Thank the voters.
Most people only know the studio version, which has a marvellous beginning but later on tends to be repetitive and a bit boring, just like the studio version of YCAGWYW. Poor people who never heard a live Shelter from the 72 or 73 tour, being present themselves. They missed something great.
Gimme Shelter from the Taylor era is also the best live song ever.
So much wrongness in your post.
I couldn't agree more. The guitar takes and mixes there were never repeated with the same effect, no matter how many times Keith listened to it and tried re-create it. peace
Poll from 2008 I wander if there are 70+ by now

just out of curiosity...exactly how much money do you have?
To me it has something artificial, and something of a parody as well, especially when the female singer comes in. It's like a play, not real. When they perform it on stage, we simply know it's not real. It has also some sort of message in it which actually is very strange.

BBC press release just out now:
Gimme Shelter tops BBC Radio 6 Music listener poll
of favourite Rolling Stones tracks
A BBC Radio 6 Music online poll has revealed that Gimme Shelter is the listeners’ favourite Rolling Stones track.
The vote was launched on Sunday 8th July as part of BBC 6 Music Celebrates 50 Years of The Rolling Stones, giving listeners the opportunity to vote for their all-time favourite Rolling Stones track.
Gimme Shelter, which was never released as a single, first appeared as the opening track on the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed. The Stones first played the song live on a TV special, Pop Go The Sixties, on New Year’s Eve in 1969.
BBC Radio 6 Music, which won UK station of the year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in May, compiled a list of 50 tracks and listeners chose their favoured track. The top six tracks were revealed on Steve Lamacq’s 6 Music afternoon show (1600-1900). The top ten tracks are:
1. Gimme Shelter.
2. Sympathy for the Devil
3. Paint It Black
4. You Can’t Always Get What You Want
5. Jumpin’ Jack Flash
6. Brown Sugar
7. Wild Horses
8. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
9. Tumblin’ Dice
10. Honky Tonk Women
James Stirling, Head of Programmes, BBC Radio 6 Music says: “It’s hard to pick one song from an enormous back catalogue of such quality – but the BBC Radio 6 Music listeners have done a splendid job. Gimme Shelter opens the Rolling Stones’ final album of the sixties, but still sounds as emotive and powerful on the radio today.”

GIMME SHELTER is the one song I've played in my car with friends-who-aren't-Stones-fans aboard where some have said, "I love this song."
Keith once referred to HONKY TONK WOMEN as a song that "crosses borders." I'd put GIMME SHELTER in that same category.

A good list, though I miss Sway in it. And several others. But it certainly could have been worse.
Gimme Shelter is a right choice:

Most people only know the studio version, which has a marvellous beginning but later on tends to be repetitive and a bit boring, just like the studio version of YCAGWYW. Poor people who never heard a live Shelter from the 72 or 73 tour, being present themselves. They missed something great.
Gimme Shelter from the Taylor era is also the best live song ever.

I wouldn't mind Gimme Shelter in the set. Later on it was always a good opportunity to size Ms Fischer up (as a bonus). But Kleermaker is on the button here: It's the studio version that gets all the admiration. Certainly not the live versions.

This doesn't sound like Bill's playing, it sounds like Keith's leaner, twangy, pick-plucking bass style heard on Sympathy For The Devil and Street Fighting Man. Perhaps Keith erased Bill's parts and dubbed his own onto the track, as he was so fond of doing at that time?

Although it doesn't sound like a typical Bill bass line. I don't find the bass on the studio version to be all that dynamic, like I'd expect out of Bill.

A current BBC trailer for Eastenders forecasts a coming storm because of the return of one of the characters. The song used throughout is.... Gimme Shelter.

I never heard the Stones try to re-create their studio sound on stage, that was never their goal. You don't need a higher intellect to notice that. Go ask the birds.

Great list but for my money JJF is the greatest rock and roll song of all time by anyone. It's got it all going on. Riff lyrics rhythm. Great end of sixties and hell to the seventies piece. Play it loud.

The dangerous atmosphere on the studio version makes it greater than all the live versions combined. Simply amazing and unsurpassable, imo. Some of the most effective guitar playing ever.
