"Gimme Shelter" is a track we have wanted to record for years. This song expresses the urgency we all face to unite together as a planet and offers us wisdom with the words, "War, children, it's just a shot away... Love, sister, it's just a kiss away". It really is that simple. We dedicate this song to all the lost, homeless and forgotten people in this world. It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band-a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation-a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Agreed. Got my good chill vibes while listening.❤🙏
I am a 65 year old woman who finds herself in a shelter because of my health. However I know God is with me and I am grateful to be where I am. Playing for Change is a beautiful way to bring people together through music.
And yet it is this belief in a god that is responsible for all the hate in the world. Pray to your god about that.
@@teeanahera8949 REAL nice answer to someone thats suffering. Im SURE you'd say the same thing to someone in your family in the same situation, right? Smh.
@@teeanahera8949simply gob smacked at your absolute lack of empathy and human understanding. I hope you yourself are never in a situation where your faith is all that you have. Imagine how that might be, good person. Just imagine.
you are strong or you would not be here. in a social opportunity you share your truth. get better, stay strong.
Thank you for your kind words.
This is the only Rolling Stones song that I never ever tire of hearing. It’s one of those songs that were just channeled from the collective subconscious to be sung by anyone and everyone. It’s the people’s song.
Yes indeed!
Is it just me, or is anyone else's heart is breaking about the fact a 51 year old song about the need for unity is as relevant today as it was the day it was released
I'd thought I'd agree but actually I feel excited! It makes me hopeful that things will change again for the better. I love that whole new generations are ready and willing to "play for change!"
the song isn't about a junkie needing a fix?
"just a shot away"
@@donHooligan it's a protest song about gunfire and war not drugs
@@ladydianepoet
interesting. did not realize that.
Your breaking heart is not helping make any positive change. Think of others before yourself.
The shortest distance between countries and culture is a love of music! Bless you all!
So true!life is 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Indeed. As a musician, you can put hundreds of us together, all speaking different languages, and without using standard notation (sheet music), we'll come together and make beautiful music and joyful sounds.❤
yep
That's what the Nazis said
They loved music
Your comment is inane
it's GREAT to see Taj Mahal is still with us and looking in such good health!
This rendition still gives me chills, and I've probably listened to it 1000 times .Magnificent!
Love playing for change.
Same here, I never get tired of listening to this version and it always either gives me chills or tears
Having goosebumps as I type. Just a love away ❤
I'd 💙 to be in a PFC vid.
Arthritis, so guitar is Out. I could still bang a drum or some vocals. ✌️💀💨
And me too, it's a fantastic collaboration of some great singers and musicians.I never get tired of playing it.
I have heard this song for years. Finally, thanks to Playing for Change, I understand it.
The Only time I've ever heard someone do a Stones song Better than the original! Who ever produced this and integrated the various performers so perfectly is amazing. Thank you for sharing this great song so powerfully preformed.
It’s very very very good; but not better than the original.

Genieten wat een goed nummertje hè !!!
i love it amazing!!!!!
This is incredible!
+Playing For Change Indeed!
+Playing For Change quiero unirme a esas voces,,.. son maravillosos, felicidades desde Venezuela,..
HUGE FAN OF you all! Been a TAJ fan for last 50 years!!! I’ll never get to meet any of you, I’m sure, but thank you so much!!!!!
Gimme shelter..we all need it..never ending need..🇨🇦
2024 Brilliant version. Beautiful vocalist. Instrumentals are THE BEST congratulations 😊
Honestly though, I will never get tired of watching this.
This arrangement proves the beauty in music. It also proves the talent Keith Richards possesses. All are our gifts from humanity.
Richards talent….. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@jonesfactor9 Zappa was quirky, but not in any way widely popular. The Stones still sellout into their '80s. You like weird stuff. That's fine. Art is subjective and people know what they like. What's Zappa's most popular record? Valley Girl.
1,6 thousand bitter people. Amazing. How could you ever dislike this? Amazing is what it is!
