Back to Basics...El Mocambo 1977! (Episode 383)

 They said its only Rock n' Roll...but true enough, we liked it then and still do! 45 years after appearing as The Cockroaches, Ahmet's favorites, The Rolling Stones released this legendary live mobile recording of a jammed pack club with 300 fans getting what they NEED! Let's close our eyes and imagine...it's March 5th in Toronto, 1977.
