"Hello - (sniffle, sniffle) - I'm Brent, and I'm addicted to The Stones..." Submitted on: 2009-11-20
"TRUTH IN PACKAGING" time first: OK, truth be told - the nay-sayers were (for the most part) correct. Less than a half hour's worth of footage from the remnants of "Gimme Shelter," and 15 additional songs - OH, and a "book," and something that looks like a postcard with a naked lady and the the words "The Rolling Stones" atop her head - don't really justify paying $45 for this.
THAT said: Listening to "Ya Yas" now, repackaged, refurbished, "rechanneled," whatever, is akin to going to see "Gone With The Wind" with a pair of sunglasses on - and taking them off just as you hear the words "Quittin' time!" I play my CDs thru the same setup as my DVD, 5:1, whatever-it's called, and it's no longer merely "my favorite CD," it's now more like being there in the middle of the front 2 rows at Madison Sq Garden and pushing and shoving with all the hippies who obviously didn't "just say no." The sound is PHENOMINAL! And re the "unreleased tracks," "Prodigal Son" WAS already available on the Criterion "Gimme Shelter," and I already had "Under My Thumb" and "Sastifaction" on the "Ya Yas" bootleg I'd purchased..."overseas." But, again, the sound has been "re-whatever-ed," plus the song are the Madison Sq concert versions, not "boot-bootlegged" off the "Gimme Shelter" soundtrack, as was the CD I owned courtesy of my Russian friends.
OK...the "other things": well, the "mini-poster" of the tour is. at best, a post card, and I think I have already read (and RE-read) everything that was in the little book, "last century," to be exact.
BUT: CD #3, the BB King & Ike 'n Tina sets: WOW!!!!!!!!! I (almost) recant my statement, agreeing with the "it's overpriced" whiners. BB King is - STILL - a Gentleman, but to hear him in 1969 when he was still young & virile - a "veil will be lifted" from many a young person who was only familiar with "The Thrill Is Gone." And Ike and Tina....there are no adjectives to describe their performance without sounding like Cameron Crowe with a thesaurus. My only disappointment is that the version included here of Otis' "I've Been Loving You Too Long" is NOT the version from "Gimme Shelter" that is almost porno-lite. Regardless: Tina's performance here - as in, probably, EVERYTHING she has ever done - was, most definitely, the inspiration for Mick's last line in "Start Me Up," where he sings of the (ahem) "recuperative powers" of the "Chanteuse-in-question," you know, "You make a dead man..."
Oh.............and the "gift box," in which the whole conglomeration is sort of "encased," will make an EXCELLENT container for my Minister's Christmas present, too! (It's cool, he was my friend, "another bass player," before he became my minister...Thankx, Doug....)

Several other reviewers have already given accuate reviews of the numerous shortcomings of this pathetic effort to squeeze your dollars from your wallet. The only worthwhile disc and reason for 2 stars, instead of the well deserved single, were the blues covers from BB King and Tina/Ike. Save your money!
"Paint It Black You Devils!" Submitted on: 2009-11-19
Back in February 2001, the very first review I ever wrote for Amazon was a five star review of the Rolling Stones' album, "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" Why? Thats an easy answer. It's my all time favorite live album. I love the rough, grungy, almost punkish feel to it. It just seems to be permeated throughout, with a crackling energy, thats' just so alive. "Ya-Yas" to me is what the Rolling Stones and Rock n' Roll for that matter, should be all about. As rock critic, Dave Marsh has been quoted as saying,"it just might have been recorded on a night, that the Rolling Stones, really were the world's greatest Rock n' Roll band".
So with that in mind, I was quite excited to find out that "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" was being re-released in a "40th Anniversary Deluxe Box" Set". There is so little from this time period of the Rolling Stones' history, that is officially released. Have they given us more Rock n'Roll nectar? Could this finally be our Stones 'Holy Grail'? Well not exactly...
This is a box set with both good and bad points. The good points are that the new stuff, that is included is really fantastic! If you are a collecter of Classic Rock you will absolutely eat this stuff up! The bad news is that this fantastic new stuff has been unecessarily spread out across four discs to somehow justify an outrageous list price. This is done to the detriment of the set's content.