Great to see Taj Mahal! One of the stars of the '60s who is still performing!
Wo! The Taj Mahal is in this? Awesome incredible Blues man.
First Time in 50 years I understood all the words. Thanks for posting.
Tears in my eyes when the lady in purple (Roselyn Williams) starts singing "love my brother, it's just a kiss away" with so much positive convincing energy.
Gets me every time too
Agree absolutely. I love Roselyn Williams!! ❤ Such a dynamic and passionate singer.
@@nancyullrich5447 yes! I didn't know her, but nice to know her through this project.
@@RosaLindeMuziek I hadn't heard of Roselyn Williams before I saw this video either. Makes me want to go to Jamaica to see her!!
@@nancyullrich5447 yes, me too!! That's something else than the Dutch way of making music (I'm Dutch).
@01:26 that growl by her gave me chills. Pure talent all the way around as usual.
This is what community is all about! Thank you!
Sherieta!!! Oh MY!!! What a voice! Gimme cold chills!
Great music, amazing vocals and fantastic musicians ! ❤
Music unites people, brings them together that’s why 21 million have listened to this stunning rendition.
this is for humanity..no race, no religion, no region, no caste. .... for Pure humans
Only “playing for change” can come up with this great song played by musicians from around the world. Fantastic!
I realize that music collaboration via the Internet and thumb drives is almost the norm these days, but I'm not a fan of 'mail it in' music. However, this video is certainly one exception. The world is a global community and with singers and instrumentalists all providing a cohesive work of 'Gimme Shelter'. The world is seeing what The Stones were warning us about.
One of my fav Stones songs, wonderful rendition
The new When The Levee Breaks gave me goosebumps. Especially with JPJ on bass 💜
Not to mention Derek Trucks workin the slide
Who would have thought this little gem from the soundtrack to Easy Rider would be the superbly crafted fine wine it has become?
A true classic!
Are you sure it's from the Easy Rider soundtrack? I had Easy Rider on video and I have the CD of the soundtrack, but it's not on the CD and I don't recall hearing it in the video. My memory isn't what it used to be, though.
Actually I was commenting on the Playing For Change version of "The Weight" and don't know how I landed on this page
Hope that clears up any confusion.
@@donweimer9264 Ah, that makes more sense. In that case, I agree with your comment about "The Weight". 🙂
Notice...there is not one instrument overwhelming another instrument; all in perfect harmony with the singing voices! Bravo!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, this cover of Gimme Shelter is sublime, the best I've ever heard. Ladies, your voices are wonderful. Absolutely fantastic, and how beautiful is Washboard Chaz's smile at the very end? Just gorgeous!
Have to agree ..very difficult to make a classic into another classic
I couldn't agree more.
you all need to find the funkadelic/ruth copeland version before commenting on the best cover version
Yes Allison, you’re right: this is the very best Stones cover ever!
The original studio version is a spine tingler, mainly because of the Merry Clayton voice cracking solo, because this was a beautiful, global cover.
Absolutely stunning. This project is the best thing that has come out of RUclips in a long time.
sscotto84 totally agree
The words I've been searching for since I discovered the performances on this channel. "Absolutely stunning."
What we put into RUclips comes out of RUclips.
Hell yeah…and I’m late to the party !
Not really.
Это правда!!
That intro with the slide and the drums and washboard Chaz is just pure amazing.
This music got me out of seat running for my computer to see who was covering this! just awesome!!
This is what the Internet was invented for. Outstanding.
I am uk
Thank you RUclips---these comments are just a shout away!
I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY PEACE
No, it was invented to make money.
You Nailed It. ! ✌
Why oh why can't we live like this, one world one people. Thank you for posting.
A FANTASTIC version of
one of the best songs ever written
Taj Mahal is absolutely fantastic here
Thank you for this
Absolutely incredible 👏, beautiful 💕,, I hope the Rolling Stones have seen this 👍👍✌❣
For me the best Stones single ever. And waaaw this performance is epic. So so many o/a talents plus, the great Taj Mahal who I loved back in the day. So good to see and listen. We need more initiatives like this. Gives me hope.
