This man is a smart performer. He knows that the song is about more than just the singer, so he lets his band and back up singers have their moment rather than just make it all about himself. I respect that

[@johnricercato740]

Very perceptive comment, thanks.

[@nikelegend77]

look up who sings "back up" in the original and youll understand why lol theres a relatively recent doc about back up singers. cant remember the name of it but it is fascinating.

[@jonBaloy]

dude, that's how bands work smh

[@MesaTheinsane]

you mean he is copying exactly what hozier does? yeah you're right lol

[@MKECBS1]

Probably the best piece of guitar you will see in the radio one live lounge for a long time. Which is deeply depressing.

[@chloemcneill2151]

Gimme shelter is without a doubt my favourite song ever written, and this man done it his own way and I appreciate that!

[@garyorourke5503]

My all time favourite song too .. I agree this is a great cover 👌

[@oldwelshlady6584]

[@robertdegrazia9668]

I agree 100 % with you !!!

[@rdrrr]

Between 1968 and 1972 the Stones were the best rock n roll band in the world. Beggar's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St. Four _perfect_ albums. Wow!

[@71Wraith]

This song will never lose its relevance and should be sung by every generation

[@razorsharpe3371]

Absolute truth in that!

[@sambrooks7862]

Very relevant right now.

[@MJMS88]

The original by T.R.S has been my alarm tone for the last decade. The song will never get old will be sung by countless generations and I can't wait for the day that I can go back in time and actually watch the song being created.

[@elizabethbrown8833]

Youre right. Especially with what's happening now 🌏💔🙏

[@georgebennett3197]

I'm a 67 year London boy who grew up listening to and seeing the Stones. I love every note of this cover.

[@gregorymega5538]

Ah ah no it really sucks!

[@seldasorf9583]

everything's much to like here: sistas, brothers, arrangement, sound

[@jobless_wullie]

@@gregorymega5538 I agree its shite

[@cameronpful]

Great cover,matches the original. Vocals and guitar brilliant

[@rararasputin8608]

There's a bit more of a gospel-like vibe to this, quite strange compared to the psychodelic air of the original.

[@ewancarter3348]

Guitarist is Matt Allen for anyone who is wondering

[@malad1]

I wasn't. (Joking)

[@ChrizRockster]

The other guitarist is Richard Hughes (www.richhughesguitar.com/)

[@sharoncoker9006]

Man that guy can play and the drummer is great

[@johnstampton2434]

I find myself coming back to hear this occassionally, powerful every time

[@lorealmadonnamoore9828]

I think this is the only live performance I would actually pay a lot of money for and be stoked to see! His voice has so much soul and feeling it does something to me! 😌

[@iainawilson]

The power of music - when it makes you think of and remember those you've lost. My Dad would have absolutely *loved* this.

[@moniqueduffy625]

I grew up listening to The Rolling Stones records that my Dad owned. And when he died, my siblings & I carried on his love of the Stones as we grew up. I too think our Dad would’ve loved this cover. What a mix of blues, soul and Stones 👌🏼

[@TheSilvercue]

One of the greatest songs of all time. Covered so many times, but deserves respect when it is covered and this version gives it the respect it deserves.

[@VictorKellar]

One of my very fave Stones song and this is just perfection. Everything works here: arrangement, playing, chorus and of course that mammoth voice. Wow

[@antonoat]

Professional grade musicians sounding epic, Rory doesn't know any other way, masterclass! Loved it.

[@CharleyPangus]

What a voice holy shit!!!!! 🙌🏻

[@survivorea]

powerfull voice black . Very very very nice

[@mounthydra]

I love every nanosecond of this. Powerful voice, incredible performance from the entire band.

[@ianaldridge4778]

I,m a stones fan.I,ve never heard this before.I take my hat off to you rag and bone man what a performance a masterpiece.

[@peggles727]

Love watching him perform live! You can tell music is more than just a job to him, it's a passion and he puts his all into it.

[@aprils6589]

The Live Lounge Allstars - 'Times Like These' video brought me here. His short addition to the vid impressed me so much. What a voice! I'm definitely a fan.

[@stoob7272]

At first, I was questioning the slow/chill vibe of this and questioning if it would do the original justice.... WOW! I was blown away! His voice is amazing and the transition into the guitar was ELECTRIC! These guys killed it!

[@priscillaloerwald2616]

DAMN !!! I love this rendition...always loved The Stones & this is one of my favs, now i'm adding this one to my collection. Thx R&B Man...great talent, great style, great rhythm, great choice, great skill, great gift.

[@HonestlyCarolynMarie]

WOW. This cover is seriously 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I love how it started kinda chill and almost somber but then it built up and the guitar had its moment! Ugh I would buy this cover if it was on iTunes in a HEARTBEAT!!!

[@jamesbowden6717]

praying for a live lounge 50 years album, far too many decent covers this year!

[@suzyb9368]

So perfect! Vocals/🎸and musicilaty/harmony is pure eyes wide shut🙏

[@tatertotlvr]

had the absolute privileged of seeing this man in Detroit this past summer...can tell you hes just as awesome live as he is in the studio....hope to see him again!!!!