Here is the layout. Disc 1 is the original remastered, classic "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out" on CD. If your spending your hard earned sheckels on this box, then I can pretty easily guess, ya got it already (am I wrong?). Disc 2 is 5 unreleased tracks. Wonderful, amazing stuff! I love it! Like mannah from heaven! But its only 5 tracks folks! I don't want to sound ungrateful, but those 5 tracks could have easily been put on the first disc in the proper set list order! I guess this is why 'playlists' were invented for iTunes (sigh...). Disc 3 are the opening acts of B.B.King plus Ike and Tina Turner. I have no problem with this. They perform good, short, energetic sets, that give you a sense of the flavor of the evening. You can feel the anticipation of the audience as they await their beloved Stones.
Disc 4 is the DVD. This is really where the good stuff is. The meat and potatos. The stuff to make your buddy, who wouldn't splurge on this box, jealous. I really wasn't expecting much, when I popped the disc into the DVD player. But by the end of the all too short 28 minutes of footage, my jaw was on the floor. This is film shot by the Maysles Brothers. The same folks that brought us "Gimme Shelter". But unlike "Gimme Shelter" the Stones are at their Rock n' Roll peak. They are in total command of the audience and you can feel the energy. You really get a sense of what an event this was and how MSG must have seemed like the center of the universe. If that wasn't good enough, then even better is the back stage footage, which shows the boys at rest and play (including shots of Janis Joplin plus footage of Jimi Hendrix hanging out, playing guitar). The cherry on the sundae though is footage of the Stones and their entourage meeting up at a helioport with the Grateful Dead (who are in all their psychedelic, hippie-cowboy, glory). It looks like they are heading off to the disaster known as 'Altamont'. This is the stuff that makes this box set worth owning. Unfortunately it leaves you wanting more...much more.
Physically, this box set is very nice. My hat is off to the graphic designer. It includes an interesting, well written, small hardback book, which fits nicely together with the discs. The audio content is wonderful, but has not been arranged well to the detriment of both the set and the fans. Even though this box set is unnecessarily expensive, it is still worth buying. Trust me, if you are a serious Stones fan, you will love it!
The Stones Live 69, The Beatles..... Submitted on: 2009-11-17
Up to this point the Rolling Stones releases have been fair to the fans. The Beatles recent mono remasters and U.S. compact discs can only be purchased in a box set. The "Ya-Ya's" expanded version brings a closure to the 1969 tour. The quality tracks from the bonus CD would fit nicely between sides A and B of the original album. "Satisfaction" is just that! One of the five best live rock albums just got better. B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner are token opening sets. B.B. only slips briefly playing "Why I Sing The Blues" too fast for the Stones audience. Tina Turner is energized, soulful and Black -"I've Been Loving You Too Long". Neither act challenges "Cook County Jail" and "What You Hear Is What You Get". The short 26 minute DVD brings a positive light to the 1969 tour that was lost at Altamont and "Gimme Shelter" movie. Cameo appearances though not performing by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead bring us back to special era. The pricey box set has its worth depending on a listener point of view toward the original "Ya-Ya's", but I wouldn't upgrade to the album box. This is the youthful Rolling Stones at their live peak.
The Antidote to "Beatles: Rock Band" Submitted on: 2009-11-16
If "Beatles: Rock Band," with its smiling automaton Fabs singing well-scrubbed pop slightly turned your stomach, here comes the return of one of music's finest hours of balls-out Rock: The Stones live "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out" album from '70 (covering their '69 winter American tour). The raw, looming guitars of Richards and Taylor spark through warhorses like "Sympathy for The Devil" and "Streetfighting Man," Jagger struts along like a demented Jack Flash, while extras include the backporch blues covers of "Prodigal Son" and "You Gotta Move" and a menacingly oscillating "Under My Thumb."
But the real treats are the first time release of the sets of the opening acts of that tour, B.B. King and the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. King and "Lucille" duel hustling Stax-style horn sections, while Tina is simply ON FIRE, blasting a fragment of "Sweet Soul Music," Wilson Pickett's "Land of A Thousand Dances," outsmoldering Roberta Flack on the latter's "Son Of A Preacher Man" and right up there with Otis on "I've Been Loving You Too Long."
I haven't even watched the accompanying DVD. It's probably clips floating around Youtube anyway; who cares. The music is the meat here, and as a portrait of the best white and black music acts circa 1969, it makes a fine meal.
