10 Reasons WHY The Rolling Stones Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is the Greatest Live Album of all TIME!

[@michaelb.9548]

One of my top 3 favourite live albums. The guitar solo duel on Devil is top notch! An incredible album. 🎉

[@ixoye56]

I agree, the best live album of all time, I got it on my fourteenth birthday from my Grandmother Dec 23 - 1970, and it change my life.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Changed mine too - I was raised on this music

[@nataliehayes8940]

One of the greatest concert!!! I was there!!!💕💕💕thanks!!!

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

The thing that they say in the beginning of this album is still true today Rolling Stones the greatest rock and roll band in the world

[@supsailor1885]

Should have been released as a Double Album!

[@justinblevins9719]

This record was inspirational to subsequent generations , And I think Defined what the Stones were all about. A Rock an Roll masterpiece . It stands alone as the pinnacle of a Golden age.

[@TheCovemangreg]

My first Album I bought when it came out. Still love it..Charlie was good that night wasn't he? The guitar weaving between Keef and Mick Taylor and the best pen-ultimate Sympathy for the Devil (despite one adamant fan wanting Paint it Black)!

[@jazzman859]

Mick Taylor is brilliant, the Stones in there prime with a incredible show

[@tomcabrera8223]

You can just feel the warmth and power of those tube driven amps. Can't believe Mick Taylor could do what he did at 20 years young. Chuck Berry tunes were a good choice and they rocked it.

[@teleguy5699]

Those Ampeg amps were made especially for the Stones and before that a lot of bands had to use the equipment available at the venue.

[@tecdeccollectmahekquaterfi4710]

No but for real it actually is by far the best live album I've ever heard in my life. The electricity of Keith and Mick Taylor on Sympathy is extraordinary, probably my favourite solo ever after Free Bird. Just the way Keith does his best soloing blues for the solo intro and then Taylor just picks it up and fucken sends it to the moon is amazing. Mick Taylor was the best thing that happened to the Stones.

[@JAMESGANG-f5u]

It gets my vote for best live album ever. Midnight Rambler and Sympathy for the Devil alone are 2 of the top live RnR recordings EVER. Zeppelin MSG ‘73 ABB live at Fillmore each get honorable mention in my opinion.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

I totally agree about Midnight & Sympathy - 2 best live tracks in rock history - Zep never managed to record a GREAT live album - BUT....How the West Was Won was a saving grace when released in 2003

[@sergiofibs489]

Masterpiece!!!

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

It is a phenomenal live album which I remember John Peel playing when it first came out & being absolutely blown away by it. Muttering things like “this really is an astonishing record” you knew it must be something extraordinary as Peely wasn’t generally given to hyperbole!

[@stevebird9510]

I totally agree 👍 Great album 👌🏼

[@arjaylee]

I saw them on this tour, so this album has always resonated with me. On Spotify, you can listen to the rest of the show, that didn't make the vinyl, Ike & Tina, and B.B.King, and other Stones Classics

[@gerrygreene6354]

My first Stones concert was on this tour. The second show at the Forum. Stones hit the stage around 3 AM. Remember Play It Loud.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

You saw the 2 and only US Stones tours with Mick Taylor - so count yourself blessed

[@peytonlucy5947]

In 1973/74 the first two albums that I ever bought were GYYYO and a Stones studio album. I didn't have any idea at the time that it wasn't going to get much better. The Rolling Stones 1973 Fall European tour is the ultimate peak.

[@michaelbourke6143]

Great commentary. Also a nod to Bill Wyman who, with Charlie, provided a superb rhythm section not only for this album but for the entire early Stones canon. Wyman’s playing is underrated. Just ask Keith how good Bill Wyman is.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

I fully agree - the Stones have never sounded like well...the stones since he left - no offence to Darryl Jones but there never was a replacement for Bill - and never will be

[@green323turbo]

Sympathy for the Devil is the best dual guitar song the stones ever did live.

[@johngorham]

It is the greatest of all time, and could never be so before Mick Taylor joined, nor could it be after he left

[@ClassicRockFilms]

DEF the greatest moments in rock history - 69 to 74 - was the golden era of analogue recording (Tape) - before MTV - before click tracks - Disco - Duran Duran - Madonna and all the shit that followed

[@michaelconnor4055]

At outdoor parties, I have played GYYYO through PA speakers and guests have said they feel like they are at the show! So well recorded and mixed.

[@littlecrow6484]

You are spot on in your well done summary of possibly the live album that I listened to more than any other. Great sounding album. I'd forgotten that the eminently gifted producer Glyn Johns was responsible for this masterpiece of albums. Thank you so much for posting this.

On my eleventh birthday ,it was 1970, i had my first party without parents, they were stayin in their bedroom then, and i became this live Stones album from my friends (boys and girls) and we danced all evening till midnight on it. Still have it and a newer printing because of beiing grey and all scratches in time.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Amazing - i started listening to this album at the same age and could sing all the songs while playing the drums at age 10 - 1970 - here is my cover of Love in Vain kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoa0eqqtgJWUq6s (aged 60) thanks for comment

[@StylusDrop]

Agreed! it's a great live album but The Who's Live at Leeds was released the same year - also a classic. Which one is your favourite?

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Thats a tough one - think they both equally good

[@MrThedonhead]

Get your ya yas out is more rock n roll. The who is about power and rock! I prefer the rock n roll

[@kenhill9176]

They're both the greatest two live albums of all time. I'm on about my 6th copy of each one, vinyl and cd. Oh yeah, had em both on 8 track too.

