5.0 out of 5 stars Stones Rock The Garden Circa 1969, March 3, 2000

"Does everything seem to be ready is everybody ready, ladies and gentlemen the greatest rock and roll band in the world, the Rolling Stones". And with that introduction, the Stones were about to unleash a live performance that could be hailed as one of the best live recordings ever made. This album was made when the Stones were arguably the greatest rock and roll band in the world and this album proves it. After the introduction, the Stones break into a scorching version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash", pay tribute to Chuck Berry with 2 fine versions of "Carol" and "Little Queenie", giving a nod to their past while strutting their new material with a vengeance. The guitar solo in "Sympathy For The Devil" is simply flawless and as Mick tells the crowd prior to "Honky Tonk Women", "Charlie's good tonight isn't he." Well they were all good that night as this record shows. The Stones were in the midst of a phenomenal creative period in their careers, just prior to the release of this record the Stones had released two albums that were to become classic performances (Beggar's Banquet and Let It Bleed). This album shows the Stones in the midst of that creative juggernaut and in fine form. (Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main Street were the next albums to be released). This album deserves five stars because it shows the Stones at the height of their performing power as well as just about reaching their creative peak. If this one is not in your collection, then get yer wallets out. This is not only the best Stones live album by far, but one of the best live recordings ever made by a rock and roll band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stones On Stage in '69, October 6, 2000

The Rolling Stones tour of America in 1969 has become one of the most infamous and legendary of all time. It of course concluded with the Altamont concert and was documented in the film Gimme Shelter. Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out provides us with a live document of the tour from a Madison Square Garden show. What makes this such a great live record is that is does what so few live albums do, it makes us we feel as if we're actually at the show. From the opening introduction of the "Greatest Band Of All Time" to the closing chords of the militant "Street Fighting Man", we get the vibe of what it must have been like to have been there. While the performances, from a technical point of view, may not be the best of their career, that's beside the point. The Stones have always been more about emotion than anything else and the performances of "Sympathy For The Devil", "Midnight Rambler", "Love In Vain" & "Stray Cat Blues" perfectly capture and convey all their raw emotion and intensity. The Stones have made it a practice to release a live album after all their tours, but none are even close to this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best rock'n roll records, July 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! (Audio CD)

This is no 'true' live record, because there have been some studio overdubbings, I think of the solo guitars. Its from the 1969-tour and initially was planned as a double album featuring also Ike&Tina Turner. Then this project was reduced to a pure R.S.-record becoming definitely one of the best Stones albums. There are among others fascinating takes of Midnight rambler (In the slower middle section You can here the excited audience scream with joy), Sympathy for the devil (Thrilling intro, Keith Richards' solo and therafter Mick Taylor's - very different styles), Jumping Jack Flash (A great opener), Stray Cat Blues (Fascinating solo-guitar parts), Love in vain (Moving acoustic style). To compare this album to a real live record of that tour you have to stick to a bootleg, f.ex. 'Liver than You'll ever Be'), and almost any concert of this great America-tour is available bootlegged. This record symbolifies heavily the Stones' occupation of that period with apocalypse! (listen to 'Gimme Shelter and 'Sympathy for the devil') and thus creates very strong emotions. The lyrics of the former song were inspired by M. Bulgakows novel 'The master and Margarita'. In comparison to the Hyde Park-Concert at London Mick Taylor, who replaced drowned 'problem-child' Brian Jones in 1968, here is fully integrated into the band and contributes greatly to this masterpiece. The guitar sound also reveals Keith Richards faible for the typical 'open tuning' guitar style which is so characteristic for the Stones since their Beggars Banquet-period and lasts until today. BUY THIS RECORD !!! Again: Thank You Stones!!!
