Song is 47 years old.
So cool, and still I am getting goose bumps when hearing it.
And what a great piano by blessed Nicky Hopkins.
NB: And someone on youtube tell 'em please that this song was written by Keith Richards and is not about Angie Bowie.
Cheers

Remembers me also of myself when I first time get to hear, for example, "Gimme Shelter", after having purchased LET IT BLEED (that was in 1982, and the song was quaint, hehehe, and I really haven't heard it or about it ever before). I recall it sounding impressive, powerful and threatening, but 'odd' - that there was so much, too much going on that it really went out of my head. It really took a couple of listenings - no, probably years of listening - to really start understanding what there was going on. And still even today there remains some odd mystery there. The presence of something beyond the words or even music.

I find that there is this almost subsonic shuddering temolo on the bottom end of Ginne Shelter that is so unique. It's like it is buried in the muddy mix like some foreboding spirit making its presence known. You don't necessarily hear it unless you focus and concentrate on it. I wonder if it is just some happy accident like two bass lines recorded on top of each other with slightly different tuning and you get a shuddering beat frequency as a result. Like threatening thunder off in the distance.
I am no expert on house music and all of the variations on the theme. On another level I have always considered the music in Gimme Shelter to have a trance-like effect om you. So perhaps some people in the know would consider it to be the grandfather of trance music... At least it is for me!

I normally don't like to speak negatively about the Stones, but since this topic is posted, Angie is probably my least favorite Stones Song.
