Product Description
CD Description
November 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of the recording of the Rolling Stones concerts at Madison Square Garden that yielded the epochal Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, the band’s definitive live album. This 40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set comprises three audio CDs including a remastered disc of the original Ya-Ya’s repertoire as well as a disc of five previously unreleased Stones tracks recorded at the same Madison Square Garden shows. The third CD encompasses unreleased performances by the shows’ support acts: B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner, five songs from the former and seven songs from the latter. The box set also includes a 56 page Collectors Edition book featuring photos and an essay by Ethan Russell, the acclaimed photographer who accompanied the Stones on the '69 tour, as well as the original Rolling Stone Magazine review by Lester Bangs and a series of recollections from a cross-section of fans who attended the concerts and a replica of the original tour poster by David Byrd. Included as well is a bonus DVD by legendary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles, also entitled Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! The film includes full-length performances of the five previously unreleased Stones songs--"Prodigal Son", "You Gotta Move", "Under My Thumb", "I’m Free" and "(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction". Beyond the song performances – presented in 5.1 surround sound--the film includes a sequence with Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Jack the donkey during the cover shoot for the Ya-Ya’s album and backstage tête-à-têtes between Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Mick Taylor.

Format:Audio CD
November 27th/28th, 1969. The Rolling Stones take to the stage at New York's Madison Square Garden and blow the house down with a set that drew heavily from their most recent albums, BEGGARS BANQUET and LET IT BLEED. The tapes from the shows produced certainly one of the greatest live albums ever made and, with this release, it just got even better.
The sets by B.B. King and Ike and Tina Turner got the evenings' entertainment off to great start. To me, B.B. King sounds on great form, while hearing Tina Turner sing the likes of 'Son Of A Preacher Man' and The Beatles' 'Come Together' is a real treat indeed. As for the Stones themselves, well, 'Midnight Rambler' is awesome and arguably the highlight of the original album, perhaps followed closely by a really funky 'Sympathy For The Devil'. Of the outtakes contained on disc two, I particularly enjoyed Mick and Keith doing the acoustic 'Prodigal Son' justice with a really punchy performance.
The DVD is composed of unused footage from the movie GIMME SHELTER but this is far from disposable; the rendition of 'Prodigal Son' captured here is lovely as Keith finishes the song too early which prompts a reaction of surprise from Mick! It's a lovely moment as the two share a giggle in recognition of the mistake.
Finally, the hardback book contained in the box is a nice souvenir, containing personal recollections from, among others, the photographer Ethan Russell, a reproduction of the unused sleeve design for GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! and a typically florid contemporary review of the LP from that late, great music critic Lester Bangs.
All in all, this a lovely time capsule of The Rolling Stones at a performing peak and, if you start by playing the support sets by B.B King and Tina Turner on disc three first, it's the closest you'll ever get to accurately re-living two nights of great music at the end of the 1960s.

I did not used to be such a fan of live albums. I guess because when I grew up I could never afford to buy many LPs so those that I and my friends had were played over and over and so I got accustomed to the studio version as a fixed thing. Only after I broadened my collection and got more heavily into jazz and other more improvised music did I become happy with live albums.
I did like the Stone on film, Gimme Shelter and other live performances but there was something about live albums that took me some time to come around to and I find the recent DVD of Shine a Light much more satisfying than the CD soundtrack album.
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! is a true masterpiece, although I have often worried about the apostrophe.
I first bought my own copy of this album on the original so called remastered CD which is okay but the packaging is ugly with the horrible black strip at the foot with the red writing and the sound quality is okay, much better than the first post Decca Stones CDs.This new version sounds great and the bonus track by the Stones are a real treat.
It is also great to hear the B.B.King and Ike an Tina Turner songs which demonstrate the context of this period of the band's career well. The Stones would not have had a career without the inspiration and music of these artists and their peers.
The DVD footage is the icing on an already rich cake. If you have fond memories of the Stones from your youth or just want to see the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World at a time when that title was universally acknowledged then this is the package to get and you should get it while you can.

Sound quality is awesome espically the bonus material with an amazing version of Under My Thumb/I'm free - as usual we want more from the recorded two nights!
The BB King and Ike & Tina Turner disc offers a standard BB King set with great sound quality but what a true delight is the Ike and Tina set - just wonderful.
The DVD at around 30 minutes is an interesting if dispensible addition (you have to feel sorry for Jack the donkey stuck out on newly finished M5 in the cold and wet) but the whole box is nicely packaged, first rate sound quality, the stones billed as the greatest rock n' roll band in the world delivering a fine performance. And for once well done ABKCO!

Still one of the best live recording of any group - if not the best. This set now complements the original album

Forgotten how good the Stones are live.Terrific guitar work.

Get the MP3 version
Not a review of the music itself, which is brilliant, but a comparison between the MP3 version and the CD box set. The latter is expensive and with lavish packaging and a DVD. Read more

Really great re-mastered CD ... the original was good if you are a stones' fan (or not) but on this you can hear every instrument with clarity. A good buy.
