This version is great if only because its different.Its fun to hear different versions and eras and years of a great song.Its all good.ITS ONLY ROCK AND ROLL,right?
Yep, heroin makes you play faster, not slower.....the whole tour sounds a lot like this...and the phaser on teh guitar makes that tour too....This is the worst they every played...but el mocombo in 1977 was great! Def initley ron wood on lead....sad
This is with ron wood. Lead is not taylor, nor richards. Wah is done by Billy Preston with keyboards. Left guitar is keith, right ronie wood only ronie did that lead.
This must be a rehearsal from 1975-6 if you don't believe me just listen from that era shows.
yehm i agree with catchsight ... the one we know and love from let it bleed has that eerie, menacing quality that this lacks ... i navaer heard an actually menacing, and maybe a little scary guitar riff before the let it bleed and get yer ya-ya's out albums ... mick taylor is a master ...also, i have heard the stones can take forever to work up a song so it meets the 'standard' - this one obviously didnt, or we would have heard it ...

The only version of gimme shelter i don't like is when Keith couldn't get his part right , it was a life show and not one of his better ones ! Raw , but i like it !
Random criminal man: So what am I here for? Mister/Miss Judge: Before we begin wasting time may I ask you a question? R.C.M: Sure! Mister/Miss Judge: Do you Rolling Stones R.C.M: Rolling Stones... some construction company or something.. (laughing gently)

