This is supposedly from an uncirculated source I got ripped from A Friend. I cleaned it up using click repair.
It is a really good listen but again this is not my rip

1. Jumpin' Jack Flash
All "Ya-Ya's" vocal overdubs present in music that was recorded live at MSG on November 27, 1969.
- Instrumental Break #1
At 1:23 a Keith Richards solo begins and continues until Jagger starts Line 9 of the song!
- Instrumental Break #2
At 2:39 a Keith Richards solo begins and continues until the final rhythm notes are played!
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Rhythm guitar: Right channel
Richards - Backing vocal on the chorus: Right channel
Mick Taylor - "Doubled" counter rhythms: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle right
Watts - Drums: Middle, cymbals middle right channel
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Rhythm: Middle right
Richards - Backing vocal is mixed down to nearly inaudible
Mick Taylor - Mixed on top of Richards: Middle right
Wyman - Bass: Middle right
Watts - Drums: Middle, cymbals middle right channel
Richards' guitar was overdubbed at a later date in time as evidenced by the lack of these solos on the audience source recording. It was erased from the track before the release of the record. This is the first indication of the possibility of an instrumental overdub.
2. Carol
1.) Oh yeah thank you kindly
2.) I think I busted a button on my trousers hope they don't fall down
3.) It's that jumping around man I have to do it up again...whew
4.) You don't want my trousers to fall down now do you?
The spoken words on GYYYO are from MSG 11/27/69 with line 3 edited out.
These lines are not present on the acetate at this point. No words are spoken between JJF and Carol.
This source of Carol is MSG 11/28/69 1st show as is GYYYO with a live vocal (not overdubbed). The mixes vary:
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Rhythm/lead guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Subtle counter rhythms: Left channel
Ian Stewart - Piano: Middle left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle right
Watts - Drums: Middle, cymbals middle right channel
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left
Richards - Rhythm/lead guitar: Middle left channel
Mick Taylor - Not present!
Ian Stewart - Piano: Middle right channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle right and somewhat louder in the mix
Watts - Drums: Middle, cymbals middle right channel
A clapping track is mixed in the right channel in the closing seconds of the song
Taylor's guitar is absent from the track. Either mixed down, left off the track, or possibly overdubbed at a later date. Note that the rhythm section placement was not altered between the two sources.
3. Stray Cat Blues
The spoken words "Thank you" spliced between Carol and Stray Cat Blues on GYYYO are from MSG 11/27/69 just before Honky Tonk Women. This particular "Thank you" is distinguishable by it's nasal and accentuated intonation by Jagger.
These words are not present on the acetate. No words are spoken between Carol and Stray Cat Blues.
The acetate like GYYYO uses the musical source from Baltimore 11/26/69, with an overdubbed vocal.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Rhythm/lead guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Counter rhythms and stinging chorus lead lines: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums & cymbals: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle right.
The vocal is increasingly louder in the mix as the song goes on.
Richards - Rhythm/lead guitar: Middle left channel & pans to "hard" left at 2:42
Mick Taylor - Middle right & pans to "hard" right at 2:09 for the solo
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums & cymbals: Middle
Well, maybe no revelations on this one except that the guitar channels are switched and the there is experimenting going on with the mix. The track ends-up as clear sounding wide guitar mix.
4. Love In Vain
The "well all right" between Stray Cat Blues and Love In Vain on GYYYO is a splice. The "well all rights" usually came before Honky Tonk Women, but this one is not the same as those that precede HTW (side 2) on "Ya-Ya's" from 11/28/69 1st show. The spoken "well all right" is probably from 11/28/69 2nd show. These words are also present on the acetate. There are additional spoken words from Jagger that are the result of a rough splice:
The spoken words before Love In Vain, Baltimore, 11/26/69:
1.) Thank You
2.) We're gonna do a . . .
3.) We're gonna do a blues
4.) For you now 'cause
5.) We're gonna slow it down for you
6.) Because you think . . .
