Live at the El Mocambo is a 1993 live album by Elvis Costello and The Attractions. Recorded in March 1978 and released only as a Canadian promotional album in the same year, it was 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 purchasers of the first three CDs, in exchange for tokens included in the CD packaging, directly from Rykodisc. The concert was issued as a mainstream release on September 29, 2009 by Hip-O Records, with the same content of the 1978 promotional album.
