Greeeat Merry Clayton on lead and backing vocals.....legendary !!!.
From KIndergarten to my graduation from Vietnam stood as a spector waiting for my turn to be shoved into the mix. A war that was helping no one and consuming yet another generation. This song spoke to those of us knowing our draft cards were on their way, it spoke to those fighting for survival in the jungles, to a nation with campuses burning in protest. It was like our entire lives were on fire and this song captures the flavor of the day very well!
😢so very sad
When Merry Clayton does her solo and her voice cracks you can hear Mick in the background going whoa because he loved what he heard. Back in the day during recording that was left in whereas today they would stop the recording and retake because of the crack in her voice and Mick saying whoa. Things are so different from 50 years ago to now
The crack in her voice is what makes it iconic.
Such a great song. When it came out around 1969 times were insane. Around that time we were sent home from school for riots going on. Kent State shootings around 1970. I love this song. Saw them in June of 75 and they played and I had goose bumps.
I have been listening to the Stones since the 60s. It is always nice to see younger people appreciate the music I grew up on.
If you are not aware of the worst mankind is capable of, you can't really appreciate the best mankind is capable of.
September 14, 1989, 35 years ago I finally got to see them live on their Steel Wheels tour, pouring rain but worth every minute.
That's so funny! The first time I heard this song was on rock band! Or maybe it was guitar hero, can't remember. I want to play that game again so bad, but they don't make the guitars anymore
Very serious times, war, draft, watergate, Ohio shooting, on and on. Just intense!
My brother was attending Kent State when the shooting occurred. Scary times
love this song....I live down the road from Muscle Shoals Alabama where this was recorded. This is the melting pot of so much music in modern history. Research this one, great story of how it was recorded.
May 1983, I had been in all the music classes- choir and band and orchestra but i was sheltered from life. I spent the night before high school graduation listening to all the Rolling stones albums on LP at a dear friends place because she introduced me to them, Always learn from your friends because they bring passion and love . I had always thought the Stones were just another band, but that night I learned that the radio played stuff was just the tip of the iceberg and the deep cuts were full of soul and now when anyone asks if I am Beetles or Elvis - my reply is Stones. I know you will know what I mean to say here.
For US history read Bury my heart at wounded knee. I enjoyed this reaction
I was 15 years old when this song was first played on the radio ('69) and the music alone puts you in a trance. Then you add the vocals and focus on the words and it had a power that resonates just as well today. Vietnam was on the news every night and the human cost was broadcast daily. The Rolling Stones have brought us psychedelic and thought provoking songs for seven decades now. Amazing. Check out Edwin Stars' song: "War" which came out in '69 also. I am so blessed to have been raised with such impactful music which was born out of those times, reflecting what was going on and what we were feeling.
The Greatest Rock and Roll band in the world The Rolling Stones!!!!
This song was used in Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed
Next must be "Sympathy for the Devil". A history lesson.
So perfect for today. The war in the Middle East and the hurricane affecting so many. Go be good to your family and know you are loved. ❤️
So true, so true, so true.
Scorsese was a huge Stones fan! He was quoted as saying that his films would be unthinkable without them! He said that whatever he did with movies began by listening to the Stones. ❤
0:20 The timing is important here, because I’m literally 20 seconds in and 🤯. Have you really not heard the Stones before?! So this is why I like your channel. The opportunity to watch someone hear this for the first time. That’s absolute gold!
I want to say the Voodoo Lounge version is my favorite but as I recall Bridges to Babylon was great too. I will have to go back and watch them both again
Great reaction.
As Todd Snider says in the live version of his song “This Land Is Our Land”, either we can love each other or we can’t love each other.
The fabulous woman vocalist on this , Merry Clayton, suffered a miscarriage the day after recording this with them the night before. Did she give so much to it that it happened or did the message of it make the fetus think “oh no. Not coming into that world” ???
There are clips from the documentary "20 Feet From Stardom" out there that have Merry's vocals isolated. So powerful and hauntingly beautiful.
These lyrics are as timeless as man's greed and insecurities are.
For more back ground on this song...check out The Professor of Rock who does a deep dive on when and how this was recorded. No geeky stuff. Its all human stories...of note is Merry Clayton's contribution.
You rock. Glad you are here. Happy you have become an American. Peace.
