Gimme Shelter ☮ Joan Osborne & Friends (Live, NYC)

[vibroluxor]

The tune sounds thin, meandering and disjointed. Phil needs to drop an octave when he's playing bass on this tune and give it a groove.

I agree the BEST VOICE since JOPLIN That my friend is a STONE Fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[69Dublin]

It is fantastic ! Thats all that has to be said.

what a voice

[masercot]

Best voice since Joplin...

[PizmoBeach1]

I'm ok with it until it gets to the chorus. Just doesn't sound right without the Mary Clayton -high notes added in. Not bad though. The muscians could be a little tighter, too. In my opinion anyway...

[EzrinJem2]

@PizmoBeach1 I agree. This sounded like the kind of band you'd see in a small club and say "yeah, they were ok, but not great."

[phaknA]

Joan can sing anything; check out All Along The Watchtower...Help Me...Fergie from the BEP's does a decent version of this...especially the chorus!

[chasefukuoka61]

@phaknA - Yeah, i agree about Joan, and Fergie did pretty well as well. I've uploaded the Watchtower, also Morning Dew, Lovelight, Sugaree, High Times, China Doll and other Dead songs that Joan sang.

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I used to have 3 versions of it. The Stones, of course, Merry Clayton (Yes, it's spelled that way because she was born on Christmas), who sang back-up on the Stones version, and Ruth Copeland, who opened for the Stones, on one of their tours. I used to play all 3, back-to-back, frequently. RAPE! MURDER!

[MrGratefulDean]
