The Grateful Dead never played Gimme Shelter. Although they have played Satisfaction, The Last Time and Jerry Garcia has done Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile and Lets Spend The Night Together.
I think there may be a couple of more, but off the top of my head, I can't remember.
BUT...I can tell you the never played GS....that's to bad, they would've done a great job with it.
They have covered some of the same tunes The Stones have covered...such as Around and Around, Mannish Boy, It's All Over Now, Johnny B Goode, Let it Rock, Not Fade away and Little Red Rooster...which Mick Taylor joined them in 1988 at Madison Sq. Garden.
Supposedly, they sound checked Start Me Up in 1994.
