Rolling Stones at the El Mocambo 49 years ago tonight - in 1977 (lemmy.ca)
 

No live video, but photos of the Stones playing at the El Mocambo with the palm tree images in the background along with the audio from that night of them playing Dance Little Sister. Amazing!

Billed as 'The Cockroaches' opening for the Canadian band April Wine, this secret gig was recorded and some songs appeared on their Love you Live album, and the whole recoding was released in 2022 as "El Mocambo 1977". This is also the concert where Margaret Trudeau, wife of the Prime Minister, was famously photographed partying with the band.

That is an excellent link, something we all need to consider with any major purchase. Not to excuse Chinese manufacturers, but interesting to consider what goes into our 'European' or 'North American' cars, too:

At least 30 major car manufacturers are potentially implicated – including heavyweights in electric vehicles like Tesla and BYD. Even supply chains for quintessentially European brands are tainted. From touchscreens to engines, car parts made by coerced workers in Hubei, Shandong and other manufacturing hubs across China have ended up in some of the world’s most famous car brands: Mercedes, BMW, Volvo and Citroen.

    I understand we need to wait and see about pricing and warranties and the availability of service centres here in Canada, not to mention better understanding of quality issues and of course environmental and human rights issues, but...

    Which potential Chinese cars interest you the most to drive here in Canada? Personally I'm tired of soulless cookie-cutter SUV/CUVs and am far more interested in the 4 door coupes and smaller city-cars. Think downtown Montreal cars with personality rather than suburban Alberta parking lots in places like Sherwood Park outside big-box stores.

    Are there any vehicles 'really made' in any single country? For instance, I don't think there are any cars 100% made in the US. Assembled in the US of course, but my understanding is the parts come from around the world - the Corvette is the first example that comes up in a search - assembled at the Bowling Green, Kentucky plant, using a combination of domestic and international parts. Roughly 40-41% of parts for the 2025 C8 originate from the U.S. and Canada, while approximately 31-32% are sourced from Mexico...