A comment to some of the critics: try and play and sing this all at once and you'll see how complex music this is. It seems simple but in its simplicity it is genial!
This is a timelss classic that will always be up to date.
They're both great in different ways. I prefer the official version though, it's much more eerie. This is more of a raucous rock and roll kind of deal.
This isn't an early take of the original Gimme Shelter. All the early takes of Shelter were dark -- even darker than the released version. This is from Pearls at Swine, the bootleg of the May 1978 Woodstock Rehearsals for their `78 U.S. tour. You can hear that it's Ronnie Wood, not Mick Taylor. Apparently the Stones didn't like what they heard much, cuz Gimme Shelter never made it onto the set list for that tour.
Hmmmm. . . noisy, and devoid of the chilling atmosphere that makes the recorded version work so well. Jagger sucks when he doesn't care enough to actually sing too.
if scorsese worked on woodstock that would be news to him and the last waltz is garbage as is the music and sound quality ....there is nothing creative in his stones movie ... go watch gimmie shelter and 25 x 5 then come back and discuss him ... junior
this sounds like its from the movie gimmie shelter - the best stones movie followed by 25 x 5, the scorcesie movie sucked, which is to be expected he hasnt a clue what this is all about
@kaja66 scorsese has no clue? he only worked on woodstock and directed the Last Waltz. ever see his blues series? i guess we're all entitled to our opinions. some of us base our opinions on fact, however. you didn't like the movie, fine, but to suggest that marty has no clue...
Well I was a bit too young (12) to be at Altamont, and on the wrong continent, too, and on consideration I'm glad I wasn't there, for obvious reasons! First time I saw The Stones was 1976 at Knebworth ...
Who ever hates this song should be banned from this site...This is the bomb! Music will never be made like this again.....I just hate I was too young to see them at Altamont.
you realize how much Merry Clayton energized the version on the LP.
Ronnie Wood was not credited anywhere on Let It Bleed . Daryl Jones is the closest thing to a virtuoso in the Stones, that shows you the importance of style when it comes to rock and roll.
I think it's live from somewhere? Oh yeah, Mick Taylor was the 'best guitarist ever in the Stones. Whether he was the best 'Rolling Stones guitarist' is a different matter (I think that would be Keith, since he invented Rolling Stones-style guitar playing). Mick was virtuoso-guitar-applied-to-the-Stones, which is a different thing. Equally interesting.
Rock and roll should be seen as well as heard. If we can't see the boys. it loses a lot of its impact. This is a guitar-ric version, but I would like to see Mick running around on the stage.
@DisasterBlaster500 both versions are good. This ones more of a party/ rock tune. The official is more of a slow rock / soul song, really deep and emotional. I like them both and i cant see why some people think one is better than the other.
Bonjour, vous aimez les sixties ? écoutez et podcastez mon émission "le super son des 60's" sur le site de plumfm. You like the 60's ? please, listen and podcast my broadcast "le super son des 60's", connect to "plumfm". Salut et faites gaffe au rock and roll.
The "Mick Taylor Years"; as they are called, are considered the best albums for the Stones. There are no better albums then Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed (some Mick Taylor, due to Jone's death/absences), Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St., Goat Head Soup, and It's only Rock & Roll (all Taylor). The Stones did have many HITS with Brian Jones, and some with Ronnie Woods, but during this period they were on the top and NO ONE could touch them, not even the British Government! Timeless!
When laying down suppressing fire in Call Of Duty: Black Ops I think on this song. Two flash grenades later I take fire and note that it really is just a shot away.
Its funny how we can accept that the Beatles changed their musical approach many times as they progressed...but we basically say to the Stones..." hey....just them blues and dont you dare jump out of that box"....or you just wont be cool anymore..
On the other hand....it is this relic quality that makes the Stones like a looking glass back to the 60's...and we just keep showing up for "last concert for sure"..they throw at us every year..
This is a good version; more like a live version. Stones outtakes are better than most bands "premium produce". juandhalrich, below; is a dip-shit. Stones have done some great music with Ronnie. "Mixed Emotions" and "Already Over Me" to name a few. Taylor was a great guitarist, and I have missed him too. But he didn't make or break the Stones. What really makes the Stones is: 1) The songs that Mick and Keith write and, 2) The Vision of Keith Richards. This is Keiths band!
@swiggy58a Yes Keith & Mick have been the main songwriters, but there wouldn't have been any Rolling Stones without the Late Great Brian Jones, The "Rollin' Stones" was originally Brian's band, even if he didn't write the songs, who could forget Brian's slide guitar on Little Red Rooster & Everybody Needs Somebody, sitar on Paint IT Black, harpsichord on Lady Jane, autoharp on You Got The Silver, Pianp on Let's Spend the Night Together, flute on Ruby Tuesday, accordion on Back Street Girl&
@swiggy58a & also mellotron on 2000 Light Years From Home, to name a few. I do enjoy Voodoo Lounge- A Bigger Bang, ABB is the Stones really on form , esp Back Of My Hand but I think the Stones greatest moments were from 1964- Exile On Main Street!!!!
