Rolling Stones - 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!' (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!' is considered to be one of the best Rock live albums.  Truth is, it's more or less three quarters of a live album when we take into account all the overdubs.  It's not unlike Cher's next birthday; when only parts of Cher will turn 79, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).  That said, I love this album, and have literally played thousands of times since its release in 1970.

"Paint it black….paint in black, you devil!"

'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition', from 2009 is a 3CD set plus a DVD (the freeload will be just the CDs), and a very nice 58 page book (included in the freeload). 

So what's so special about the 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, you ask?
Well, CD1 is the original album, which sonically, has never sounded better.

CD2 is unreleased Rolling Stones tracks, that have been bootlegged ad nauseam, but once again, sonically have never sounded better.
1. Prodigal Son
(with Keef's out of tune guitar. Why they didn't overdub the guitar on this is a mystery.   Oh wait, I know, Keef didn't have the "chops" in 2009, he had in 1970.)
2. You Gotta Move
3.Under My Thumb
4. I’m Free
5. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

Then there's CD3, which is where some real magic happens, where B.B. King, and Ike and Tina Turner strut their (non overdubbed) stuff.

B.B. King’s performance showcases his unparalleled rocking power, never compromising his status as “The King of the Blues.” The show begins with a high-energy, fast-paced rendition of “Every Day I Have the Blues,” followed by a more traditional performance of “How Blue Can You Get.” The guitar solos in this rendition are particularly impressive, paying homage to his beloved instrument, Lucille.

King’s set continues with “That’s Wrong Little Mama,” a smooth and groovy shuffle, a soulful rendition of “Why I Sing the Blues,” and concludes with a heartfelt and authentic blues piece, “Please Accept My Love.” His address to the crowd is sure to convert even the youngest and most uninitiated rock n rollers into hardcore blues enthusiasts.

Not to be outdone, Ike and Tina Turner take the stage for a short but electrifying set of cover tunes from the late 1960s.  As suburban white audiences began to recognize the true essence of R&B, following the legendary Stax Records performers like Otis Redding, who were revered by the Stones themselves. Sly and the Family Stone and Ike and Tina had carved out their own dedicated fan base.

In a matter of moments, they rock out with high energy and funky showcases of "Sweet Soul Music", "Son of a Preacher Man", "Proud Mary", "I’ve Been Loving You Too Long",  "Come Together" and “Land of 1000 Dances.” Tina’s undeniable ability to captivate the crowd and dominate the stage is evident throughout these performances.

As a point of reference, "Come Together" was still a hit on the pop charts when the Beatles’ Abbey Road was released in late September, just a few weeks before this legendary New York concert series.  Given that B.B. King and Ike and Tina served as opening acts for the Stones, they set an exceptionally high bar that the Stones had to surpass with their own performances. As they warmed up their audiences with two of the most seasoned and accomplished live acts in the entertainment industry, the Stones had to (and did) deliver a show that would leave a lasting impression.