[@DarrenCampbellmusic]

This is absolutely brilliant! His voice is perfect for this song

[@umutdenizcimen6448]

This is one of the best covers i've ever heard. Brilliant singing by Rag'N'Bone Man and backvocals. That Guitarist fucking killed it . and the bass player and everybody ... Amazing job everyone !! Beautiful music ! Stones would be proud .

The same here. His voice is powerful 😊

[@Vaios1981]

i swear to god i never get tired of this no matter how many times i come back and watch it.

[@gcmotorman6379]

The lead guitar work is astounding

[@TheDellaniOakes]

WOW! I've loved this song forever, but he just gave it even MORE!

[@ChrizRockster]

A cover done with respect, to be honest I think he belongs in this domain more than the commercial pop industry. His voice hugs those notes like it belongs there permanently. Quality artist.

[@philmulrooney7020]

Every aspect utterly brilliant, real talent shines throughout the generations👌✊🏻😎

[@goulio3679]

honestly i don't think i have ever heard a cover of this song actually being worthy...until now

[@leonweissensteiner4961]

The one by stone sour off the burbank ep thing ain't bad too

[@paulqueripel3493]

Try the one by the original backing singer, Merry Clayton.

[@SkodenSonofStoodis]

I like Puddle of Mudds cover

[@allanjackson3678]

Watch son of anarchy there version was lit af

[@FeathersT21]

Thunder do a good version

[@Rishi-nv7bp]

This is soo good. Blending the original with his sound so perfectly.

[@liteprotoss]

Wtf this is actually so good. No auto tune, no filter, pure live generated sound and love for music shining out.

[@dizzyfugu]

Great. Not only the voice, but the arrangement does the song modern justice, too. Well done!

[@philcook9714]

Errrr, and this hasn't been released for what reason? This is my favourite Stones track and you have SMASHED it right out of the park. I would buy the 7 inch, CD and Tape single of this. Oh, and the album it's included on - obviously!

[@bradellin1]

This literally gives me chills when I listen to him sing. Hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get that shiver up and down my spine.

[@meismtheism1527]

Frisson. Yes, this cover was superb!

[@goodburger1114]

No you dont

[@buzztone6250]

1.15 in and I've got goosebumps. That tone for this song is perfect.

[@TheSilvercue]

great that this band show their beautifully well presented respect to one of the greatest songs of all time. Well played!

[@nathanwilliamg75]

This guy is just so lovely to listen to. I just love his style. He's cool 😎

[@crzy1gs]

One of the best covers ever. I'd love to hear a 6-7min version live!

[@SerenitySaffron]

Uh, goosebumps. What a voice, what a man. I can't get enough.

[@leahwilson4389]

This is one of my most loved songs & this is the best version ive ever heard... Mad voice 👾🤘

[@tanginuikaponga6260]

Totally love this singer. Amazing singer and love his music.

[@slimjimbaby]

This song is heavier than most know. This song came out before the general public knew of the horrors of Vietnam. The Stones had their fingers on the pulse. Mary Clayton, the female vocalist who sings the high part was confused as to why she was singing “rape, murder.” When reports of Vietnam came out she finally understood

[@jordansmith8710]

Can he please release this? Exactly the way it is played here? Absolutely stunning. Would probably hit number one with the guitar work and his voice. Stunning

[@duggiesmith4043]

The guitarists are phenomenal

[@Timliu92]

My all-time favorite cover of this song! Love how it introduces new vibes to the tune that I would otherwise never thought of. Not to mention the dynamic contrasts were incredible, and do not even get me started with how amazing that guitar solo was!

[@therealdeal4634]

If you are gonna come out and do a classic serve it with some Justice. Well done. This is my kind of approach to this classic. The tone is on point. Gimme more, I need more of that vocal in the live lounge.

[@jimwind7589]

OMG, That could of gone on for another 10 minutes. I saw the comments about the guitar solo and was thinking whats the big deal and then I heard it. Chills. I want an extended version!

[@sarahkuhn566]

I wanna see an entire “acoustic/live” album from him

[@GnFerraz]

OH. MY. GOD. This is definitely the best cover I've ever heard

[@mccarthy1892]

Smashed it.....that guitar solo though! Great cover

[@warrendavies2985]

This is truly phenomenal, I totally love the stones original but this is equally as awesome and always will be, well done mr Rag n Bone Man, id love to see you perform more stuff like this. This shows your true raw talent. Rory forever !!

[@jbdeblanc]

Would love to know who everyone is in the band. The backup singers nailed it, and the lead guitar player and the band tore it up as well. One of the best covers I have seen.

[@andreawilson1810]

Rag n Bone Man rock! I recently "discovered" them and just can't get enough of them! Keep up the awesome music!

Man. that guitar solo! GIVES ME THE SHIVERS

[@JasonCardinal]

its an absolute travesty that this video only has 1.6 million views...one of the best covers ever done...sounds like a studio recording..but its live...that is supreme talent right there, world class. Thanks for recording this even though garbage pop music gets 100x views.
