The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter | Opera Singer Reacts

[@Robert-op7oc]

EPIC... The Rolling Stones... been making hits since the 60's!!!!!!!!

[@coy0te9]

Lisa Fischer. There's a film about great rock backing vocalists, including her, 20 Feet from Stardom. She says singing face to face with Jagger the audience disappears. The guitarist who wandered out first is Keith Richards, who shall rule the world with the roaches long after we're gone.

[@peccatumDei]

Quite right! I've heard it said that children today need to start thinking about what kind of world they're going to leave to Keith Richards and Willie Nelson.

I remember watching an interview with Mary Clayton. She said she got a phone call in the middle of the night and went to the studio immediately. Said these crazy white boys wanted her to sing about rape and murder and she's like uh no. Then the band explained the concept behind the song and she agreed to sing the part. Rock history made.

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

And some of the best singing on an album ever!

[@michaelchristopher3845]

There's a documentary film called "20 Feet From Stardom" it has Merry Clayton's isolated vocal from the original studio version.

Maggie, her name is Lisa Fischer. She did a lot of live performances with The Stones for years, primarily as a background vocalist. She is not the woman who sang on the recording of this song. That was Merry Clayton, who did a lot of background work and session work on a lot of artists records. When the Stones did their 50th anniversary tour in 2012 they used celebrity singers at the various tour stops including Mary J Blige and Lady Gaga among others.

[@FrogLegs313]

Mick is NOT a classically trained vocalist by any stretch of the imagination. However he IS exactly what the music they make needs

[@trixiebella]

This is my favorite Rolling Stones song! Glad you enjoyed it. Great job!

I have to say I am astonished she did not know who Mick Jagger was !

[@user-hj5ws4uh6h]

The guitarist, which you thought to be Mick Jagger, is called Keith Richards. He played a role in "Pirates of the caribbean" The role was short, but beautiful because his appearance was as a real bandit)))

[@1tishhead]

As an aside, about your confusion on Rolling Stone magazine not being affiliated with the band. The Rolling Stone reference common to both is a Muddy Waters blues song called Rollin' Stone. One of the most iconic songs of the 60s was Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone. Dylan, in turn, was reportedly inspired by a rolling stone reference in a Hank Williams country song from the 40s. While the Rolling Stones were only 4th on Rolling Stone's list, Like A Rolling Stone was 1st on Rolling Stone's list of best songs.

[@billw6954]

I would say opera is controlled chaos while the rolling stones are raw anarchy. no auto tune

[@Micknkeithable]

Listen to the original album recording from 1969 and Jagger with a belting 26-year-old voice

[@armadillotoe]

Mick Jagger was once describes as a rooster on acid.

[@jamesmoritz3584]

Mick Jagger is not known for a so called great singing voice. He was famous for his stage performance and song writing skills. You don't need a great voice to be a rock singer

[@BritishBeachcomber]

Hi Maggie, you hit it with Merry Clayton's vocals. She lifts the track to a whole new level. Singing an octave above her natural range, she sometimes breaks, but that gives it so much feel.

[@maxloughlin9971]

That’s Lisa Fischer

[@princeofpcos9804]

Original needs to be heard!

[@steelers6titles]

Let It Bleed. The Sixties were OVER.

[@88wildcat]

You should hear the studio version from Let It Bleed. Mary Clayton, the backup vocalist on it, put so much into it that 1. You can hear Mick Jagger faintly say Whoaaa after her part. 2. She actually ended up having a miscarriage from overexerting herself on the vocals.

[@DEliassen]

🤩🙌

[@willieboy3011]

Mick is much older here. However, the female singer wins vocals here, and Maggie wins dancing moves.

[@podunkcitizen2562]

I've seen other performances on video, I think Lisa's mic is turned down a little too low. No way Lisa's voice doesn't pierce through Mick's voice and it should.

[@stephenkerensky710]

By no means the best version. The Stones popularized the African-American blues and sold it back to America, where it was ignored. So their music is about weaving complex rhythms, Listen to the first two albums, focusing your attention on the bass and drums. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts were jazz-trained and so could handle mulitple rhythms.

[@alan-thealanyst]

Love me some Stones! Excellent video, and we definitely need more from these guys!

You needed to listen to the album version. Merry Claytons voice cracks as she hits the high note, and you can hear Mick in the background say 'Whoooo'. What is this song all about? The Vietnam War.

She is Lisa Fisher the most desirable studio singers ever. Although the original singer on the record was also a phenomenal artist who helped make this song epic.

[@mikenolan8044]

You can always tell which one is Jagger. As Candy Slice (a Gilda Radner character) put it “Here’s to you Mick Jagger. You’ve got the greatest Rock and Roll band in the history of Rock and Roll and you don’t even play an instrument!” Fabulous reaction to a fabulous performance. Maybe you should start a ‘Rock and Roll band’ as a sideline. You got the voice, you CAN play instruments and you got the moves too. 🤩

LOL, I don't think there is anything you could do to Keith Richards that would piss him off more than mistaking him for Mick Jagger. You know that couple that has been married for 50 years and gets on each others nerves everyday but will never break up as long as they live? If they were in a rock and roll band they would be Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

[@alexanderwalter4595]

Occasionally the Rolling Stones have different guest female vocalists singing duet on Gimme Shelter. If the RS ever go on tour again, maybe they'll have auditions for the female vocalist on Gimme Shelter. You should audition if you have the chance. I think Lisa Fischer is past her days performing with the RS.

This is a great song but to my ears it has lost much of its punch. It was best with Mick Taylor was playing. His sound was perfect for me. Just my opinion. And I love Ronnie Wood. He has a great but different sound.

[@aaronnicklaus7860]

You should give Tool another go. Maybe with The Pot or 46&2. The individual members of the band are great, if not the greatest, in their genre. A few hints for listening to Tool for the best results: 1) Always use headphones to catch all the dynamic music and time changes. 2) Never react to the video versions as that will just distract you from the music. 3) Always keep an open mind and feel free to lookup the lyrics as there are multiple levels to Tool songs. If you try them again, I am sure the Tool Army will respond and give further information about any of their great songs you decide to react to.
