As I said three weeks ago (look for my post entitled get yer ya yas 1969 tour anniversary) I told of a box set that included bonus tracks. The xtra tracks to be included are Under My Thumb, Prodical Son, You Gotta Move, Im Free & Satisfaction. These songs will be presented in audio & video format. The questions remain..Why only five songs and why only from MSG? San Francisco was also filmed( its in Gimmie Shelter) The footage is basically songs that were recorded at MSG on Nov. 27 & 28th. The Stones played two shows a day. Thats 4 Shows. Surely there were other versions of Sympathy, midnight Rambler,Love In Vain, Stray Cat Blues, Live With Me, Carol, Little Queenie, Street Fighting Man & Honky Tonk Women that were usable. What ABKCO did was complete the set. You see back in 1969 The Stones only played 16 or 17 songs per show. What abkco did was fill in the missing songs, so now if you have the original Get Yer Ya Yas Out(12 songs) and the box set Outakes of 5 songs. You now have one complete set(using various shows) from the garden. Yea, thats ok, But Why couldn't abkco include these bonus tracks on the original ya yas and then construct an alternate ya yas using the left over performances? They should have done that instead of giving us 12 songs by BB King & Ike & Tina on disc three. I mean Think Of It...Only 5 Additional tracks by the Stones & 12 by The Opening Bands!! Puzzling ? Then again it's ABKCO...They always find a way to spoil the party!!
