This is a TV show and probably they’re miming. When the song was first recorded, Mick Taylor didn’t play with the Stones yet; Richards had to write and play all the guitar parts for the absence of Jones and maybe that’s why we can hardly see him on this footage
Was just think about where it ranks. What's going on (Marvin Gaye) is number 1. Gimme Shelter is definitely top 10. No shame in that. Amazing, amazing, amazing song!
En 69, j'avais 11 ans, Je suis tombé sur brown sugar. Il y avait une vieille gratte délabrée à la maison, j'ai commencé la dessus. Non stop. J'ai tous les disques et même de rares import. Vraiment un groupe fabuleux
Mick looks so cool with that outfit just boppin and rocking to Keith and the boys. The Stones just the way they should be enjoyed...Live and Dangerous. Love It Glenn Augustyn
for me personally this is the absolute 100% essence of coolnes. its this mix of their badass aura, masculinity and this kind of inviolability. as if they were bragging about every single cell of their body. look at me I am the king. I love it so much. this is btw my very favorite version of the song
+pup lover Haha..it's almost like he tricked the camera into going slow mo at the very moment. He was definitely out of this world for that moment in time.
It is difficult to pick just 1 favourite Rolling Stones song. They have so many flavours. However, this track is haunting, and gets turned up every time it comes on the radio.
A great friend said they played this song when they blacked out in a Herk, crossin the fence goin into Afghanistan, droppin in low level. Gives me chills now. Apparently it was Johns idea. Love that.
Missing Merry Clayton. Still a good video. Love the way Charlie Watts is so laid back, he lets everybody do their drama and flash on stage. And he just sits there behind the drums with that little smile.
He wants ALL the attention. Great scene from Altamont with one of the Hell's Angels looking at him at waving his arms around like a drunkin chicken. "Hey EVERYBODY look at me"
Best Stones line-up Jagger/Richards/Taylor/Wyman/Watts.....Taylor by far was the best Stones guitarist. His hair, his Les Paul, his general look and the sheer period of contribution to the Stones smokes Wood everytime and every day of the week.
No doubt Isabella Mick is the greatest Rock Showman and the songs he and Keith were writing were powerful. They were really at the height of their powers recording wise and studio wise too. I love this music it is TIMELESS Glenn Augustyn
Great video. Sounds like a primarily live recording. No backup singers. But the harmonica playing sounds clearly Mick while he’s dancing in the video. And while Keith plays one of his iconic solos, the camera lingers on everyone but him. No shots of Keith’s hands on the guitar. Like the Ya Ya’s videos an irretrievable loss of watching Keith play what no one has played better since.
The organized chaos of this song, the edge of cacophony, that all keeps the time, it is as if we suddenly feel the war burning toward our door. All those people in history who needed shelter from the bombs and still do... they captured it.
Brain's brain=Brain Jones (once upon a time in England in 60's) formed at first & named this band (like the leader that he was) like..The Rolling Stones...Glory to you Brian..RIP
This is the best song ever written in a time when life was just a shot away in more ways than one.And I was lucky enought to have been there and made it through.
Mick looks like an old catchers mitt, but he can still move like no other 78yo. Good genes. His dad lived to way into his 90s. Keith's looks? Let's not go there. But he too can still play with those old knobby fingers. Amazing.
GIMME SHELTER pas seulement une chanson un hymne pour toute une génération - Toujours impressionnée par la puissance vocale de jagger et ce jeune Mick Taylor à l'époque un super guitariste - RIP CHARLIE et Brian Jones - les stones the best
her vocal performance provide an edge that gives the song some credibility and captures the ethos of those chaotic days. I understand she miscarried around the time she made the recording. That's hard.
Her voice was definitely the hook of that song, but---because of Mick Jagger's star power on full display here---I didn't miss it until AFTER the performance.
black sabbath, rolling stones, the Beatles, just to name a few but there are many more. The time when music still had real soul (not sure if you know what I mean) something that has become rather a rare occurance nowadays.
i dont agree. Take in count that i love all the bands you named, but i think that before the 60s there were a lot of musicians that gave us all of their heart as well.

Sonically, there’s no song in history that touches Gimme Shelter. So ahead of it’s time.
so true no one is cooler and no one moves like Jagger......thumbs up if you agree
Jagger is the only one to be live here, as often the band recorded the soundtrack before.
