Not a huge Stones fan but this song is amazing. Any man who can write a tune like this needs to be remembered forever.
This was 55 years ago. Mick and Keith are still at it. Incredible.
Sonically, there’s no song in history that touches Gimme Shelter. So ahead of it’s time.
Never should have let MICK TAYLOR get away.
One of the greatest & under-rated blues guitarists in the world.
Taylor and Wyman look like they are having a great time here. Usually don't see them smile like this on stage...wonderful
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
Mick Taylor's all, I got the best gig, mate!
Keith's guitar solo is fuckin' cool!!!
Mick Taylor looks sooo HAPPY here! Nice to see.

so true no one is cooler and no one moves like Jagger......thumbs up if you agree
The Rolling Stones in their bare bones, so much rawness and attitude in this version.
The GREATEST rock song EVER !
How many lead singers bring this kind of energy to the front stage anymore!?!? It's amazing!
In the top ten best rock songs ever
RIP CHARLIE WATTS & THE ROLLING STONES, THE GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND EVER!!!!!
Back when The Rolling Stones had one of the best guitarist,.. Mick Taylor!
No other song has ever summed up dark tumultuous times like this one, still completely relevant
Mick Taylor smiling. And Charlie Watts... thank you and rest in peace.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
