Originally issued as a double vinyl album in October 1977, Love You Live captures the band at a time when their Canadian escapades were making headlines around the world. Released a year on from their triumphant appearance at the Knebworth Fair, it made the Top 5 on both sides of the Atlantic. The album includes the acknowledged classics Honky Tonk Women, Happy and You Can't Always Get What You Want, and the medley If You Can't Rock Me/Get Off Of My Cloud taped during the band's record-breaking run at London's Earls Court in May 1976. Going back to their rhythm'n'blues roots as if they were at the Crawdaddy Club or Eel Pie Island in the early sixties, they revived Mannish Boy, a song most commonly associated with the father of Chicago blues Muddy Waters, the Willie Dixon composition Little Red Rooster, made famous by Howlin' Wolf and a chart-topper for the Stones in 1964, and two more Chess label favourites, Bo Didley's Crackin' Up and Chuck Berry's Around And Around.
