Tonight: Rolling Stones screening with filmmaker in person
Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out is the newish Rolling Stones documentary, and IFC is screening it tonight at 8:45pm with the filmmaker Albert Maysles in person. It’s only 27 minutes long, so they’ve paired it with Sympathy for the Devil, Jean-Luc Godard’s 1968 film on the band, which will follow.
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 [1969].
