Live at the El Mocambo
Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIV : Live at the El Mocambo
Live at the El Mocambo is a 1977 album by the Canadian rock band April Wine. It was recorded during a performance at Toronto's El Mocambo club when April Wine opened for the Rolling Stones during one of the surprise club appearances for which the Stones are renowned, and during which they recorded part of their own live album Love You Live. Live at the El Mocambo was produced and engineered by Eddie Kramer, best known for his work with the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin. Partly owing to Kramer's input, the album features a somewhat more raw-sounding April Wine than most fans are used to from the band's more conventionally-produced studio albums. Among April Wine's many albums, Live at the El Mocambo has tended to be overshadowed by the more commercially-successful Harder, Faster and The Nature of the Beast. To date, it has never been reissued on CD.
Other artists who have also recorded live albums at the El Mocambo include Elvis Costello, Starz, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
