Get Your Ya-Ya's 40th anniversary

[doster]

This looks interesting, five unreleased songs and a look the other acts opening the tour. This was the first tour that bands took their own PA and lighting out and the Stones were on fire. Unfortunately ending with the Altamont debacle closing out the sixties on a downer.
I know a lot of fans aren't interested in BB King and Ike and Tina Turner, but Jagger's concept for the project was the produce a double album that included the opening acts nixed by the record company.
The DVD is most intriguing assuming it's not just Gimme Shelter and a few other outtakes that have already been seen.
This is one of the greatest live albums ever and is a great listen.

Well Alright!!!......

Charlie sounds good tonight doesn't he.....

[Telarkaster]

Excellent! One of my favourite live albums ever, up there with Live At Leeds by the Who. Favourite version of Sympathy for the Devil.

[craigh9]

I had a vinyl copy of the album & in "Midnight Rambler" towards the end when the band starts to come back in the record skipped & that lick kept on playing seamlessly. I agree, about "Symphony For The Devil". Paint It Black you devil.

Looks like a great box set. Hmmm: comes out November 3rd; maybe if I'm a good boy Santa will be nice to me this year! And he'll pop by a little early.

[mistermullens]

This is great news! I've been wanting to get this album and I'm glad I waited. I think Mick had a great idea of including the opening acts. That will be a nice touch. Really looking forward to this release. Thanks for posting!

[Del Pickup]

Certainly one of my favourite albums as well but I'm not sure that the dvd would be all that exciting to watch judging by the clip above - unless you're a devotee of Mr Jagger's struttin' and poutin'. Not too many shots of the rest of them.

I guess it was a long time before MTV - but even Top of the Pops looked better than that!!

Mick Taylor's slide on Love in Vain! Thanks for the post, I'm in.

[TeleDrifter]

Loved this the 1st time I heard it but I knew something wasn't right. Years later reading that there were overdubs & mixing parts of songs from different performances....Still love it................................................ .....Mick Taylor/Keith....Pefect together...

Mick Taylor's slide on anything! But yeah his slide on Love in Vain is AWESOME!

[RodeoTex]

Love In Vain, Sympathy For The Devil and Midnight Rambler were watershed moments in my youth. Back then I didn't understand why they would be doing Chuck Berry covers (and still don't). That one just didn't belong.

Those clips are outtakes from the DVD "Gimme Shelter"...

Little Queenie is my favorite song on the Ya-Ya's album...

[castpolymer]

I just picked it up on vinyl at 1/2 Price Books for $ 8.00. I was a very happy camper.

The five previously unreleased tracks are also published for Guitar Hereo V.
some smoking Mick Taylor riffs & solos on there.

Ah, the poor Guitar Hero kids, they don't know what they're getting.
read the comments on YouTube.

they're complaining on Prodigal Son:
- what, no bass track?

- so what do you do when your bass during this song as a full band just sit there & play nothing?

or on Under My Thumb:
- This version sucks bad.  The original is far superior
- Well, you can't always get what you want...

lol.

great stuff, btw.

[neocaster]

Guitar Hero will never replicate Keef smacking an overzealous fan with a guitar. But we can always hope.

I love this album.

[beach bob]

Hmmmmmm..... veddy eeeeenterestink.

Ya Yas was a seminal album for me and my bro growing up... fantastic stuff. I might just have to put that one on my Santy Claus list too ...

[FirstBassman]

Ya-Ya's is a great album. Would love to hear Ike & Tina and BB King also with it.


Small piece of trivia:

Ya-Ya's and this album (below) were both recorded on the exact same weekend in New York City ... just two miles apart from each other in November 1969.

PS: I was at one of those shows. Guess which one.

[Rasmuth]

Stray Cat Blues is one of the most scathing rock songs ever and the guitar interplay is fantastic...one of my favorites...recorded on a night when the Stones were the greatest rock-n-roll band in the world.

[Mike Eskimo]

Stray Cat Blues is one of the most scathing rock songs ever and the guitar interplay is fantastic...one of my favorites...recorded on a night when the Stones were the greatest rock-n-roll band in the world.

That song is precisely the one I mention when people ask me :

"Really ? You like the Stones better than The Beatles ?!"

Then I say "The moptops never wrote a song as nasty musically or lyrically as Stray Cat..."

The Beatles never came from as deep a blues well as the Stones did.

Beatles : "Martha My Dear"

Stones : "Gimme Shelter"

C'mon...


But they could reissue and remaster Brian-Freakin'-Jones this fall and it will still get overshadowed by The Beatles "remasters"*


*There's a sucker born every minute - especially if they're nostalgic, overly self-reverential boomers...

Ever notice that the girl is younger in the live version than she is in the studio version.

[garyd5158]

That bass line on little queenie is theeeeee best. What a groove.

Carol is great too. That album was the soundtrack of my wayward youth.

On a side note that track actually comes from the Baltimore show, right before Madison Square Garden. Great version!

[doster]

I love the way they played Satisfaction and Under My Thumb in 1969. That's not the greatest version of I'm Free from the era, I hope the one of the record might be better.
I'm too old to watch the Guitar Hero as the Stones play, but maybe that version of Satisfaction will finally get Mick Taylor some attention for his lyrical and melodic playing with the stones.

By the way Exile on Main Street will be re-released soon with out takes, should be interesting.

[doster]

During the middle of the show Mick and Keith would come out and do a couple acoustic numbers then play Love in Vain with the rest of the band. Seems like a weird set list when you listen to them now. You Got To Move would be released two years later on Sticky Fingers and I hope that's not how it sounds on the CD.
This release is not sanctioned by the Stones, it comes from ABKCO who owns the rights to the music up to about 1969.

I'll throw in some pics from the Michael Ochs archieve, so you don't have to watch the terrible Guit Hero clip ;)




I've printed one out and framed it - top notch.

I probably listened to Ya-yas every day throughout high school. Still put it on sometimes. Great disc. To me, it's the embodiment of what a working R'n'R garage band solidarity and spirit is all about. Too bad much of that changed.

Keith is playing a National Style O 14* fret SQUARENECK that was slightly rounded.

Hilarious how he just put up with it.

Those Nationals were a dime a dozen back then.

Very few people were working on them though - I mean competently working on them.

*14's are later, 12's earlier.

[tonewoods]

Glad to see "I'm Free" in that song list...

Man, Mick Taylor really ripped that one up on the Left Coast leg of that tour...

Peering hard - are you sure about the Squareneck?
