  • Summary: The rerelease of the two-night concert at Madison Square Garden in 1969 features five unreleased tracks and tracks from the opening acts: BB King and Ike & Tina Turner.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 10 out of 12
  2. Negative: 0 out of 12
  1. This three-disc remastered Ya-Ya's includes the original in all its gritty glory. Disc Two is a five-song EP from the same shows, with acoustic performances--"Prodigal Son" and "You Gotta Move"--from Richards (playing a resonator guitar) and Jagger. The third disc is an unexpected treat: blistering sets by openers B.B. King plus Ike and Tina Turner (doing an outrageously steamy take on Otis Redding's "I've Been Loving You Too Long").
  2. The sound is sterling, Richards’ guitar soaring effortlessly over the nimble rhythm section work by bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts.
  3. 80
    To get the measure of Jagger's contribution you have to turn to the five new songs on disc two, which are also the meat of the DVD offering.
  4. What Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! sounds most like is the 60s waning before your very ears. There are flashes of greatness, but the white-knuckle innovation of 1965-67 has audibly gone, replaced by complacent jamming.

    What's bad in this album?

    Maybe one of the best live albums EVER (not only from the Stones but from any Rock band) plus B.B. King and Ike &
    Tina Turner.
