....to see Merry Clayton for a guest appearance on Gimme Shelter?

In the days of guest appearances would male sense in my opinion!

ain't she a female?

Does she sing still? her last record was in 1994. She's probably a little rusty...

Sarah Dash is still working.

If we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long?

This has always seemed like a no-brainer for me. Wonder why they have not yet done it?

her voice is shot I'm afraid - they'd have to drop the key a fair few notes

that doesn't male sense.

Jagger loves female singers to share his stage... as long as they're half his age.

but the song calls for a shot away...oh, nevermind...

Merry did a great version for a solo album of hers.

I think she was a former Raelette.

An interesting--and ominous--footnote to her work on the song:

"She had a miscarriage upon returning home from recording Gimme Shelter; some hypothesize this was due to the strain associated with reaching such high notes whilst singing." Source: Snowden, Don (March 13, 1986). "For Clayton, The Gloom Is Gone". Los Angeles Times.

At any rate, because The Stones market their shows to a mainstream, rather than hardcore, audience, special guests in concert would have to be generally well known.

she sued them back when for royalities....so i doubt it would ever happen
