So much of Ya Ya's was overdubbed. All my childhood I believed this was how good the Stones actually were. Than I woke up and realized they'd never sounded that good in their lives and I had to learn to deal with that. Overdubbing most of their best ever live album really disappointed me and I never looked at them the same way again. Even the Rolling Stones were fake. I grew up the day I learned that and I still wish that day had never come.

Wow, the BS is flying hot and heavy here today, folks. As has been discussed in great depth here many, many times, the amount of overdubbing on GYYYO is extremely minimal. 6 tunes have overdubbing of the vocals, only one of which is substantial-JJFlash. This was due to MJ deciding that it should sound like the phrasing of the single rather than the way he sang it on the entire 69 tour.
The "But it's alright, yeah it's alright" as opposed to the familiar "But it's alllllright now" phrasing.

There are a couple of other small things, but all are done for technical issues; none to cover for any lack of excellence or to give a different impression of what actually took place. The audience tapes bear this out. The Rolling Stones actually were that un-freaking believable. Legend? YES; Myth? NO

I understand your irritation, but it has been researched to a microscopic level, and the fraud that you sense happened? It just ain't so. For all the smoking guns and spent shells forensic breakdown check out ChrisM's exhaustive work at-

and have your beautiful childhood visions returned to you.

Is she related to the Guy who yells "Paint It Black!" before Let it Rock?

The guy on Let It Rock does not yell Paint Y Black...
He yells Let It Rock!
Listen again...

That guy yelling Goddamn! twice in Midnight Rambler helped shape my life of saying that word loudly.

Oh the chick says, Paint It Black, Paint It Black you devil, not you girl or whatever that was.

They were good between Detroit (Nov.24) and Boston (Nov.29). Before that I hear a band that's looking for the right formula.

Theres something on youtube about the woman who claims to be the one yelling out "PIB" but she was yelling that before the show started...guess they just thought it sounded nice spliced in right before
Sympathy"...

That's one of the reasons bootlegs are useful. She screamed before the show. Oh, and Altamont wasn'st like the movie suggests. The bootlegs don't lie to me (and you).

Why would someone yell out a song request before the concert, when no one was onstage?

Only some vocals and two rhythm guitar tracks. The Stones WERE that good.

Why did you believe that more was overdubbed?

And those overdubs didn't even improve the music at all. So the Stones were even better.

There was a thread abut this. How did the that yelled "Let it Rock" kknow that they were going to play that song...unless it was someone from the stage...if that's what he said (which it sounds like). They only played it once on that tour, am I correct?

Oh, incidentally, the Stones wanted R. Crumb to draw an album cover, and he turned them down.

Any more info about that? Why did he turn it down?

He doesn't like their music. Or any modern music.

“I thought their band was lame. I’m stuck on old music, from the 1920s and 30s — most of the covers have been for that kind of music, whether with contemporary people playing it or reissues of old records. I don’t care much for modern rock’n'roll. I did a cover for Janis Joplin, but she came personally and asked me. And I needed the money.”
--Robert Crumb