[@iheartcicada]

imo get yer ya yas out is better musically and the overall sound of the album

[@jasonhochman3750]

This is a tough call. Both bands were at a peak, perhaps the two best live bands in the world. As far as what I DON"T like about each album: Ya Ya's has some studio overdubs. Some of the patter from Mick Jagger doesn't hold up so well today; "You don't want my trouser to fall down do ya?" Live at Leeds has a great side one, but then a long version of "Magic Bus" is a little less enthralling, and the medley/extended "My Generation" has some good moments, but I prefer the original version of "My Generation." But still two of the greatest live albums. Other favorite live albums are Wes Montgomery "Smoking at the Half Note" and B B King "Live at the Regal," and Ramones "It's Alive."

[@fast4wood]

In my top 10 for sure. Great commentary.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Thanks

[@johnroberts5285]

It’s certainly a great Stones album. A real rock n roll band it their prime....... captured for all time.

[@terminatorx2545]

Another factor was Jimi Hendrix was backstage with them during that recording. They were probably playing at their peak in order to impress him. He was a fan of theirs!

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Janis Joplin also there but too wasted to care what they sounded like

[@waynecameron3343]

That also knew it was going to be a album

[@MrThedonhead]

I doubt very much The Rolling Stones would have felt anyway bout Jim Bob being there 😂 he would be considered nothing but a novelty joke act to these connoisseurs of rock n roll as Jim had no ‘roll’ and wouldn’t know how to swing if you gave him something to rhyme with bing. They probably used his hair as an ashtray. The Rolling Stones were friends with The Beatles for Petes sake so intimidated by Jim I doubt.

[@greatdaneacdc]

[@skipthompson2290]

I WAS a Beatles fan. But, as soon as I heard Get YER YA YA'S OUT. I was like . SHIT !!!!! Now this is the real deal !!! That's when I became a full time ( to this day) HUGE Rolling Stones fan. It's like they say. The Beatles wanted to hold your hand. The Rolling Stones wanted to Spend The Night Together. BIG DIFFERENCE !!!!

[@ClassicRockFilms]

YEAH - This was a bug turning point for the Stones

[@billowens8051]

I followed the same path exactly Skip. I was 20 in '70 when I first really HEARD the Stones. Had been a casual fan before that, but this album and the Gimme Shelter movie made me realize this was true rock n roll at its very best. To paraphrase you, I've said since then 'that the Beatles wanted to hold your hand, but the Stones wanted to buzz around your hive". Big difference. I still listen to them almost daily and continue to hear little nuggets or details I'd never picked up before. The Stones rarely disappoint. And this is a true classic live album, surpassed only by possibly the Allman Bros Live at the Fillmore East.

[@hydroy1]

For me it was Get your kicks on route 66 off there first album on Decca ! Pop ( the Beatels) went out the window after that. When the Stones came out with Hot Rocks album ----- forget about it !!!! The Stones have always been number one with me followed by Zeppelin then the original fab 4 Status Quo, but I am a hard core head banger and never going to change.

[@Alpha_7227]

I think that was the pivotal difference between The Stones and The Beatles. The Stones were always a live band, Mick the consumate showman. The frontman. The banter in between songs. They of course have fabulous material, but live. They always give 2000 percent.

[@johnrupert4535]

No mention that this was released in response to a bootleg live album called "Live'r Than You'll Ever Be" or something close to that. The bootleg was incredible in how well it was recorded leading to speculation that somebody had tapped into the PA to get the feed. So after the critical acclaim for the bootleg, "Get Your Yas Yas Out" was offered up.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

Yeah for sure - one of the reasons why they released the album in Dec 70 - a year after recording was to counter the bootleg

[@djlarspeterson7099]

Great bootleg also

[@jellobiafra2810]

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *Well done!* I agree 100% There was so many excellent live albums back then, not even counting the great bootlegs. My faves from then: James Brown: 'Live at the Apollo'. 'Live Cream-Volume II'. 'Hendrix In The West'. The Who: 'Live At Leeds'. MC5: 'Kick Out The Jams'. Bob Marley and the Wailers: 'Live' 'Woodstock' Humble Pie: 'Rockin' The Fillmore'. (Keef has 'name-dropped' Steve Marriott several times over the years.) But, 'Ya-Yas' wins the prize! - Dave B.

[@ClassicRockFilms]

What an era - Humble Pie were at their peak at The Fillmore (With Peter Frampton) - I listened to Woodstock a few days ago - I have the 6 CD set - so different listening to Woodstock than watching the DVD - I also love The Who Live at Leeds (Pete Townshend such an underrated guitar player) Detroit was the rock and roll city of the 70s right?

[@josepedro8968]

I agree with everything..!!! Mick Taylor make all the difference and between this one and Goats Head Soup they were young, experienced and with very high creativity.. Happened with lot of bands.. Got lucky to buy it in late 70's was not first sales that time.. The album was not to be released, they were doubt about it and DECCA... Should be a double one..!!!!! By what I read in interviews, it was a risk to put the album on sale.. I think that's was the click to get out and create their own record company and tongue label with Sticky Fingers, and the taxes.. Love You Live songs it's only half or less of the full concert..

I feel that the Stones were mostly playing songs from their last albums (Except for Little Queenie & Carol - Chuck Berry) - so entire set list was from their last album Beggars Banquet 68 - Stay Cat - Sympathy - Street Fighting - Then let It Bleed had not even been released as an album yet - so for the rest - Love in Vain - Midnight Rambler - Live with me - were songs on the set list that were current - if they had included Satisfaction - Under my Thumb they this album would have lost its edge as a nostalgia band
