/thepowergoats
especially THREE MINUTES, STUCK OUT, BRAND SPANKING USED  - cheers Pops Richards

powergoats?  what a silly name for a band.

  i don't believe his story until i see proof from a ticket stub, the article he wrote or keiths autograph.

I have known this guy for 25 years (Hi David) and he's a great Stones fan and totally on the level. He did a story about winning the radio contest in IORR magazine in the early 80s. If you were a Stones fan then who was a fan club member you might have read it (you could always buy a back issue if you need to). Totally legit. Maybe you could welcome someone to the board is a more tactful manner.

Why is it so difficult for you to believe that someone actually attended a Stones show?

THE GUY JUMPS ON FOR THE 1ST TIME AND BRAGS ABOUT THIS AND THAT AND YOU EXPECT ME TO GIVE HIM THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT??  my brain doesn't work that way... i believe it like i bellieve the lady who said elvis wiped his sweat on her napkin....

if he has an autograph of keith....prove it

>>after about 15 minutes Ian Stuard came out and started packing up some of the equipment.... <<

After 15 years with the band, Ian is still faithfully packing up the equipment for the boys.  

BTW, great story!

Great story pops Richards, welcome to the board and thanks for sharing, what a great first post

We're going to have some more headers from el Mocambo as we did for the last days to commemorate 33 years of those shows so If you have picture and want tro share them with us GREAT! they will be used as headers and I'm sure everybody will be more than happy to see more pix.

I'm sure hers was much more exquisite. The money I saved was put to good use though! or was it? can't remember what bar I did end up in.

After. Keef was busted a few days earlier - February 27.

Edith Grove wrote on Mar 6^th, 2010 at 4:24pm:

Yeah that's what I thought. Still packing gear after all those years. You would have thought they had real roadies do it. But great story Pops.

Cool story Pops!  Thanks for sharing.

I wonder what song they're playing in that pic - Mick on guitar, perhaps "Cracking Up?"

This was that header, I think Keith was on a good mix of fine drugs

With today's header Left Shoe Shuffle sent me also this link to a 1978 CBC interview where Mick and Keith discuss playing the El Mocambo

gotdablouse wrote on Mar 8^th, 2010 at 5:21am:



Yeah, it has since been bootlegged. Its the one with 'Deep Love', "What am I Gonna Do', 'Baby Youre too much', 'Strictly memphis', 'Invitation' etc.

Dont think any of those bootlegs were released until about a year after Popsrichards sent me the tape, though.

and 2
