Keep in mind that "Let It Bleed" had't been released yet at the time of the '69 tour so audiences were hearing the songs from the album (including Gimme Shelter) for the first time at those shows.

I've often wondered if that was a scheduling misfire or what. That used to happen occasionally back then. When I saw George Harrison in 1974, the Dark Horse album was released a month later, and he played 3 or 4 tunes from that where the audience wasn't familiar with it at all. Same thing with Zeppelin and ITTOD and Kenbworth.

What version is the best from that tour? The Oakland one? Altamont? Are there no other boot versions out there?

There are 6 Gimme Shelter's from 1969, as Palace wrote, all available on bootlegs and torrents.
Altamont is the best one IMO, but the version in the Gimme Shelter movie was edited into 2 minutes. The full 4 minute version exists on bootleg in soundboard quality

So, the version we hear in the Gimme Shelter movie is from Altamont?

Here's another question. Is it Mick T on lead for GS during the tour?

As I recall from the time; the album was delayed because the vocals for some of the songs had been accidentally erased. Mick Jagger was in Australia [Ned Kelly] and the band had to wait for him to return to rerecord his vocals. I always wondered if this was the reason for Keith's vocals on 'You Got The Silver'
