It's a great version, but Fergie just can't make the notes, she's a superb singer, but she just can't make the same screechs as the original [and of course, it's live]
Love seeing U2, Ferggie and Mick together - now I can see why the Stones playing their own songs makes such a difference - Love the song - STONES STILL RULE!
WOW! Fergie rocks this tune man!! How the hell could Mick be standing there with her dressed like that, dancing like that, and singing like that in front of him without the crowd thinking he was packing an extra mic in his pants?????
Someone asked, why would Mick agree to do this? Because this shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that U2 can't even come close to The Rolling Stones. He just put an end to that debate forever.
Not to get too technical, but the Stones play this song in Open E tuning. It can be played in concert tuning, as in this video, but it just isn't the same. This video clearly illustrates why "Gimme Shelter" needs to be played in Open E tuning. This is not the worst version of this song that I have ever heard (Mick singing prevents that), but it is close. U2 should be able to stick to the authentic version of the song, which is not that hard to do.
Loved it...I can't believe these other comments....you people are too young to be so jealous and cynical...try seeing creativity in others and rejoice in it...
i feel bad for u2 they have to play with the likes of fag.i.am and that bbc slurper fergie to be considered relevant. mick jagger has more more swag than any of those posers on stage. should be ashamed that a 70 year old man can outshine you.
Love the look on Mick's face @ 1:00-1:10 as he struts out and looks at Bono...kinda saying, " Watch and LEARN, young man... this is how you rock a crowd..."
well, it is a song by mick jagger, and what the hell do you want from a true rocker at his age? he carries the song, its ok for fergie and bono to get thr feet wet. i give the whole thing an 8. mick and the boys are awesome. i agree, i bet he put it on fergie after the show.
@chrisearle007 Edge is not overrated, everybody knows he's not a very good guitar player but he's well known because he plays in a famous and legendary band.
True bastardization of a rocknroll legend. Extra cringe points for the bono "y'all" parts. Why did Jagger agree to this ? Defacing true great songs. Will.iam and u2 JUST PROVED to me that truly great music is long gone. Of course we get glimpses of genius in certain artists. Certainly not anything here. pass marks for fergie but thats honestly it. very sad indeed
The Edge is a decent guitar player, but not for this song. Keith Richards has a totally different style, guitar, tuning, and sounds that does the Edge is not duplicating. Not his style.
She obviously wants to suck Mick's dick (like every other woman that ever existed).

I'm big fan of U2 but Bono's guitar playing was better than his vocal. I didn't think that was possible.
U2 can still rock a stadium by themselves, but this just doesn't work.
