Stripped companion by far, i live in orlando and whever there are fireworks at disney i play that song on my mp3 player, gives me chills

I am really sick of the lisa version, i wish they would do gimme shelter
with just the four stones and darryl or anyone on bass for that matter

<Perth 73 is my fave,
is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!>

It's a pretty messy version with all the drumming (and/or guitar) mistakes the first minute, but what is interesting about this version is Taylor's wah-wah approach. Haven't heard other GS-versions with wah-wah?

any 69-72 version.

love the Altamont one, what an intro !

Yes Perth might be messy at the start but once the band hits the groove it is awesome!! Taylor must have thought, well this song has been @#$%& up at the start then I have nothing to lose by playing the solo with a wah-wah !!! A class act...

The Gimme Shelter version of "Ultimate TV Masters" DVD is also SUPERB singing/performance by Jagger (even though it's the studio music).

Gimme Shelter:> Still a very fresh song ... Nerves still tingle when I hear the opening .... Let it Bleed version is great .... but its best heard live.

presumably you mean the "pop go the 60's" broadcast version

Its a fantastic vocal, especially the last verse of it.. ("Gimme...gimme shell-TAH!"

agreed the perth version starts slow but it winds up being one of the
best versions ever

Sorry bassplayer617 but it has to be Wembley 73...

That said, the version with Lisa (Stripped Companion) is magnificent for different reasons.

No need to apologize, Logie, but I haven't heard the Stripped Companion version. However, I do have the B2B video (St Louis 1997) and FF (Twickenham).

One could argue that the latter-day versions are closer to the original studio track than the Taylor showcase of '73, but this only opens up another can of worms.

MSG HBO version was pretty hot, for a later version anyway