I hope one day the rest of the Internet is as amazing as this video.
This song ….
Wonderful to hear this, around the world. And that we all could be the change this world needs.
Solid!!!brothers n sisters ❤peace blessings For all hallelujah
Can’t get enough of this! The Stones would be proud!
I just love this, was in hospital a couple of years back and watched this video all the damn time. Just awesome, great musicians and great vocalists.
I keep revisiting this video, always gives me goosebumps from the fantastic performances. What a groove!
Brilliant. Well done. The camaraderie between musicians the world over is always touching and wonderful to see.
Comme le disait déjà John LENNON dans IMAGINE """" Imagine all the people livin' life in peace """😍😍 Merci JOHN.
The one thing that will unite the human race is music.
Honcho Music is the Universal language. Rhythm is heart beat of life. You do not always have to know the words, you just need to feel the rhythm.
@@brendaswann7292 Subtitles do help.
So TRUE - KISS ARMY. JOIN ONLY ONE ARMY - MUSIC
The powers know this, which is why they’ve spent so much time since first censoring Elvis from the waist down on tv to banning tunes from radio, to putting parental Discretion labels on records to ensuring ‘dumb’ music like mindless pop songs dominate the mainstream. I’ve learnt so much from some of favourite singers and artists. Far more important things than what I learnt in school. The last thing the powers that be want is One Unity Of people.
Fools
I hope the Rolling Stones see this, enjoy it, and give some of their big bucks to the cause. Mick and Keith should be so proud of their song and its message.
What's really cool is that Keith Richards has already participated in a Song Around the World: ruclips.net/video/biGm7nUgisA/видео.html
The best version ever in my 81 and a likkle bit years opinion. Cant stop playing it. Some music needs to be played to perfection by all of the musicians involved and this does that. Brilliant!
And THIS is why Keith Richards should be remembered.
Keith Richards isn't dead
@@7223adobe ....Yes! Keef will never die!...:).....
@@7223adobe My personal congrats to his 77th birthday in december last year: "Ramon plays Keith Richards: Wicked As It Seems" ruclips.net/video/zrjb6uBUWlY/видео.html
@@7223adobehe will someday.
He'll remember us. :)
HELL OF A SOUND - HELL OF AN ARRANGEMENT -LOVE IT!
j'ai acheté le vinyl en 69 quand il est sorti - chanson sublime - mais cette version c'est tout simlement extra !!!!!!!!
I've said it before - give two people from anywhere on Earth a couple of sticks and in moments, they can be making music - together. It's the most perfect language.
Ms. Roselyn Williams is particularly spectacular on this. Hats off to everyone recorded, recording and mixing. Love your music and art.
Dette rer fantastisk bra og herigt å lytte til
The Stones were maybe at their peak as a badass rhythm on Let It Bleed.
But the groove happening on this arrangement is, like, wow . . .
Next level stuff.
Just found this gem.
FANtastic
Oh glencchapin I was dancing (if you call what I did was dancing) when the song was brand new. And yes, the idea we still need songs like this, does break my heart.
I'm a guitarist / singer and I have to say my favorite contribution here comes from Washboard Chaz. He glues the whole thing together.
This is a great cover. Taj Mahal, what a voice !!!!!
How refreshing..when’s the last time we heard such professional work from young people enjoying themselves..🇨🇦 ..
This music, the people, how they bless all of us with their talent. I’m overwhelmed.
💙💙💙 The Rolling Stones must be immensely proud of this. Love that bit from Taj Mahal 💙
That was absolutely amazing! And so entertaining!
Still listening 2023. Still gives me chills. 💕
You give me hope that there is hope for the humanity after all. Thank you for existing.
Songs and sounds fill our hearts and our emotions soar , all because Jehovah made us to love music, hallelujah, praise Jah
Proof positive that music is indeed a universal language that well all speak with equal fluency. Simply beautiful stuff!
