Title: some good stuff here
Product review: I remember reading how the Stones were stupified when they visited Chess Records in 1964 and were amazed that they had all these reels of audience reaction, for dubbing onto supposed live records. Yes, "Got Live" is doctored in the studio in many parts, and "Fortune Teller" and "Been Loving You" are obvious studio songs with applause overdubbed blatantly. But this album has value in that 1) It features a live performance with Brian Jones instead of Mick Taylor or Ron Wood, and Brian's contributions hold up quite nicely--like the breakneck signature riff on "The Last Time." I really liked this album when I first heard it about 1970, and in retrospect, after tiring of the "Ya Yas" album with Mick Taylor--he's good but not Brian's fire, to my mind--Got Live is kind of fun. Plus it documents a vital period in Stones history--they'd been amasing some cool hits like "Have You Seen Your Mother?" It's fresh and fun in 2001.