we is just reduced to dustifications of pentacostal evangeliziums..ahh hmmm.Is this thing on.Yes my you tube ical brothers and sisters ,Know is the time to rise up and grab for those pink golden clouds of redemption!
I have noticed a few of their 80s concerts where they did "fast" versions and i much more prefer the original slower versions.I think it brings out the blues feel of their Roots!
This sounds like it's from the "Woodstock Rehearsals" sessions back in the late 70's. Best song on that set was Chuck Berry's "Beautiful Delilah" song. This recording was part of a rehearsal for a concert that never happened. It never was an original recording session from the "Let It Bleed" sessions that produced the original version of Gimme Shelter.
@jblacktree you obviously don't know very much about the Stones or music for that matter. Taylor a session guitarist? LOL That's hilarious.
Taylor was in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers when he was 17! Jagger has said the Taylor years were his favourite period musically with the band. The Stones work went downhill when Ron Wood joined the band.
I actually like this version much better than the original. The tempo of this version makes it sound more like a signature Rolling Stones rocker where the original sounds like a Santana-esque cha-cha-cha with its tempo and Latin percussion. Just my personal preference, no flames please but to me this version really rocks.
mick taylor rocked, stones would have never released sticky fingers without Taylor's endless hours in the production room with jagger. read your stone's history and get the shit out your ears before you diiss taylor!
@appletininao Taylor almost wrecked the STones. What fuckin book you been reading? He is an ordinary session guitarist--no more. No writing talent. No style. There are at least seven more imperative artists to the Stones--starting with Nicky Hopkins. But no Stones w/out Brin, Keith, Ron, Mick J, Bill, and Charlie.
@jblacktree "ordinary session guitarist"? I think not.The Stones don't ask ordinary session players to join the greatest rock and roll band in the world. You are full of shit.
@Artistspop - ummmm. i was pretty whacked that night. lol. sry man. of-course you're right. my apologies. jones - taylor , who can keep it all straight. good call on that. i'm the idiot.
but lets give props to taylor for 'sticky fingers' . not a bad effort. my favorite stones album really
@jefff182 ummmm. i was pretty wacked that night. lol. sry man. artistspop, of-course you're right. my apologies. jones - taylor , who can keep it all straight. good call on that.
really man. i swear. the first stones song i heard was by way of youtube. then i went to the other classic live performances in the related videos. i would have never come to love the stones as i do now if it weren't for those vintage live vids. and countless others never will. fuck ABKCO.
i'm with you Artistpop. Keith wields that guitar like an old lady slides into her slippers...effortless, and more comfortably at home than a gyppo's van on the local sunday leaguer's pitch
I just want to say I'm one of the biggest Stoners fan out there! I think Mic is just a lil eff up on some good ass bloody Keiths stash,,NO DISRESPECT, sincerely Robert F.
I agree, M.T. played slide guitar on Country Honk and guitar on Live with me. Brian Jones played percussion on Midnight Rambler and played autoharp on You got the silver. All other guitars were played by Keith Richards (both lead and rhythm) on the album -Let it Bleed. This info comes with the album- cd or vinyl ! Anyone who knows the stones and their albums would know this. This version of G. S. sounds like a Let it Bleed outtake in my opinion.
they tested there swimming skills and one faild and he left thegroup and no2 mike wrestled the guitar and made stones a group of good,angry,young music.Now its just a show,come one,gimme dollars(shit on the shelter)But when yuo listen to the records from 68 to 72 you know was Stones realy was,young angry men.Remember,there first hit singel was made of lennon/mcarhtny(fan kan inte stava,my grammer is shit,sorry)
Rolling stones is not about playing the best guitar in the world! it's about showmanship,it's about the Rock'n'Roll! keith and ronnie aren't the best players in the world that's true but you know what? together they're better than 10 others...and bring 1000's of people to the stadiums!
see if you can find the single band/guitar player in the world with 300 employees for each tour!
@dadasha i think this isn't correct. keiths guitar is not easy. ronnie is not the best this is fact but keith is one of, if not the best rythm player in the world. and his improvisations are awesome
@dadasha my friend .... you have seen to many u tube films of what the Stones say about themselves. They are both mega crap players .... and together they are two mega crap players. It doesn't matter that they play like shit .... together they all make some great sounds.
@MrCeej9999 Ha ha You're the only person in the world, including Ron Wood, who thinks hat Ron Wood is a better guitarist than Mick Taylor. Read or watch any Stones interview about him, and you will hear them say the same. Keith readily admits that Mick Taylor was the best Rolling Stones guitarist. But he also admits that he hated him and that a virtuoso guitarists is all Mick Taylor was and that he couldn't accept that.
"Unreleased version?" This is a live track with an annoying Woodie lead. And as far as live versions go, this one sucks. BTW, is there a Woodie lead that isn't annoying? RW sounds best when he's hamming it up, cherrleading, mugging, prancing and doing anything that real guitar players try to be good at doing.
This version is great if only because its different.Its fun to hear different versions and eras and years of a great song.Its all good.ITS ONLY ROCK AND ROLL,right?

