LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-MARCH 4, 2019…52 YEARS AGO THE ROLLING STONES RECORDED “LOVE YOU LIVE” AT 2 SECRET SHOWS AT THE EL MOCAMBO TAVERN IN TORONTO CANADA. THE SHOWS TOOK PLACE MARCH 4TH AND 5TH AT THE SMALL CLUB IN T.O.
HOWEVER, ONLY 4 SONGS WERE RECORDED AT THE NIGHTSPOT, BECAUSE KEITH RICHARDS ARRIVED LATE FOR REHEARSALS, AS HE AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ANITA PALLENBERG HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION AND TRAFFICKING HEROIN WHEN THEIR HOTEL ROOM WAS RAIDED. ADDITIONAL SONGS TO FILL OUT THE ALBUM WERE RECORDED AT PERFORMANCES DURING THE 1975-1976 TOUR.
ANOTHER GREAT STORY ABOUT THIS ALBUM IS THE COVER. THE STONES COMMISSIONED ANDY WARHOL TO DO THE ARTWORK. HOWEVER THE PENCIL SMEARS SEEN ACROSS THE FRONT WERE ADDED BY MICK JAGGER. HE FIXED THE ARTWORK, MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF ANDY WARHOL.
THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN LIVE STONES. HERE’S A GREATVERSION OF ‘BITCH’
