The original album recording is definitely worth listening to with Merry Clayton who set the bar for anyone singing the female part.

[@victoriataylor6741]

That little 'hitch' in Merry's voice when she sings her solo is everything!

[@SJ-ty5rw]

It's so odd they never toured with her . She was the original after all for the song

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@davescurry69]

@SJ-ty5rw The Stones didn't tour with any backing vocalists until at least the late '80's, twenty years after the song was recorded. Before that it was only a piano, occasional keyboard, sax or a horn section (in 1972) that was added to their tours. Ry Cooder played on a couple of Stones tracks in 1969 as well and he never played live with them either. Plus it wasn't like she was a member of the band or a co-writer on the song or anything, she just sang on the session for the song. I would have been more surprised if she had toured with them, especially back then.

[@keithbate9405]

@@SJ-ty5rw I saw the Stones twice in the 1970's in England. There were no backing vocalists back then.

[@vickirecord5534]

Many great women singers have done this with the Stones over the years, but IMO Lisa is far and away the best. She's awesome.

[@1dkappe]

I kept waiting for Lisa’s voice to break, but she couldn’t manage it.

[@TomReichner]

That girl Lisa is one hell of a singer! I was prepared to be disappointed because Merry's original rendition is so superlative, but I wasn't disappointed at all and I am glad that Lisa brought originality to the part and didn't try to be Merry. In fact, I am so impressed with Lisa's voice and performance that I am going to look her up and see what other music she had done!

[@tkremarkTK]

You want to be blown away, from LIsa, react to "How can I Ease the pain Live in Japan" She will be your all time favorite female vocalist of all time when you hear her sing. No Autotune, period end of sentence. She was a solo artist for a short period of time after singing backup with Tina Turner, Luther Vandross, the Stones, Sting and many others. Then she recorded her debut album and tied for a grammy with Patti Labelle in the early 90s, with the song above I just mentioned. After that she decided to go back to singing background as she was more comfortable with that. Then you must watch the Documentary, "20 Feet from Stardom" It is about the black background singers that gave the flavor to the Rock and Roll music, especially coming out of Britain. The British rock groups loved the Blues that came out of America and tried to imitate it but could not quite get the soul needed so they would hire black backup singers to give them that seasoning. Lisa,, in the documentary, is considered the one who owns that space and can name her price. After the success of the documentary she retired from singing with the stones and now goes on her own solo tours with her band singing in small venues. She has made quite a comfortable career as a backup singer and now back to making a living with her own band.

That was a while back but they still are getting it on in their late 70s and 80s ,, that is Ron Wood Keith Richards and Mick are anyways .The original drummer here Charlie Watts died about 2 years ago , original bass player Bill Wyman retired over 30 years ago .and he is 86..

So good

[@danjoda755]

Hey Maddie, back in the Stones earliest days when they were still playing clubs,, Tina Turner was a guest in the audience. It is said she liked the band, but noted that Mick Jagger couldn't dance. She took it on herself to work with Jagger and teach him some moves, and his signature style is owed to the great Tina Turner (may she know eternal happiness in Heaven). 😇😞😉

[@MaddyReactions]

Wow!!!

[@gentryxc]

"Extremely seasoned" is an understatement. Touring from 1963-2024. Mick and Keith are 80 now and still doing it.

[@jerrypost9651]

Another great reaction from you, dear Maddy! ❤ I don't know anything about Lisa, but as you say, she definitely held her own with these rock gods. That was a super rendition of a classic song. I think you would enjoy, "Honky Tonk Women" by the group. Stay well! ✌️😁

[@MaddyReactions]

[@vicprovost2561]

Yes, those seniors still ripping it in their 70s now, doing 2 hours sets and running around as if they are in their 20s! Remarkable from start to finish, since 1962, Ikons is right! Do Can't You Hear Me Knocking, studio is a mind bending classic you need to hear and live, it takes on a life of its own. Another of the greatest songs ever from them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎶

[@JohnHF1957]

Try "icons". Mick turned 80 in July, Charlie passed away two years ago aged 80, Keith turns 80 in December and Ronnie is 76, so not all in their 70s.

I remember watching this show live from Madison Square Garden in New York City on HBO in January 2003. An amazing show from start to finish, when Lisa Fischer sang "up the scales" to hit that high note, I got chills all over. Even today, I watch it again and feel those same chills when she sings... such power, such confidence... it was 2 hours of non-stop adrenaline.

I LOVE the Rolling Stones. They are one of my top 5 bands. Mick Jagger turned 8o this past July and is still going strong. This song is one of their best. But if you want to see a truly enormous crowd, you HAVE TO, HAVE TO, react to AC /DC Live at River Plate. The concert is in Argentina. And the fans are absolutely in love with Angus and the boys as they pummel them into submission with their hit WHOLE LOTTA ROSIE. The stage runway could be used at an airport. And fan frenzy will make you wish you were there. But you have to see it to believe it. Enjoy

[@tonydelapa1911]

I’ve just discovered MaddyReactions in the last few days. Home Free - Man of Constant Sorrow was my first listen (fantastic, thank you). YT served up Gimme Shelter to me tonight. It was an easy decision to subscribe. Having seen the Stones 16 times from 1989-2019 I knew this song and this version were great. Lisa really killed it live for about 30 years touring with them. “Monkey Man” is another live song she has a big part in and slays it. Here is what I know about you already Maddy: if someone asks you how much something costs, your answer should be “rapt attention.” Because that is what you consistently pay. My favorite YT reactors have something in common - they are good listeners - you are definitely that. Thanks for what you are doing with your channel. I am going to go back through some of your play list listen to more of what you have done while looking forward to seeing what is next. I like your approach to and enthusiasm for music of (it appears) many kinds.

Like others have said, you really should watch the Oscar-winning documentary ‘20 feet from stardom’. Lisa is one of the documentary’s featured artists, as is the original backup singer on the studio version of this song, Merry Clayton. ‘20 feet’ also includes clips of Lisa as a soloist, and also singing with Sting - as well as this.

[@MaddyReactions]

Oooh

[@primalengland]

The studio recording with Merry’s crack in her voice always brings a lump to my throat. She miscarried a day or two later. She had both legs amputated after a car crash in 2014. Lots of us still consider that little hitch in her voice to be such a link to the rawness of what music once was.

It took some digging to find information about that concert. It's from 2003, probably at Twickenham in London. So some 34 years after they first released the song. The side man playing rhythym next to Keith Richards at one point in the video sure looks a lot like Lou Reed. Lisa Fischer also livened up "Monkey Man" in concert with the Stones back in the nineties.

In ~1995 I happened to be staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Rio on a work trip, totally clueless about the Rolling Stones huge upcoming concert at Maracana stadium. There was a very pretty woman, very friendly, relaxing in the lobby bar surrounded by many people. I shrugged and headed up to my room. The next day, I saw the newspaper and reality kicked: she was Linda Fischer and the Stones were staying on the top floor and I had no tickets or time.

[@JohnHF1957]

Mick and Keith are the only two original members left since Charlie sadly passed away two years ago. Mick and Keith first met at school in 1950 and they lost contact for some time when Mick's family moved to another town. They met again on a platform at Dartford Railway Station in 1961 (there is a plaque on the platform to commemorate the momentous event) and formed the band in 1962. They have had a bit of success in the 61 years since then.

[@chilidog51]

You've prematurely killed Bill Wyman. He's still very much alive.

[@JohnHF1957]

@@chilidog51 Yes he is but Bill wasn't an original member. The original bassist was Dick Taylor. I also made an error, as Charlie wasn't the original drummer either, it was Tony Chapman.

[@chilidog51]

Strictly speaking they were originally the Rollin' Stones and by the time they were considered a stable band lineup with the name Rolling Stones both Watts and Wyman were in the lineup so arguably we're both right. :)

[@JohnHF1957]

@@chilidog51 "Strictly speaking" an apostrophe in place of a g is neither here nor there. Many people don't specifically pronounce the "g" when they say the word "rolling", so there is no difference really. It comes from a Muddy Waters song and the meaning is the same with or without the "g". The original line up first played in July 1962, Wyman didn't join until December 1962 and Watts joined in January 1963. The "g" wasn't officially added until after Andrew Oldham became their manager in May 1963. So, neither Wyman or Watts were part of the original line up.
