TURBULENCE: BUCKLE UP! | THE ROLLING STONES - GIMME SHELTER (Reaction Video) | FIRST TIME HEARING

[@hoss-z2u]

its one of their best if not the best ,,I play it all the time

[@moteventure]

I keep it on my Moteventure Reactions playlist on Spotify, so I definitely hear it regularly now. What a great song!

[@colleentrygg7376]

One of the most recognizable and famous guitar riffs of all time.

[@moteventure]

I cannot disagree,@ COLLEENTRYGG7376!

[@andrewbrennan7291]

From that era .... there was no other song like this. This is the ultimate 'Make Love Not War' Song.

[@moteventure]

No doubt @andrewbrennan7291. Great tune no question. Great message.

[@KennyRansom-l5k]

Merry Claytons Voice Breaking / Cracking in a couple of places during her solo is the perfect example of "Leave the imperfection in , because it sounds perfect ." Today some idiot producer would "auto tune" it away .

[@moteventure]

Absolutely love your comment! Too often they produce out what makes an iconic recording. Idiots!. Thanks for checking out my channel!

[@thomas2782]

you can hear jagger shouting approval when claytons' voice cracked. She thought she'd screwed the take up...

[@davids9577]

Watch "20 Feet From Stardom" to hear Mary Clayton tell how she was called by her agent to sing back up for some band called the Rolling Stones that wanted to lay down some tracks at 2am. This was the song they worked on that early morning session. Amazing story by her and Mick Jagger.

[@moteventure]

I will definitely check it out. I did read about it a bit when I was putting the video together. Thanks for being here @davids9577!

[@wt460]

Gimme Shelter was a big hit especially because it was Vietnam War times. Mick Taylor was amazing, and Merry was phenomenal!!!

[@moteventure]

Great assessment! Thanks for finding my channel.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

That was all Keith Richards. Mick Taylor was just joining the band and didn’t play on this.

[@jeffwatts1126]

Yeah, theres no Mick Taylor on this song

[@lewismaddox4132]

I look at you and I look at the song you've chosen and hear you say you've never heard it before. I'm wrestling with my skeptical side, but am willing to believe you're a space traveler. of course you can never judge a book by looking at the guy spinning the discs. I'm intrigued!

[@moteventure]

Love being intriguing. I’m well versed on many songs by the Stones (my older brothers loved them), but somehow this tune slipped by me!

[@steveullrich7737]

It was definitely a hit back in the day. The Stones have so mnay great songs, earlier songs from the 60s like "Time Is On My Side", "She's a Rainbow" "Paint It Black", "Jumpin Jack Flash" and "Ruby Tuesday" and then anything from their "Sticky Fingers" album released in 1971 and "Angie" and "Beast of Burden" to name a few.

[@moteventure]

I knew the song title, but had never heard the song itself. Good recommendations @steveullrich7737!

[@MichaelCannata-t8q]

Well - Mick Taylor on lead - check out Sway or can’t you hear me knocking from Sticky Fingers - Stones at their best when Taylor was on lead with Keith on rhythm!!

[@moteventure]

Love these insider fan details. Thanks for being here!

[@ls1959]

The Stones were in their absolute prime in the years 1968 to 1972. Gimme Shelter came from the album Let it Bleed from 1969. But the music on the four albums between 1968 and 1972 were just absolute brilliance. My own view as a Stones fan is that the Beatles were the greatest rock n roll band in the world between 1964 and 1968, and then the Stones took the mantle as the greatest rock n roll band beginning in 1969. The Who, Zeppelin and Pink Floyd take it from there.

[@moteventure]

Well said @ls1959. I never really thought of that before in terms of the Beatles versus the stones and then bands going forward. I completely agree and I’m glad that you have discovered my channel! It’s great having you here.

[@janfijay]

Well done with the post production info.

[@moteventure]

Glad you liked it! I try to keep it interested without getting wrong. Sometimes I succeed. Thanks for checking out my channel @janfijay!

Mary Cayton kicks ass

[@moteventure]

No question on that point!

[@williamii3108]

I think you would really like the (Oscar-winning) documentary ‘20 feet from Stardom’ - about back-up singers, including especially Merry Clayton. In it Mick Jagger also talks about working on this song with her. Also featured is Lisa Fischer - who among many other accomplishments (eg singing with Sting and others) toured with the Stones for many years and sang the to this song female part in live concerts. Anyway, a must-see documentary for any fan of the genre.

[@moteventure]

I did listen/watch the live version too with Lisa. Freaking incredible performance to say the least!

[@carolbaumgart3773]

Check out the live version with Lisa Fischer singing backup!!!

[@moteventure]

Hi @carolbaumgart3773. Just listened to the nine minute version a bit ago while eating lunch, and that chemistry between Liza and Mick is electric. Loved the long intro as well and the love is just a kiss away, face-to-face part of the performance near the end. It was freaking awesome, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[@owl-gd6ce]

Mick Taylor solo not Keith he is rhythm guitar

[@moteventure]

Thanks for schooling me @owl-gd6ce and for checking out the channel!

[@jeffwatts1126]

Mick Taylor did not play on this song, Keith handled all the guitar parts on Gimme Shelter. Taylor was just joining the band and only played on two songs on this album

[@owl-gd6ce]

@@jeffwatts1126 really I didn’t .. I always loved him. Anyway thanks for the correction ✌️

[@j.k.stevens7568]

Sorry to be a downer but you have got to give your listeners a break with that low volume choice. It really cramps the audio experience particular with this genre of music. 😱

[@moteventure]

Let me work on that in the future. Thanks for letting me know!

[@j.k.stevens7568]

@@moteventure Will make a difference. You want your responders having to turn the volume down and off course you can control the volume on your own headphones rock music 'fills out' when the temp is turned up (and if properly recorded and remastered doesn't start to distort for a long while)😀

[@davidmooney2512]

Try Grand Funk version it as Good

[@moteventure]

Funny you’d mention that. They are my next group to react to! What song do you recommend?

[@sharonkirkpatrickcowzer9410]

Never heard Gimmie Shelter? You’ve led a very sheltered life.

[@moteventure]

For sure. Took me a number of decades to finally figure that out. Thanks for checking out my channel @sharonkirkpatrickcowzer9410! As they say, better late than never!

[@margaretflounders8510]

I'm 83 have some Rolling Stones from 60 years ago, I haven't got round to hearing all.....

[@drgwhatsthetruth3783]

Just be quiet and play the song.

[@moteventure]

With it being a reaction vid, I have to be cautious playing the whole track. Thanks for checking it out!

[@S.Kona34]

All the live versions and you settle for this? Nah….

[@moteventure]

I actually figured that out after the fact from a comment, listening to a live version with I believe it was Lisa Fischer and it was amazing. The trick in listening to tunes you’ve never heard before is finding a version that a fan would recommend before that fan sees what you’ve listened to. A bit of a catch-22. Thanks for the comment @S.Kona34!

[@jeffwatts1126]

@@moteventure Lisa Fisher sang on many live versions, however not on the studio version. This was a singer named Mary Clayton. They woke her out of bed at 2am and had her come down to the studio. She at the time had never even heard of the Rolling Stones. She laid down the track and that was that. The next day she had a miscarriage and for years later claimed it happened because of her exertion on this performance. For years she didnt want to talk about this song, understandably.