Also, my way into The Stones was “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”. Astonishing song.
Scorsese directed a Stones concert movie called "Shine A Light".
The Vietnam War was a huge watershed moment for this country. The year 1968 was the absolute turning point for culture, political violence, assassinations, racial tensions, social and sexual norms and the music of the day reflects all of that. As you learn more about your new country, (glad you're here), I hope you someday have the time to watch Documentaries by Ken Burns that explain and help understand how we evolved to where we are today. The first is about the Second World War and then Vietnam War. They are multi part series That examine every aspect of the wars using archive footage, interviews with those in the wars and their families here at home. Both series examine little known facts that most natural born citizens probably don't know but they are award winning and masterful pieces of facts we all should know. The Vietnam documentary uses music of the day that reflects the massive upheaval and changes on very personal and emotional levels. I hope you put both Burns series on your "must watch" list when you have the time and interest to devote to truly understand why America has evolved as it has in the last 80 years.
Think about it... this is the opening track of the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed. The more times change the more they stay the same.
There were a lot of bad things going on during the time of Gimme Shelter, more than just Viet Nam and this has always seemed to me to be about all of them at the same time. Especially in hindsight. In 1969 when this song was still a huge hit and the Stones were on a US tour they had a stop at Altamont Speedway in California where some production "genius" decided that since the Stones were going to be there it would be cool to have the Hells Angels along to provide some security. The results were disastrous. A documentary came out in 1970, also called Gimme Shelter and after seeing that it seemed clear to me that this film represents the song better than anything else. Highly recommend you seek it out and watch it if you want to get the maximum feel for the song. I would say that this is my favorite Stones' song btw, but it's actually tied with about a dozen others.
A beautiful song. John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin worked on a few Stones songs.
Merry Clayton, who sings backup vocals on this track was eight months pregnant when they recorded this. She had a miscarriage the next day and for many years couldn't listen to this song.
I'm surprised I got through so many comments before I saw someone mention this.
JFK admitted we couldn't win in Vietnam. He also said that if he pulled the troops out, he wouldn't get reelected. How many young men died?
Hey, Hey, LBJ, How many kids did you kill today?

the movie was amazing. "gimme shelter" by brendan frasier
Even I know this song and I certainly don't consider myself a Stones fan. There is so much music out there in general that it's easy to miss things. A lot of it is just that you'll never be exposed to it. I'd love to introduce you to the goth/industrial world.
The bands from the old days were story tellers.
The only other place I've heard English like yours is my home in Canada. I think you're either from here or you are really quick, and good at picking it up.
Japan has never acknowledged or apologized what they did in China. Brothers in Arms by Mark Knopfler pretty much says it all.
You need to watch the documentary movie of the same name which chronicles the lead up to and performance at Altamont which signaled the end of the Woodstock era a scant 6 months later.❤🎉
great reaction...
Think it was in The Departed
Also Goodfellas and Casino
You think it's heavy today, this came out when a lot of our friends were going off to die for Sun Oil.
we tried in the 1950s 1960s and 1970s I saw many Vietnam soldiers doing drugs when they got back. war does horrible things to everyone even the ones that want wars
drove thru Croatia and saw all the homes with huge holes in them when Yugoslavia was having its war and even went in a bar and had soldiers there still suffering mentally and even five towns leveled by the nazi armies. we think of now but wars have been always and every human has either been thru one or been slaves.

There are so many live videos you could have used that would have brought out so much more....
This song was written about Anita Pallenberg (died in 2017) A gorgeous model, actress that was first Brian Jones g/f, then Keith Richards g/f for years (they had 2 kids together) She had a fling with Mick during the making of a movie they were both in in the 60's. "You can't always get what you want" is also written about her. Mick wrote that when he couldn't get her away from Keith. She was quite a muse to that band back in the day.
This wasn’t about the Vietnam War?
Dude, that wasn't written about a woman. Really?
Yes, it was. As well as the violence, ie riots etc@@matthewbergey7153
@@James-dh6ldthis song isn't about a woman, it's about Viet Nam etc, but you can't always get what you want was about a woman
Yes, it was written about the war and violence of the time. @@matthewbergey7153
Interesting that war has increased in recent years…
Dude, what are you drinking ?
America #1 Congratulations on citizenship Sebs!
