Live at the El Mocambo is a 1993 live album by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Recorded in March 1978 from a live radio broadcast by CHUM-FM, a tape of the broadcast was obtained by Canadian CBS and released only as a Canadian promotional album in the same year. As the show's fame began to grow, it became heavily bootlegged. It was first legally made available with this release (as "Live at El Mocambo"): either as one disc of the 2½ Years box set, or to US purchasers of the first three CDs, in exchange for tokens included in the CD packaging, directly from Rykodisc. The concert was reissued, as a mainstream release, on 29 September 2009 by Hip-O Records, with the same content of the 1978 promotional album.