7.) I think you like it, like that
8.) For a little while
9.) We're gonna do Love In Vain ...
There is a faint trace of line #9 present on the acetate!
Lines 1 through 8 are edited out. Jagger's way of saying that he wasn't too happy with the crowd reception, alluding that they may prefer the more subdued blues of Robert Johnson. Remember, that there were screaming girls filling the audience on the prior tour (1966) of the States. The crowd was sitting down and listening to the music this time around . . . and did they have something to listen to.
The acetate like GYYYO uses the Love In Vain source from Baltimore 11/26/69. There are no detectable overdubs on this one.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Rhythm guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Taylor slide begins at 1:20: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle right
Watts - Drums at 1:14: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle right.
Richards - Rhythm guitar: Left channel
Mick Taylor - Right channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
The guitar channels are switched, which is also consistent with the crystal clear outtake version found on the "A Shot of Salvation: Old Masters 2" CD on Scorpio.
5. Midnight Rambler
On GYYYO the spoken words between Love In Vain and Midnight Rambler are from MSG 11/28/69 2nd show as follows:
1.) Thank You
2.) Ah well
3.) We're gonna do a new one for you
4.) Which you haven't received yet . . . feedback (Marker)
5.) All right, and... it's called Midnight Rambler
6.) Ooh ya, well I'm a talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler
7.) Everybody got to go
Lines 1 through 4 have been edited out of GYYYO.
Note: The studio version of MR from "Let It Bleed" was released in the US on December 5, 1969, so songs from this LP were completely unknown to those who had not attended previous shows. Even Honky Tonk Women released on July 3, 1969 would be a completely different version on the album. They basically toured on the strength of this classic single, and put it all on the line by playing "unreleased" songs for audiences that were carefully listening to the music. For a one week period the 1997 leg of the "Bridges To Babylon Tour" also previewed (to a lessor extent) previously unheard songs. On another historical note, Brown Sugar was first played at Altamont and regularly on the 1970 European Tour prior to it's 1971 release.
There are additional spoken words from Jagger spliced into the acetate track:
Fade-in: Harp tease
Ah well
We're gonna do a new one for you
Which we hope you can dig it . . . feedback (Marker)
All right, and... it's called Midnight Rambler
The harp intro. is musically the same as MSG 11/28/69 2nd show, but there is an edit in the spoken words by Jagger in Line 4. "Which you haven't received yet" is replaced with "Which we hope you can dig it". The original spoken words would have been dated by a reference to "Let It Bleed" not being released by the time "Ya-Ya's" was issued nearly a year later. The question is; where did these words come from? Jagger spoke these words at MSG Nov. 27, 1969:
"We're gonna do a new one for you"
"Which we hope you dig it"
Close, but not the same; "can" is left out of this line.
Baltimore Nov. 26, Boston Nov. 29, Palm Beach Nov. 30, and Altamont Dec. 6th also checked, but none of these introductions come close. This line may have been spliced in from words spoken on Nov. 28 1st show by process of elimination, or by an overdub placed on the vocal track.
Add:
Ooh ya, well I'm a talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler
Everybody got to go
From MSG 11/28/69 2nd show (as on GYYYO)
The acetate like GYYYO uses the source from MSG November 28, 1969 2nd show. There are no detectable overdubs!
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal & harp: Middle
Richards - Rhythm guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Lead and rhythm tapestry: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle right
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left.
Richards - Rhythm guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Lead and rhythm: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
The guitar channels are not switched this time. The main differences are the added intro. words from Nov. 28, and edit to line 4 of the spoken words.
6. Live With Me
The in-between words spoken before Live With Me on "Ya-Ya's" are as follows:
Well all right
You having a good time?
These spoken words are possibly MSG 11/28/69 2nd show.
There are no words spoken by Jagger prior to Live With Me on the acetate. Only an audience fade-in on side two of the disc.