Theirs a spirit working within Mick in this performance , I think perhaps every beat at the tempo raises a clear touch of Devine inner being
Taylor and Wyman look like they are having a great time here. Usually don't see them smile like this on stage...wonderful
3:19
and Charlie...
They are smiling because it is fake.
This is a TV show and probably they’re miming. When the song was first recorded, Mick Taylor didn’t play with the Stones yet; Richards had to write and play all the guitar parts for the absence of Jones and maybe that’s why we can hardly see him on this footage
Never should have let MICK TAYLOR get away.
One of the greatest & under-rated blues guitarists in the world.
He is brilliant, the best years when he was in the band.
Oh yes !!!
He walked out of them I think. Couldn't handle the lifestyle
He's a brilliant guitarist, but Keith played ALL the guitar parts on this track!
He didn't play on this track, but nice flex.
Back when The Rolling Stones had one of the best guitarist,.. Mick Taylor!
How many lead singers bring this kind of energy to the front stage anymore!?!? It's amazing!
And still doing it in 2022!
Mike and I ..
I’ve heard it’s because the cocaine wasn’t as pure as it was back then
@@live_wire14 The Chinese cant even makes drugs right!
The Rolling Stones in their bare bones, so much rawness and attitude in this version.
Not a huge Stones fan but this song is amazing. Any man who can write a tune like this needs to be remembered forever.
And you're lame if you're not a huge Stones fan.
@@fuchsiaswing8545It’s his opinion, relax.
@@spartyontop It's a bad opinion.
@@fuchsiaswing8545don’t have to be fully into a band to like some of their songs, it’s cool he’s good taste in music ✌🏼
And you're an a-hole. And I'm one of the biggest stone's fan. What is your problem... Wait. I don't give a flying F tbh. @@fuchsiaswing8545
Mick Taylor smiling. And Charlie Watts... thank you and rest in peace.
RIP CHARLIE WATTS & THE ROLLING STONES, THE GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND EVER!!!!!
Fact
He was so young, taken too soon
they stopped being a rock and roll band & became a corporation when they kicked out Brian, truth hurts, show some respect to Jones
You got that right🙌🏾💯🔥
Arguably but fuck it. Ur right
No other song has ever summed up dark tumultuous times like this one, still completely relevant
i like the female vocal on the other version, but i really like this version with the guitar levels, perfect ,,,,hate the video eddit
And nobody is doing anything about it. CCP overthrow.
Hey, hippiecheez, I think I remember seeing you on a Funkadelic video 😎
Mah fav band
1969 was completely different from 2020 what are you talking about?
@@adrianpierce3047 the guitar is literally dubbed from the audio version
The greatest song in the history of rock n roll music. Scorcese used it in at least 3 of his films.❤
Was just think about where it ranks. What's going on (Marvin Gaye) is number 1. Gimme Shelter is definitely top 10. No shame in that. Amazing, amazing, amazing song!
Shows why Keith is such a superb lead guitarist--peerless--less is more--also jagger at his very best--wonderful stuff.
LOL .. I love keef but this song live belongs to Mick Taylor .. and his amazing playing is absent in this performance
@@bestbyte1 Mick Taylor doesn't play guitar on this track, it's ALL Keith!
The GREATEST rock song EVER !
En 69, j'avais 11 ans, Je suis tombé sur brown sugar. Il y avait une vieille gratte délabrée à la maison, j'ai commencé la dessus. Non stop. J'ai tous les disques et même de rares import. Vraiment un groupe fabuleux
In the top ten best rock songs ever
Mick looks so cool with that outfit just boppin and rocking to Keith and the boys. The Stones just the way they should be enjoyed...Live and Dangerous. Love It Glenn Augustyn
We saw them in 1972 with this lineup.Mick Taylor was their best guitarist,IMHO.Great version,by the way!
Some songs always sound dated when you hear them. This one is just as relevant now as it was back then. Fookin' Mick, I love the raw sound of this.
Charlie's T-shirt and his smirk at 1: 46 love it! Life-long Stones fan.
One vote for the best live version on RUclips. And no one can beat Bill Wyman's bass line. Seriously it's what makes this song so great.
I can’t hear any bass line. And neither can you.
@@stanmonzon5788 I can hear the bass line. But you can't.
