The Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert [40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set] reviewIf the Rolling Stones really were the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band for the better part of the 1960s and 70s, then surely somewhere along the line they must've released one of the great live albums of all time too, right? This rationale is the only way I can account for the fact that the Stones' best-regarded live release, 1970's definitely pleasurable but less-than-transcendent Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!, routinely places highly on lists of the best concert documents in rock history. It feels like the kind of perfunctory acknowledgment that virtually all of the other typically high-ranking sets (for instance, Neil Young's Live Rust, the Who's Live at Leeds, and the Allman Brothers Band's At Fillmore East) don't need, seeing as how they're genuinely awesome.

Live performance never seemed as intrinsic to the Rolling Stones' essence as it did for most of 60s and 70s rock's other heavy hitters. Sure, as soon as playing basketball arenas became a viable rock-star option the always-avaricious Stones rushed to embrace the financial potentialities, but the group's music never cultivated the kind of epic, transformative breadth that best fills an enormous space like Madison Square Garden, where Ya-Ya's was recorded. Big venues demand that everything else be larger than life as well, but outsized song lengths (think the Grateful Dead, Allmans, Led Zep), outsized emotions (the Who, U2), and outsized spectacle (KISS, David Bowie) have never been indispensable components of the Stones' music. It's not for nothing that some of the band's most cherished officially sanctioned live work happens to be the El Mocambo club stuff from 1977's Love You Live as well as 1995's intimate Stripped....full text

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! — recorded in 1969 over two nights at Madison Square Garden — is the last official live document of the Rolling Stones in their swaggering Sixties prime; it's also one of the great live albums of all time.

Expectations were high for the band on its 1969 tour, the Stones' first in the U.S. in three years, and their first outing without guitarist Brian Jones, who had died that summer. They delivered in spades. Keith Richards and new guitarist Mick Taylor combined for angry workouts on Ya-Ya's' "Midnight Rambler" — the album's bluesy nine-minute masterpiece — and a stark, rubbery "Sympathy for the Devil." Mick Jagger and Richards pull apart Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie" into a raunchy romp, as if to prove they had fully mastered the rock form....full text

Marking the 40th Anniversary of the live recording of the Rolling Stones concerts at the Madison Square Garden (come Nov. 27 and 28), ABKCO Records has released 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! 40th Anniversary Edition,' as a Deluxe Box Set and a Super Deluxe (the latter including Deluxe perks plus an additional three vinyl LPs). The Deluxe not only features a remastered disc of the original 'Ya-Ya's' album (which Lester Bangs reviewed as "the best album they ever made. I have no doubt that it's the best rock concert ever put on record") but also includes previously unreleased material: five tracks from the original shows as well as 12 tracks from the shows' openers B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner. Other perks include a Collectors Edition book, Lester Bangs' original 1970 'Rolling Stone' review, a '69 tour poster and more. The Deluxe and Super Editions will be available Nov. 3 and Nov. 17 (respectively). Be sure to listen to songs from the release on AOL Radio's Satisfaction station, which plays nothing but Rolling Stones tunes, 24/7....full text
