    A great record

    By Clint  Mar 2, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out [Remastered] review helpful

    This is a great cd in which many of the live versions are as good or better than the original versions. Also, Keith Richards shows how well he can play lead guitar when he wants to step forward-- as he does on many of the cuts on this album (listen ...to his solo on Sympathy for the Devil). Mick Taylor's playing comes out the opposite speaker so it is interesting to contrast what each guitarist brings to the various songs. The two of them play very well together and Jagger sings with much energy and feeling. Read more Less

    Still Worth Getting Your Ya-Yas Out...

    By Scott  Oct 25, 2003

    Pros: Peak Stones. What more do you need?

    Cons: They would never make a live album this good again.

    It seems odd to imagine now, but in late 1969 the Rolling Stones were a band with their backs to the wall. The screaming din of the British Invasion had died down, and with Swinging London no longer the center of the youth universe, The Stones watch...ed the winds of good fortune change. They were broke. And earlier that summer, founding member Brian Jones drowned in his swimming pool.But they were responding to the atmosphere with some of the most vibrant – and relevant – music of their career. The smash hit single “Jumping Jack Flash” came first, followed by the album “Beggars Banquet”. After three years of expensive and unsuccessful attempts to imitate the Beatles “Sgt. Pepper” the band returned to their gritty r and b roots and to the top of the charts. Now, in mid-1969, The Stones were minting another great album (“Let It Bleed”) and with new member Mick Taylor, anxious to take their new music on the road to American audiences.The Rolling Stones Mach 2 hit the road with gusto in the autumn of ‘69, and by the time they arrived in New York City around Thanksgiving, the change agreed with them. Audiences too had changed. While still enthusiastic, they were also listening. And with the invention of stage monitors so were The Rolling Stones, surprised – and impressed – with their considerable power. Little wonder tapes were rolling at Madison Square Garden, then.“Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out” is the live album that cemented MC Sam Cutler’s claim that The Stones were “the greatest rock and roll band in the world”. By the November shows at the Garden, Mick Taylor had been successfully forged into the lineup, and the Stones ripped through a set list that was anything but nostalgic. Of the songs featured on “Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out” only the Chuck Berry covers “Oh Carol” and “Little Queenie” predated 1967. Yet the concert setting brought out the raw power and danger in the Stones new music, and there was no place for pop hits. This was the blues, people.Live, The Rolling Stones transformed numbers like “Midnight Rambler” and “Sympathy For The Devil” into electric passion plays. In the case of “Rambler” the tame studio version is rendered obsolete with the razor sharp interplay between Keith Richards and Mick Taylor. “Sympathy” became something else altogether, as the band threw aside the studio creation for something different, yet even more primal. The live version, which would be a concert staple for years to come, shows the influence of San Francisco jam bands with the Stones now unafraid to stretch out their own considerable chops as a unit.Not that “Ya-Ya’s” is entirely a dark ride. There is a great joy in listening to The Rolling Stones once again find the roll in their rock. The clever production is certainly missing – most notably on a bare bones “Honky Tonk Women” – but the individual playing has attitude to spare, with their influences all out in the open. There would be other live albums, but those are merely a good band running through a great catalogue(at best). In 1969, this was the sound of the Rolling Stones grabbing the brass ring and finally living up to their arrogance - and their promise. Well alright! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out [Remastered]

  • All Music Guide

    Recorded during their American tour in late 1969, and centered around live versions of material from the Beggars BanquetLet It Bleed era. Often acclaimed as one of the top live rock albums of all time, its appeal has dimmed a little today. The live versions are reasonably different from the studio ones, but ultimately not as good, a notable exception being the long workout of "Midnight Rambler," with extended harmonica solos and the unforgettable section where the pace slows to a bumpandgrind crawl. Some Stones aficionados, in fact, prefer a bootleg from the same tour (Liver Than You'll Ever Be, to which this album was unleashed in response), or their amazing theshowmustgoon performance in the jaws of hell at Altamont (preserved in the Gimme Shelter...film). Fans that are unconcerned with picky comparisons such as these will still find Ya Ya's...an outstanding album, and it's certainly the Stones' best official live recording. The Rolling Stones' London/ABKCO catalog was reissued in Au...gust of 2002, packaged in digipaks with restored album artwork, remastered and released as hybrid discs that contain both CD and Super Audio CD layers. The remastering performed with Direct Stream Digital (DSD) encoding is a drastic improvement, leaping out of the speaker, yet still sounding like the original albums. This is noticeable on the standard CD layer, but is considerably more pronounced on the SACD layer, which is shockingly realistic in its detail and presence, yet is still faithful to the original mixes. Even if you've never considered yourself an audiophile, have never heard the differences between standard and goldplated CDs, you will hear the difference with SACD, even on a cheap stereo system without a highend amplifier or speakers. And you won't just hear the difference, you'll be an instant convert and wish, hope and pray that other artists whose catalog hasn't been reissued since the early days of CD Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, especially the Beatles are given the same treatment in the very near future. SACD and DSD are that good.] Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

The Rolling Stones

By the time the Rolling Stones began calling themselves the World's Greatest Rock Roll Band in the late '60s, they had already staked out an impressive claim on the title. As the selfconsciously dangerous alternative to the bouncy Merseybeat of the Beatles in the British Invasion, the Stones had pioneered the gritty, harddriving bluesbased rock roll that came to defin... Read more
