I've become aware of this great version of Gimme Shelter, it's so relaxed, and the rhythm is great. Can't stop playing it, so I uploaded it on Youtube:

I think Mick must have thought: well, what's the matter with Mick??

Yes indeed, it's a fantastic version
My favourite TOTA version of Gimme Shelter comes from Fort Collins, btw

Yeah, one of my fave live GS too!
It sounded best on the early vinyl boots like Who went to church . .

I know parts of this show were available on vinyl bootleg but does anybody know if the whole show was ever released on vinyl bootleg?

Fantastic version of a fantastic tour. Best Charlie tour.

All LA shows have been released on vynil and CD with most of them in excellent audience quality. The July 13 show is the best sounding (better than most soundboards of any tour), and has been released on CD as 'LA Friday' and 'Who Went to Church This Sunday'. LA Friday remains the best sold VGP boot.

Great original tape! But I liked the sound best on those early vinyls like Charlie and his fab.RS, Who went to church, etc.
Is there a source for the selling of VGP? Would be interesting.

Charlie was good - powerded by O. Brown - in 75. But I liked him best in 69!

I agree with Hbwriter. Preston's annoying keyboards were a huge bust. His piano playin was good.

Anything wrong with Wood`s playing ? I think he`s much better than Taylor even in the same period of 70`s.

Cool. so does anyone know the name/label of the vinyl bootleg with the complete show from the 13th? Cheers!

This one is my favourite live version. The tempo is better :

I like the 75 version but i dont love it, its my least favorite of all tour versions, lacked passion IMO

Was trying to find the video from No Security of Gimme Shelter but I can't find it! I really like that version. That 1975 one sucks!

As far as I know it wasn't complete on one vinyl but splitted on 3 albums.That's the way I got it first.

That's cool, do you remember the titles at all?

@ Vudicus

I think it was: "Charlie watts and his fabulous R. Stones", "Who went to church this sunday" and "75 Nervous Breakdown/ LA Friday".

Don't remember at moment whether it was complete but the LA stuff(mixed from july 13 and 10) came out in best possible quality first on those 3 vinyl albums . .

Some of those songs still sound best on these early albums.

He's not imo,
but his effort to copy him is not bad.