The acetate like GYYYO uses the instrumental tracks from 11/28/69 2nd, with the vocal overdubbed.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal & harp: Middle
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Counter rhythms: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left.
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel (down in the mix except for the solo)
Mick Taylor - Counter rhythms: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
The acetate mix favors Taylor's guitar in the left channel. Unlike "digitally mastered" CD's the drum sound is clear and resonant.
7. Little Queenie
In between words from Live With Me to Little Queenie on "Ya-Ya's":
"Aw New York City your talkin' a lot...let's have a look at you".
These same lines are found in the opening words by Jagger in the "Gimme Shelter" movie just before Jumpin' Jack Flash. These spoken are from 11/28/69 1st show.
These words also spoken by Jagger prior to Little Queenie on the acetate.
Note: Jagger faintly saying "I love New York" in the first seconds of the song on GYYYO!
The acetate like GYYYO, and a video that circulates of this song are 11/28/69 1st show by process of elimination. There is unique evidence that the vocal on "Ya-Ya's" has been overdubbed. The video "documents" the original vocal from 11/28/69 1st show!
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel
Richards - Backing vocal: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Counter rhythm fills: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
The clap track overlaps more of the opening bar than on Ya-Ya's
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left. There is a more prominent (studio) reverb present on the vocal.
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel. Slightly lower in the mix.
Richards - Backing vocal overdub at a slightly higher level than on GYYYO
Mick Taylor - Counter rhythm fills: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
The outro guitar bar is played at a higher level in the mix.
8. Honky Tonk Women
In between words from Little Queenie to Honky Tonk Women on "Ya-Ya's":
1.) Well all right
2.) Well all right
3.) Well all right (Feedback)
4.) Whoo
5.) Well all right
6.) Charlie's good tonight inny he
Lines 5 & 6 can also be heard in the Gimme Shelter movie in the Jagger chatter after Jumpin' Jack Flash. These words probably precede Honky Tonk Women on either 11/28/69 1st or 2nd show.
These words also spoken by Jagger prior to Honky Tonk Women on the acetate.
The acetate like GYYYO is the instrumental track from MSG 11/27/69. The vocal is overdubbed, and the "Paris Verse" replaces the "New York Verse" that was originally recorded live.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel
Richards - Backing vocal: Middle right
Mick Taylor - Rhythm fills: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
There is a start - a stop - and a restart of the opening bar on the acetate
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left.
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel.
Richards - Backing vocal: Middle left
Mick Taylor - Rhythm fills: Left channel. Slightly louder in the mix.
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
9. Sympathy for the Devil
We are out of sequence in the track list at this point to make a direct comparison to "Ya-Ya's", but "Ya-Ya's" will be referenced here in order to completely document the differences between the two recordings:
Background words spoken between Midnight Rambler and SFTD on GYYYO:
Woman in the crowd: (left channel)
Keith...Paint It Black..Paint It Black
Jagger off-mic.: (right channel)
"I'm ready"
Woman in the crowd: (left channel)
Paint It Black you Devils...Do Paint It Black
The "woman in the crowd" was in attendance at the MSG 11/28/69 2nd show performance.
These words are not present at this point on the acetate. Reference the opening prior to Jumpin' Jack Flash on the acetate.
Jagger's words from the acetate:
We're gonna do one more and we're gonna go
(The crowd clearly screams "NOOOOO!" in the right channel)
These words precede Street Fighting Man on "Ya-Ya's", and were probably spoken on 11/28/69 1st or 2nd, but are most likely an overdub.
Rough "skip" sounding splice:
I think I busted a button on my trousers hope they don't fall down
You don't want my trousers to fall down now do you?
These edited lines are from MSG 11/27/69, and precede Carol on GYYYO.
The acetate like GYYYO uses the Sympathy for the Devil source from MSG 11/28/69 1st show.
"Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel
Mick Taylor - Lead/rhythm guitar: Left channel
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Mix:
Jagger - Vocal: Middle left.
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Middle left
Mick Taylor - Lead/rhythm guitar: Middle right
Wyman - Bass: Middle
Watts - Drums: Middle
"Apple Acetate" - The Verses:
Verse #2 and Chorus #2 are edited out of the acetate!
Verse #2
I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was time for a change
Killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia...screamed in vain
I rode a tank in the generals rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
Aw yeah
Chorus #2
A 'cause I'm...pleased to meet you and I...hope you guess a my name
Aw-oh baby
What's been puzzling you is just the...nature of a my game
Aw baby
Verse #3 and Chorus #3 are edited out of the acetate!
Verse # 3
I watched with glee while your king and queens
Fought for ten dec-ades...a for the gods they made
I shouted out...who killed the Kennedy's
A well a after all...after all, it was...you and me
A why don't...a let me please introduce myself
Why I'm a man of wealth and taste
Yes and I...I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Ah
Chorus #3
And I'm a... pleased to meet you baby...hope you guess a my name
Aw yeah
A what's been puzzling you is just the...nature of my game
The missing Verse #4 & Chorus #4 NOT on "Ya-Ya's" ARE present on the acetate!!
_The Lost Verse!_
I wanna tell ya . . .
Just as every cop is a criminal...and all the sinners saints
As heads is tails...just call me Lucifer
I'm in need of...some restraint
So if you meet me...have some courtesy...have some sympathy...have some taste
Use all your well learned politesse...or I'll lay-your soul to waste
Yeah
_The Lost Chorus!_
Pleased to meet you baby...hope you guess a my name
Ahhh...yeah
What's been puzzling you is just the...nature of a my game
* These words have been missing from the commercial release for over 28 YEARS!
At this point: Instrumental Break #1 and Outro verses:
"Awwoooowhooooo"
Instrumental Break #1: Keith Richards burns it up with his soulful guitar solo.
"Oh yeah" (faint) during the solo (3:11)
"Yeah" during the solo (3:16)
(3:19) "Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down, slow it down, slow it down...whoo...yeah" (very faint during the solo - also present on "Ya-Ya's")
Ohh Hooo
Aw yeah
Oh yeah, oohh come on down
Tell me baby...a what my name
Tell me sweety...a what my name
Oh yeah, oh yeah, ohh whoo
Jagger's vocal is mixed down to barely audible at this point, and for the remainder of the song, leaving the focus of the listening on Mick Taylor's magnificent guitar playing:
Ohh whoo, ohh whoo, yeah
Awww-oh
I think I'm gonna get on down, aahh
Come on down, shewoo, come on down boy
Oh come on down, oh come on down, come on down
Aww-ooh, yeah, I'm gonna throw you down,
Keith: "Hey" is missing from the acetate
Instrumental Break #2: Mick Taylor guitar solo (left) channel.
"Awwyeah" during the solo (5:24)
Whoo... (5:35)
Awwwohh
Now down the song, I get on down, I get on down, give it to 'em
Crowd track comes-up in the mix in the right channel during the closing seconds of the song.
If you splice in Verse #4 onward your GYYYO CD/LP, you will have the entire song as it was played on November 28, 1969 1st Show!
10. Street Fighting Man
The spoken words that precede SFM on the acetate are taken from the Jagger chatter between Sympathy for the Devil and Live With Me on "Ya-Ya's":
Well all right
You having a good time?
These spoken words are from 11/28/69 1st or 2nd.
The acetate like GYYYO uses the Street Fighting Man source from MSG 11/28/69 1st show with an overdubbed vocal. The "A Shot of Salvation" CD on Scorpio contains the original vocal take (Note: Minus Richards back-up vocals).

Jagger - Vocal: Middle right
Richards - Lead/rhythm guitar: Right channel
Richards back-up vocal: Right and up in the mix
