The Rolling Stones have announced a new live album that captures two classic ’70s shows, ‘Live At The El Mocambo’.

The 23-track record features the legendary band’s two famed secret gigs at the 300-capacity El Mocambo venue in Toronto, Canada in 1977. It arrives in multiple formats on May 13, marking the first-ever release of the concerts. Pre-order/pre-save here.

The upcoming ‘Live At The El Mocambo’ boasts the full set from the Stones’ March 5 show plus three bonus tracks from their appearance the previous evening (March 4), newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain.

Only four of the featured performances made it onto Love You Live, the group’s 1977 concert album that largely consisted of recordings from their tours in 1975 and 1976. The full set has never been heard before.

To celebrate the announcement, The Rolling Stones have today (March 25) released two of the cuts – ‘It’s Only Rock ‘N’ Roll’ and ‘Rip This Joint’ – on major streaming services. Listen to both below.