Menacing is the right word for them bass
Live-ish.
for me personally this is the absolute 100% essence of coolnes. its this mix of their badass aura, masculinity and this kind of inviolability. as if they were bragging about every single cell of their body. look at me I am the king. I love it so much. this is btw my very favorite version of the song
What on EARTH is cooler than Mick's ascension to the mic at minute 2:56. Good Lord!
i noticed that too ! like damn he was in a whole different sphere
TroyboyTv Ha, good way of describing that!
+pup lover
Haha..it's almost like he tricked the camera into going slow mo at the very moment. He was definitely out of this world for that moment in time.
mick,s singing and dance moves were the best between 1969 and 1974
Just about anything you can think of is quite a lot cooler that that.
It is difficult to pick just 1 favourite Rolling Stones song. They have so many flavours. However, this track is haunting, and gets turned up every time it comes on the radio.
War, Children, It's just a shot away. Love, sister it's just a kiss away! RIP Charlie!
A great friend said they played this song when they blacked out in a Herk, crossin the fence goin into Afghanistan, droppin in low level. Gives me chills now. Apparently it was Johns idea. Love that.
This song along with All Along The Watchtower by Hendrix heralded the end of the Hippie Love movement. 😔. ❤️
Missing Merry Clayton. Still a good video. Love the way Charlie Watts is so laid back, he lets everybody do their drama and flash on stage. And he just sits there behind the drums with that little smile.
Masterpiece!!!❤
This is by far, the coolest intro in rock 🎸
Mick always brought the energy. Just completely owns the stage.
He wants ALL the attention. Great scene from Altamont with one of the Hell's Angels looking at him at waving his arms around like a drunkin chicken. "Hey EVERYBODY look at me"
One of the greatest songs of all time.
this beautiful masterpiece blows my mindd,never tired of listeninig this fucking great song
That big smile on Mick Taylors face says it all. Stones!
I like to close my eyes when I listen to this too Charley. . Miss you 😔
I like to think of this as 'emulated American music'. It was so good only history will judge it harshly.
It’s cool to see Mick Taylor smile...
Best Stones line-up Jagger/Richards/Taylor/Wyman/Watts.....Taylor by far was the best Stones guitarist. His hair, his Les Paul, his general look and the sheer period of contribution to the Stones smokes Wood everytime and every day of the week.
He didn’t play on this song tho
Yes, Taylor joined the Stones few months later.
@@Bklyn93 Mick Taylor never played this on the studio track, but tears it up on the many RUclips concert videos that you see here on RUclips
I saw the Stones during that time and many times since. The band was the music, Mick was the show!❤️
1969 and the song could easily pass for being brand new in 2021. The Stones are immortal.
No artist today could ever write a song like this
For the Stones the late 60s were explosive, ahead of time with great rock!This Song is the Best!
***** Nice Weekend:)
My personal fave on Exile is Ventilator Blues...
unreal
No doubt Isabella Mick is the greatest Rock Showman and the songs he and Keith were writing were powerful. They were really at the height of their powers recording wise and studio wise too. I love this music it is TIMELESS Glenn Augustyn
jimmy miller was the best thing to ever happen to them in 68
We will never have music this good again. Thank God I was there (not for this performance obviously).
Best Rolling Stones Ever ❤
This is the BEST version,...The Stones l love em Unique... Everthing they compose is Brilliant..Timeless
Version? This is pantomime, the only actually live part of the song is the vocals.
Yeah "Version" meaning without the Women Singers,Not a "LipSink" top of pops type
Sounds like me when I spank off
I was lucky to see these guys ..it's off the bucket list
This was the best Stones line up......Mick Taylor was only 20 then.....Wow !
Great video. Sounds like a primarily live recording. No backup singers. But the harmonica playing sounds clearly Mick while he’s dancing in the video. And while Keith plays one of his iconic solos, the camera lingers on everyone but him. No shots of Keith’s hands on the guitar. Like the Ya Ya’s videos an irretrievable loss of watching Keith play what no one has played better since.
Greatest band 4 ever.
Hands down, my fav song of all time. Damn! born 25 years too late. Miss the time when such things were happening.
There will Never be another band even similar to the Stones. So unbelievably unique. Amazing.
Thank you Charlie, thank you!
mick taylor has the sweetest smile!! such a rare treat :)
What a fucken devil driven insane genius guitar intro
Class this 😊😊. What a tune 😊. The 60s must have been amazing 😊.
What a great version. Thanks so much for posting.