@mangozumo Wasn't released because it was too good! Nice and raw without horns, backup singers, etc.

It might be easy for some guys to play the things Keith playing ,but, poor guys, you have to think that he wrote them too and that's the big deal

I actually like this version much better than the original. The tempo of this version makes it sound more like a signature Rolling Stones rocker where the original sounds like a Santana-esque cha-cha-cha with its tempo and Latin percussion. Just my personal preference, no flames please but to me this version really rocks.

@appletininao very good comment re M.T. you speak very correctly.

@appletininao Taylor almost wrecked the STones. What fuckin book you been reading? He is an ordinary session guitarist--no more. No writing talent. No style. There are at least seven more imperative artists to the Stones--starting with Nicky Hopkins. But no Stones w/out Brin, Keith, Ron, Mick J, Bill, and Charlie.

@jblacktree "ordinary session guitarist"? I think not.The Stones don't ask ordinary session players to join the greatest rock and roll band in the world. You are full of shit.

Way to destroy the Stones legacy ABCKO. All the million plus viewed videos can go to the Beatles.

really man. i swear. the first stones song i heard was by way of youtube. then i went to the other classic live performances in the related videos. i would have never come to love the stones as i do now if it weren't for those vintage live vids. and countless others never will. fuck ABKCO.

Does anybody have the studio version to post?
Or have the copyright owners sucked that all up?
They never bettered the studio version. The eerie intro, the stately tempo, the black chick singing, Rape, Murder...

I agree, M.T. played slide guitar on Country Honk and guitar on Live with me. Brian Jones played percussion on Midnight Rambler and played autoharp on You got the silver. All other guitars were played by Keith Richards (both lead and rhythm) on the album -Let it Bleed. This info comes with the album- cd or vinyl ! Anyone who knows the stones and their albums would know this. This version of G. S. sounds like a Let it Bleed outtake in my opinion.

Rolling stones is not about playing the best guitar in the world! it's about showmanship,it's about the Rock'n'Roll! keith and ronnie aren't the best players in the world that's true but you know what? together they're better than 10 others...and bring 1000's of people to the stadiums!
see if you can find the single band/guitar player in the world with 300 employees for each tour!

@dadasha - Keith certainly is one of the greatest guitarists in history, expanding the vocab of a guitar immensely.
unquietnights 1 year ago 3
@dadasha i think this isn't correct. keiths guitar is not easy. ronnie is not the best this is fact but keith is one of, if not the best rythm player in the world. and his improvisations are awesome

@dadasha my friend .... you have seen to many u tube films of what the Stones say about themselves. They are both mega crap players .... and together they are two mega crap players. It doesn't matter that they play like shit .... together they all make some great sounds.

No way he was better than Ronnie Wood. The Stones were really poor live, during Mick Taylors era. They got so much tighter when Wood joined.
In truth, Ronnie Wood is a better guitarist than Keith Richard as well.
MrCeej9999 1 year ago
@MrCeej9999 Ha ha You're the only person in the world, including Ron Wood, who thinks hat Ron Wood is a better guitarist than Mick Taylor. Read or watch any Stones interview about him, and you will hear them say the same. Keith readily admits that Mick Taylor was the best Rolling Stones guitarist. But he also admits that he hated him and that a virtuoso guitarists is all Mick Taylor was and that he couldn't accept that.
Hoopermazing 1 year ago
@dadasha
Playing super fast guitar isn’t really that hard in reality. It’s much harder to play stuff with real soul, and tone.
Ronnie Wood, and Keith Richards are probably two of the best Honky Tonk/R+B guitarists of all time
MrCeej9999 1 year ago
"Unreleased version?" This is a live track with an annoying Woodie lead. And as far as live versions go, this one sucks. BTW, is there a Woodie lead that isn't annoying? RW sounds best when he's hamming it up, cherrleading, mugging, prancing and doing anything that real guitar players try to be good at doing.

The Rolling Stones are nothing without Mick Taylor.
They were only good 69 through like 75. And even in like 74 and 75 they tried to steal the spot light from him.
