Yep. For one of the (if not THE) greatest live bands of all time, the recorded evidence to back that argument up isnt anywhere near as strong as it should be.

Mainly due to reworking and editing a lot of the life out of some fine material.

What's so bad with Got Live?

A part the couple of fake live songs, it is truly great: you can feel the excitement in those Bristol and Newcastle shows. The fast beat is tempered by the feel of a great r&b band - feel that they somehow lost in the dope in the following years.

There's Ya-Ya's then there's everything else... Listen to the power of STRAY CAT or SYMPATHY - the back and forth lead guitars taking their turn - The BEST live album ever released by ANY BAND !!! (great cover and title too)

6 - Ya-Ya's
5 - Still Life and Stripped
4 - Flashpoint
3 - Got Live EP and Rock n Roll Circus
2 - Love You Live and Live Licks
1 - Got Live LP

Ya-Yas is far and a way the best of the lot, but there are some truly amazing tracks scattered across the remainder, especially on No Security and Stripped.

Count this one as a spoiled ballot paper.

Ya Yas - 6
Stripped - 4
Love You Live - 4
Still Life - 3
Got LIVE If You Want It - 3
Flashpoint - 3
Live Licks - 1
No Security - 3

Ya Ya
Ya Ya Ya
Ya Ya Ya Ya
Love You Live

Get Yer Ya Yas Out - 6
Stripped - 4
Love You Live - 3 (The El Mocambo side is great, the rest is not)
Still Live - 3
Flashpoint - 2
Got Live If You Want It - 1 (This is the US live album, not the UK EP!)
Live Licks - 2
No Security - 2

Stripped, coupled with the extra live tracks on CD singles -- 6

Once again, rather than releasing all of the 1995 live material in one package, we get it in pieces.

All the rest -- nada. Everyone knows that Ya-Ya's was doctored with studio overdubs, so it has acquired a legendary status that it doesn't deserve.

The BEST live material exists in the vaults, and on bootlegs (audio and video).

I didn't intend this to be an editorial, but, for all of Mick Jagger's alleged business acumen, the neglect of the rich vein of live material they can clean up and release is inexplicable. Is it all being saved for their eventual retirement? Perhaps.

Number One .... "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" or keep your mouth shut

Number Two "Keep Your Mouth Shut" (Unteleased 1969 live songs)

Numer three "Brussels Sprouts" Man !!!!!!!!! I love sprouts

Love You Live - 4
Still Life - 4
Got LIVE If You Want It - 1 (help, screaming girls!)

Live Licks - 1 (just gimme Four Flicks)

#1 Get Yer Ya Yas Out
#2 Love You Live
#3 Still Life

All the rest are boring.

I don't know about you but I generally find the visual enjoyment of watching the Stones perform adds hugely to my enjoyment of the live albums, not withstanding the above showstoppers.
