Editorial Review:
Introduced at the beginning of their second live album as "the greatest rock & roll band in the world," the Stones come off instead as perhaps the world's sloppiest. Recorded at Madison Square Garden on the first dates of the 1969 tour that would end at Altamont, Ya-Ya's shows our heroes struggling manfully to get comfortable with a stadium-size PA system. Of the nine songs included here, only "Love in Vain," "Stray Cat Blues," and "Live with Me" come close to matching the fire of their studio versions; much of the time the band just sounds ragged and distracted. Still, given that it's the only official live document from the period in which Mick Taylor was the Stones' lead guitarist, Ya-Ya's is a must-own for any die-hard Stones fan. --Dan Epstein
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! Reviews:
get your ya ya's out 
2008-11-16 - Fantastic live album - all the tracks show the Stones at their rocky/bluesy best. Total value for money.
Go No Further
2008-03-28 - I am astounded by those so called "experts" reviewing this masterpiece who claim to have some sort of preternatural insight into its recording. OK, maybe a vocal or two was/were overdubbed. Big deal. The inportant thing to remember is that THE GREATEST LIVE GUITAR SOLO(s) existant, the alchemy of Keef and Mick T on "Sympathy For The Devil" is just as it was heard by those at MSG. Somewhere down the list here, several "reviewers" comment that the Oakland boot, "Liver Than You'll Ever Be" is superior to "Ya Yas." It ain't (I OWN "Liver"), and mayber "liver" is the operative term there. You know how this album/CD stands up next to "Still Borne" or "Stripped," and I'm not going to make a pun about that last one typifying R Woods' ineptitude. This CD is all you'll ever really need, to know how the Stones once were...
When Rock & Roll was serious and I don't mean serious business!
2006-06-30 - I was fortunate enough to have seen The Stones on the 69 tour. Saw them @ The Inglewood Forum in LA. They were two hours late for the show but did they ever make up for it. Get Your Ya Ya's Out is a perfect history of the tour and of the era. The boys were definitely in great form and were playing like there was no tomorrow. The guitar solo in Sympathy For The Devil is one of the all time great solo's by anyone. Every time I get a new car, the first song I play is Sympathy from Get Your Ya Ya's out. I also have Liver Than You'll Ever Be and it is good. Especially Gimme Shelter (Waitin on you) and I'm Free. I only wish it was availabe on CD and cleaned up a little. The movie is great but not enough music. This is the album to have and to hold till death us do part.
It Could have been so Much More 
2006-06-10 - I didn't know when my friends and I agreed to get to get together and review some Rolling Stones records, that this review would be a comparison of the record that came out officially and the one that didn't, but how could it be any other way. Because of who Tiffany's father is, we were all exposed to "LiveR Than You'll Ever Be," before we'd heard any other record by the Greatest Group on Earth. Heck, I don't think her dad ever played "Ya-Ya's,' which sounds more like a studio record in places than a live record. If you've ever heard the terrific job Phil Spector did with George Harrison's Bangla Desh show, especially the Dylan stuff, you'll know what I mean. Now that's a live record. Mr. Spector miked the audience and worked that applause right into the material. My God, you can't hear that record without feeling like you're right there, as if you're sitting in the front row. Well, "LiveR Than You'll Ever Be" is like that. It's just plain and simple gut wrenching, power pumping, get up and dance your kester off rock and roll. There never has been a record like "LiveR." Ya-Ya's is a pale imitation. The boys in the band must have known that back then, how could they have put this out? It's good, the Stones are always good, but it could have been so much more, "LiveR" proves that.
Just Frightening How Good this Band is
2006-06-10 - Oh Lord, I would have loved to have been in Madison Square Garden when this record was recorded. To see the way the guitars of Keith Richards and Mick Taylor danced together, that really would have been something. However, I missed the tour, probably because I hadn't been born yet, but still I can dream, can't I? And that's just what I try to do when I put this record on. I sit back, close my eyes and let the blistering "Jumpin' Jack Flash" wash over me. I always intend to listen to it this way, straight through, but by the second chorus of the song, I'm up and jumping around, just like Jack Flash. Is this record inferior to the bootleg? No, I don't think so. "LiveR Than You'll Ever Be" was recorded at the beginning of the tour. The record is great, the band is great, but by the time they got to New York, they were really, really on. I enjoy listening to the difference. And that difference is really pronounced in Chuck Berry's "Carol." You can hear how raw they are in Oakland and how polished in New York. The records are different, to be sure, but one is not better than the other, they are both five star live records and both belong in any serious record collection. The Stones Live, nobody ever has been or is now as great as they were and are. Did you see them at the Super Bowl, just frightening how good this band is, even still.
