On Sept.4, 1970, The Rolling Stones released their LP Get Yer Ya-Yas Out! It was a live album that was recorded in New York and Maryland in November 1969, just before the release of Let It Bleed. It is the first live album to reach number 1 in the UK. The Stones had not toured since April 1967, and the band was eager to hit the road by 1969. The tour was the first for Mick Taylor with the Stones, having replaced Brian Jones shortly before Jones death in July. It was the first album where he appeared fully and prominently, having only featured on two songs on Let It Bleed. The performances captured for this release were recorded on 27–28 November 1969 at New York Citys Madison Square Garden, while Love in Vain was recorded in Baltimore, Maryland on 26 November 1969. The actual cover photo however was taken in early February 1970 in London. The photo, featuring Watts with guitars and bass drums hanging from the neck of a donkey, was inspired by the lyrics to Bob Dylans Visions of Johanna (although these lyrics refer to a mule). In the Rolling Stone review of the album, critic Lester Bangs said, I have no doubt that its the best rock concert ever put on record.
