Cool as a rarity, but not nearly as good as the released version. This is the most haunting, beautiful rock song ever written. If the Stones never did anything after this, it would have put them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And syiu222 was right. This is just background vocals with Mick cut out.

I'm calling bullsh_t on this being an early version of Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones.
This sounds like a bad overdub with a number of very obvious and amateur splices in it, that someone is claiming to be an early recording of "Gimme Shelter"
Listen to Keith's real vocals on "Happy" or any song from the 60's where he's singing back up.
His voice has a much higher pitch to it.
It wasn't until the 70's that his voice started getting deeper when he sang.

one of the strengths of this piece and every thing on Let it Bleed is what we call syncopated percussion....actually two lead lines in a way.......the song vocal and guitar line and the separate complexed sounds with double beats......has stood the test of time.

If you not already did, you should also watch Keith Richard's version of the song with the X-pensisve Winos in Boston in 1993. It's truly great, better than this one, I think! But not only Keith Richards is very good there, the whole band plays so fantasticly tight and it has a very dark sound, also thanks to Richards' rough voice he got within the years and which does not only sound rough there but tough, too.

@velocity90 The fact is, Genius; that this IS the Rolling Stones; wherever it came from.
Nobody can sound quite like the Stones.
You just ain't nearly as smart as you thought you was.
Probably can't carry a tune in a bucket; either.

@velocity90 Yeah, it's the recorded version exactly, with vocals thrown in.

If a band has the money for the studio time, every song is tried with every possible combination you can imagine. That's why "Dark Side of the Moon" took over 6 months to record. You should hear some of the killer guitar that was dropped for the finished product. Sometimes it just makes you shake your head?

Still the greatest intro to a song ever... it sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. This is really interesting to hear it with Keef on vox. Not as good as Mick, but the song is so good that it doesn't make much difference to the overall enjoyment.
