Source-derived summary

Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!: The Rolling Stones in Concert is the second live album by the Rolling Stones, released on 4 September 1970 on Decca Records in the UK and on London Records in the United States. It was recorded in New York City and Baltimore in November 1969 prior to the release of Let It Bleed. It is the first live album to reach number 1 in the UK. It was reported to have been issued in response to the well-known bootleg Live'r Than You'll Ever Be. This was also the band's final release under the Decca record label. Subsequent releases were made under the band's own label Rolling Stones Records.

History

The Rolling Stones 1969 American Tour's trek during November into December, with Terry Reid, B.B. King (replaced on some dates by Chuck Berry) and Ike and Tina Turner as supporting acts, played to venues with all tickets sold out. The tour was the first for guitarist Mick Taylor with the Stones, having replaced Brian Jones shortly before Jones's death in July; this was also the first album where Taylor appeared fully and prominently, having only played on two songs on Let It Bleed. The performances captured for this release were recorded on 27 November 1969 (one show) and 28 November 1969 (two shows) at New York City's Madison Square Garden, except for "Love in Vain," recorded in Baltimore on 26 November 1969. Overdub sessions took place in January 1970 in London's Olympic Studios. The finished product featured overdubbed lead vocals on all tracks except "Love In Vain", "Midnight Rambler" and "Sympathy for the Devil", added back-up vocals on three tracks, and overdubbed guitar on "Little Queenie", where Mick Taylor's rhythm guitar was replaced by Keith Richards.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!” as 1970 live album by The Rolling Stones. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive route into publication, performance and collection histories when the underlying object or edition remains clearly identified. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1970, 1969—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1970-09-04. The account is most persuasive where Ya-Ya's, live and album can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 1970 live album by The Rolling Stones. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q839836. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1970 and 1969.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
