The Stones 'Get Yer Ya Ya's Out'-The Greatest?

There seems to be a big debate about this live album from The Stones. Its been called by many rock critics and fans the greatest live rock album ever made, while some others of course find it to be overrated, which is bound to happen when many people call any album 'the greatest of all-time'.
I was actually dissapointed when I first heard the album thinking it was not as great as everyone seemed to think. However, since listening to the album a few more times again, I have really grown to appreciate and enjoy this album way more and its a much better live album than what I first thought it to be(although their unreleased Brussels '73 live album completely blows this one away).

So how would you all rate this live album by The Stones? Do you feel it to be the greatest or one of the greatest live rock albums ever done or is it overrated to you?

It's one of the five best live rock albums ever released. My favourite is The Who's Live At Leeds, because - unlike The Stones album, Thin Lizzy's Live & Dangerous, Roxy Music's Viva and both Bowie live albums from the 70s, it wasn't overdubbed. Pure unadulterated FURY.

Three of the best Stones live albums are actually bootlegs - track down The Complete Brussels 1973, Handsome Girls (from the 78 tour), and Touring Party (72).

There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently
