Film Synopsis:

GET YER YA-YA’S OUT! is a chronicle of The Rolling Stones’ epic
performance at Madison Square Garden in November 1969. Albert
and David Maysles famously documented the Rolling Stones’ 1969
U.S. tour in the feature documentary Gimme Shelter, released in 1970.
Now, Albert Maysles has put together never-before seen archive
footage that shows the band — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie
Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman — at its apogee, wowing New York audiences at Madison Square Garden over the Thanksgiving weekend
of that year. Beyond the full-length performances of five Stones songs — presented in surround sound — the film includes a cover shoot, rare
backstage footage, a mixing session and more. 

Reviews:

“27 minutes of pure pleasure. An intoxicating snapshot of the
Rolling Stones’ 1969 tour, this irresistible time capsule captures
the band before they were a brand, and includes glimpses of
Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
