Free Music Notes for Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!Free Music Review: The GREATEST Rock n Roll Band in the World Proves Its Title Hit: 5 Stars
With this album The Rolling Stones demonstrate that there was never--and 40 years out--that there will be never another rock n roll band to match their intensity and primal force. The manic aggressive, thundering throb of their rhythm, propelled by Keith and new guitarist Mick Taylor, are shown on songs like Midnight Rambler and Sympathy for the Devil, and for those critics who view Keith as just a rhythm guitarist, listen to the 2nd solo of Sympathy: that's Keith blasting some well-chosen, simple notes into eternity.
This album is rock n roll perfected. From the melancholy Stray Cat Blues
to the sociological and revolutionary portrait, Street Fighting Man, it's all here, and Bob Dylan's supposed remark to Jagger "I could have written Satisfaction but you couldn't have written 4th Street" is refuted by lyrics such as those of Sympathy (inspired by Baudelaire's Flowers of Evil) and Stray Cat: when would Dylan ever write about sex involving a 13 year old groupie and her warrioress psyche, and detonate the neurotic puffery of our puritan era? Jagger is as profound as he wants to be, and as gleeful, as in the pure joy of Honky Tonk Women, performed for the 1st time on the 1969 tour. There's a philosophy of The Dance--just ask Bacchus--and Jagger HAS IT.
While there were some very minor over-dubs, mainly for continuity as when fans jumped on stage or mics and amps failed, these performances from the 1969 American tour in NYC--of course in NYC--are simply unsurpassable and define rock n roll itself. Bootlegs from the same tour show the Stones often hit these levels of intensity, and that these performances were not as Rolling Stone magazine sneered, just a lucky night---actually THREE "lucky nights." The Stones have talent, not luck, and even the earlier shows from the tour like Oakland on "LIVEr Than You'll Ever Be" (bootleg) which Jagger thought weak are not. They're epic.
In fact, the audience recordings like "Devil's Diciples" show that the over-dubs were mostly moot, done only when a vocal was missed when Mick was too busy getting tackled by a fan leaping upon him or other assorted chaos; as well this same bootleg shows the Stones don't always known even their own material: "Love In Vain" is NOT frm NYC, it is from the 26th in Baltimore as the "Devil's" boot proves.
The only dispute I or anyone could have with this album is that it was not a triple LP. Perhaps record executive KLEIN will instead of acting like a panting-blob, act like a curator and issue more of the hours of recordings taken from these and other 1969 concerts. Boys, the 2009 40th anniversary for this lengendary album is coming up, so why don't you for once do something noble for THE FANS--oh, I forgot, you don't care about anything but Brittany Spears, or is it The Strokes and all those timeless talents destined for the Whatever Happened To ? section of the National Enquirer.
THESE SHOWS SHOULD BE ISSUED IN THEIR ENTIRETY, EVERY ONE, IN A BOX SET, AND THEN WE CAN ALL LUXURIATE IN EUPHORIA. But the greed-sick Kleins owning the rights to these epic shows have to perfect their money-drool, have to cheat the fans, have to let the tapes rot. Pigs.
Were anyone trying to communicate to anthropologist in 200 years what Rock n Roll was about and how it exploded in the 1960s into one of the most expressive art-forms ever invented, this would be the album presented.
(UPDATE: well, apparently a little more is being spooned out to us fans, NOT ENOUGH.
MESSAGE TO MICK: Ohhh Mick, how about deploying some of that 500 million dollars of yours and re-claiming your musical legacy and manhood from those thug-philistine Kleins? Just sue them into oblivian, sue and sue until they surrender, or, more peacefully, offer to RELEASE EVER SINGLE PRO-RECORDED LIVE SHOW, REHEARSAL, STUDIO STUFF, VIDEO AND FILM they have from 1968-74. Just do it. No more excuses.) Sell it on Amazon if the labels whine about the "distribution." Ammy will gladly sell it on an exclusive, won't you AMMY?!
"You don't want my trousers to fall down now do ya?"
Awwwwwww Mick.
Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! Poster Returning to the American concert scene after a three-year layoff, the Rolling Stones recorded GET YER YA-YA'S OUT! during a triumphant two-date stand at Madison Square Garden in late November 1969 that found B.B. King and Ike & Tina Turner opening for them. Having amassed an impressive recorded output during their three years away from touring, the Stones peppered their sets with hits, including "Honky Tonk Women," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fighting Man." Tipping their collective hats to Chuck Berry, the band also included covers of "Carol" and "Little Queenie" alongside more blues-influenced numbers such as "Stray Cat Blues" and "Love In Vain."
Having been a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, new guitarist Mick Taylor parlayed his experience into some impressive slide guitar work. The pièce-de-resistance of what is arguably the best live Rolling Stones recording is the eight-minute-plus reading of "Midnight Rambler." Between Mick Jagger's unearthly harmonica playing and the tight interplay between Taylor and Keith Richards, the sinister vibe emanating from this song was eerie, foreshadowing the tragedy that would occur at Altamont less than two weeks later. Observant fans will catch the cover's subtle visual reference to a certain lyric from Bob Dylan's "Visions of Johanna" from BLONDE ON BLONDE. Rolling Stones Photos
