Live'r Than You'll Ever Be is a  of ' concert in , from 9 November 1969. It was one of the first live  bootlegs and was made notorious as a document of their . The popularity of the bootleg forced the Stones' label  to release the live album  in 1970. Live'r is also one of the earliest commercial bootleg recordings in rock history, released in December 1969.

Live'r Than You'll Ever Be was recorded by "Dub" Taylor from  using a  and a  "Report 4000"  tape recorder. It was the first audience-recorded rock bootleg to be  and distributed; some sources consider it the first live bootleg. Though the sound is not nearly as clear as the official release of Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!, the recording is considered to be very strong for an audience recording, especially one of that era. The Rolling Stones performed two sets that night and it is the second concert that was more heavily bootlegged and has sharper sound. Bootleggers had collaborated to record Stones shows across the United States, recording them on   recorders for months prior to the release of the album. At least one source claims that the recordings initially came from rock promoter 's staff, who used the tapes for broadcast on  and released their edit on Lurch Records in early 1970.

The recording was made available about one month after the concert, and it became popular enough to spur speculation that the Stones released Ya-Ya's as a response to the bootleg and the quality was high enough that it was rumoured that the band had even released the bootleg themselves.
