In fairness, there were some clashes on Little Queenie.
Actually, that's not true. We know exactly what happened thanks to ChrisM's great work at rollingstones.netQuote

Thanks for the feedback guys. When it comes down to it the only ones who would know are those involved. Still one of the greatset Stones moments imo.

this topic pops up once and awhile-this overdub,that overdub.who gives a shit,it's the best live rock and roll record ever made.
then of course you get the list of "well you know record X has NO OVERDUBS ON IT" as if we're in school taking an overdub test and the stones cheated,nevermind that record X always sucks compared to ya ya's.
if you want the raw live sound just find bootlegs from 69,i think you'll find the same sound with a guitar going out of tune or an occasional microphone squeal.
i guess they could've just hid out in the studio and saved themselves the trouble but that isnt the rolling stones now,is it?

Anybody out there complaining that, for example, Brown Sugar was basically recorded in 1969, and at least the sax solo and lead vocals were overdubbed later?

That's the weakest argument possible. Because you're talking about a studio song here (BS) and the discussion is about the realness of a live recording. If you don't see the difference and say: "Well, as long as it all sounds good", then that's the end of the discussion. But in my simple opinion overdubs aren't allowed on a live album. And if so, don't call it 'live'.

Got to hear a audience bootleg of the Baltimore show. Love In Vain was not overdubbed in any way. I even synced the audience bootleg recording with the Ya Yas version, and it's a perfect match. Makes it all the more amazing.
So that's cool.
A Guideline on Ya Yas vocal overdubs: if you hear Keith singing backup, it's an overdub as he mostly didn't do that on those shows. Here and there, yes. But mostly no.
As to the question of why they also dubbed MJs vocals when they added Keith's, I dunno. Maybe it was a technical limitation of the time.