Fantastic. Timeless
Im 38... this was my dads era, he was 20 when this was released, triumph tiger 100... no helmet ... festivals ... living his life. Im very envious 😂
Fantastic. I didn't think this could be done w/o the backing vocal but it is just as powerful.
The organized chaos of this song, the edge of cacophony, that all keeps the time, it is as if we suddenly feel the war burning toward our door. All those people in history who needed shelter from the bombs and still do... they captured it.
Hands down the greatest rock n roll song ever.
51 years later and still the best rift ever by the best band ever 🎼🇬🇧👍😊
The Stones at their absolute peak, with an elegy for Sixties innocence that's as relevant as ever today.
Great years to be alive! Nearing the end of the 70s is when I began my love relationship with ROCK at its finest! 💯
The stones at the top of their game!
One of the Stones greatest songs for sure!
Mick Taylor's smile at 0:26 speaks volumes.
stoned to the bone
Epitome of rock song right here!!
RIP CHARLIE WATTS U BEAUTIFUL MAN REST EASY UP THERE!
love this song no matter what version they play
Brain's brain=Brain Jones (once upon a time in England in 60's) formed at first & named this band (like the leader that he was) like..The Rolling Stones...Glory to you Brian..RIP
As good as it gets. This song chills the blood, freezes the mind.. gimme shelter .
This is the best song ever written in a time when life was just a shot away in more ways than one.And I was lucky enought to have been there and made it through.
Best thing the Stones ever did. It's Merry Clayton's voice that provides the chills in the spine though.
When I was a kid I love the Beatles. Stones good. Then I saw them live. Mick is the greatest Rock and Roller.
So young, that's how I remembered them💖💖💖💖💖
Mick looks like an old catchers mitt, but he can still move like no other 78yo. Good genes. His dad lived to way into his 90s. Keith's looks? Let's not go there. But he too can still play with those old knobby fingers. Amazing.
Charlie and Keith...perfection!
this is awesome. this performance was a big stepping stone for this song.
GIMME SHELTER pas seulement une chanson un hymne pour toute une génération - Toujours impressionnée par la puissance vocale de jagger et ce jeune Mick Taylor à l'époque un super guitariste - RIP CHARLIE et Brian Jones - les stones the best
The eternal Anthem!Stones rules
Love the way Mick performs. He just let's go with no care. Love this video
probably the best song of this century, it was all downhill from here
Mick is so on, goofed to the eyeballs. It's real 70 s magic. Raw and real.......
60s magic baby
This takes me back to Saint Petersburg Florida.
That introduction.!..the best ever Stones line up.
3:15 Taylor just realized,he joined the greatest band in the history of this planet °☆
And made them much much better at the same time!
Taylor had nothing to do with this song or the let it bleed album!
@@pedrolourenco1606 🤔
He’s so underrated and not nearly talked about enough!!
@@pedrolourenco1606 Mick Taylor never played this on the studio track, but tears it up on the many RUclips concert videos that you see here on RUclips
Awesome! If Merry Clayton had been there to lend her soaring vocals to this it would have been perfect!
her vocal performance provide an edge that gives the song some credibility and captures the ethos of those chaotic days. I understand she miscarried around the time she made the recording. That's hard.
Her voice was definitely the hook of that song, but---because of Mick Jagger's star power on full display here---I didn't miss it until AFTER the performance.

iv seen a ton of music videos of the greatest rock and roll band in the world but this one i love the most.
Gimme Shelter is just the song I put on top of my list of all the RNR songs I love. Stones at their best, best song ever...
black sabbath, rolling stones, the Beatles, just to name a few but there are many more. The time when music still had real soul (not sure if you know what I mean) something that has become rather a rare occurance nowadays.
the doors ahh so many
rare? i've never seen it at all.
i dont agree. Take in count that i love all the bands you named, but i think that before the 60s there were a lot of musicians that gave us all of their heart as well.
Tom Rath Amen brother!!
Points
little Mick was so adorable
This music is so great, and the flood of memories that come back to me are so crisp...damn, it leaves me with a lump in my throat.
this is the best video for this song. this is real. my favorite song by them.
Omg how many great songs have the stones recorded ..still be played in 50 years time I bet !!!!!!!
This song is a Masterpiece. ☝🏻🎤💋
Fantastic. Iconic. Unforgettable.
Mick tears a hole in this performance, great job.
@ 3:21 Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman BOTH SMILING!!!!!
Charlie's best groove in my opinion. RIP
THIS was when The Stones were The Stones !