“Let’s give some love away.” Chilling. And magnificent. ❤
Mahalo a thousand times for this video! I am absolutely love it!! Hugs and kisses to all!! Live the aloha!!
FANTASTIC! Gimme Shelter | Playing for Change - EXCELLENT Production!
Je connais la version originale des Stones mais celle-ci est superbe ! Merci à vous tous pour cette merveilleuse reprise ❤❤❤
Thank you playing for change, the lyric change was perfect Just what I needed❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I was lucky enough to attend a filming of playing for change with Toots and the maytals in Los Angeles
RIP Fredrick "Toots" Hibbert
These videos and performers are magnificent!!! They should be an inspiration to the whole world. Let us learn to play nice together.
Check the version of When The Levee Breaks, it's magnificent
@@LeTrashPanda Yes, I have seen it!!!
It was just a few days ago when a friend of mine sent that particular video to me and now I am hooked on the channel. Thank you. Now stay out of my garbage cans!!!! :)
@@LeTrashPanda That was the first one I had seen...It was just a few days ago when a buddy of mine sent it to me...I had never seen anything produced on that channel up until then. Now I'm hooked...And ya know, in these times, why can't people see that something is seriously wrong when neighbors fight but people from different continents can play one song in harmony...PS I did see Zeppelin twice in my day, I was a big fan.
@@LeTrashPanda, u right!
AMEN Brother
I was overwhelmed at the beauty and soul of this piece! I grew up with this music, my father would listen to it. The artists playing it now, from all over this world, have brought tears to my eyes, a smile to my lips, and the joy of memories to my heart. Thank you!
I complely agree with mira lee,i could'nt have said it better
I could listen to those three ladies sing the freaking phone book !!!!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing voices.
If possible tell Roselyn Williams that she did an awesome job on this and has been an inspiration. Her singing really has me fired up to want to jump in and sing along with all my heart and soul.
Well said my friend, she did the same for me too!
Mystic Dreamer roselyn Williams is awsome
Her voice is a hidden gem, full of power and emotion. Doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous, too.
This is pure soul!
She knocked it out of the park!
If you dislike this you are not human.Amazing. In the end all that matters is love and piece,not who has the most land or money.
Music, the true international language and a bridge to mutual understanding and respect.
Thank you, lets give some love away!
I've always felt Utube is a great learning tool, but this takes it to the top, awesome!! Think you, who ever you are !!
If this does not move your soul I don't think anything will thanks so much for the insight I'm 65 years old still sounds good
I can't believe it took me until 2021 to find this! This version brough chills to me but reading the comments while listening to it brought tears to me. This is simply amazing.
Thank you sweetheart and the music 😊
Talented people everywhere around the world !
Thank you Playing For Change for sharing this amazing Talents with us !
One Nation !
I just discovered this video and can't stop watching it. These comments may be years old but I agree!! Better than the original. Roslyn, I'm mesmerized. All the musicians are great!!! ❤
So poignant right now, spine chilling, thanx pfc
I'm having so much fun drumming along to this in the Covid lockdown in Boulder, Colorado. what a TREAT this is. whoever put this together is an AMAZING genius. What a gift. Music is such a gift.
This is the humanity I wont. My eyes are full of tears. Thanks a lot from Italy
Isn't it fantastic? I sing and dance to this at least once a week.
So very true. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and everyone in 2021. Love from Caliifornia.
Sweet mercy.
This is my go-to so far.
The level of talent here can't be contained!
War, Children... it's just a shot away.
Love, Children... it's just a kiss away.
Kiss away.
So beautiful. Really hit me when Mr.Mahal started singing.
OH MY GOD! THIS JUST ELECTRIFIED MY SOUL BRILLIANT JUST BRILLIANT ! TRULY MOVING !
But did you like it?
Excellent !! - Roselyn Williams should be on tour with Mick.
My hats off to the editors of this video! Great production along with a great musical performance!!
