@@nickcs4488 The 79 award winning release did the rounds, til the “directors cut” craze of the 90’s. It was only an extra 1/2 hour or so of footage. The extra hour (or more), with the bunnies in fridges, swapping fuel for sex, (can see why that was cut, with the continuity problems, it creates?), and original heart of darkness plot line, of Belgians in the jungle, only appeared 20 years or more later. You prolly don’t know what I’m talking about, We are talking vhs tapes, from target in the 90’s. (It used to be the predominant version on tv?).

(This song ain’t in it anyway?, how did we end up here?).

The epitome of a rock and roll song. Perhaps the greatest ever written. It captures the essence of whatever it’s being applied to, whether it be film, photo, or whatever your mind is conjuring up the moment it begins to play. It’s as if the song has a spell on it and knows what you need it to be every time you hear it. How fitting that it would be the Stones at the root of it.

The start of Gimme Shelter conjures up an emotion that's burned in my brain forever... the charmed exuberance of our carefree youth overshadowed by the constant specter of death. That war was about keeping your buddies alive. Nobody really cared about ideology once they were in country.

Keith knew what Anita Pallenburg , his girlfriend was capable of & how she loved to push boundaries & he also knew priapic Mick .He suspected they were having an affair as they made the film & that explains the " shot away " lyrics, it's referring to a camera shot & the " " pain, children " in the lyrics was because Keith & Anita had a little boy called Marlon. Keith wrote the song about the inner turmoil he felt about it all. It's in Keith's autobiography Life. It has always been rumoured however, that Anita & Mick did have sex during the making of the film. So NOT & NEVER was a war song !

This is fabulous.

I served in the British Army during the mid nineties, during which time I was deployed to Bosnia. There was an occasion when my Section was required to be flown at short notice from Split to Banja Luka,Dressed in Full Battle Order,This required a flight on a Chinook. Being seated next to the Door Gunner,and being a very young soldier, I gave into the temptation to put my Walkman on and listen to this track as we flew down several valleys between the mountains,side and rear doors open,with another Chinook to our rear. Childish perhaps to some,but I will never forget the experience, I get chills every time that I hear this track..

You and me both, bro... while I grant that the Beatles were the catalyst of the '60s music revolution they were too "clean" (so parents could accept them) and most of their early music was little more than bland, sanitized makeovers of R & B or cutesy teen romance songs. The Stones on the other hand were anything but "clean" (once they were arrested for urinating on a gas station wall...), parents hated them and THEIR early music was gutsy and raw interpretations of R & B and blues classics (the Beatles never made a special trip to the Chess Records studio; the Stones did). I agree that they reached their pinnacle with the album Let it Bleed (a deliberate poke at the Beatles acquiescent song Let it Be) and specifically the song Gimme Shelter which so perfectly captured the zeitgeist of the mid and late 1960's.

All You Need is Love… the very polar opposite of this song and yet the message at the end of Gimme Shelter matches the Beatles vision

I beg to differ regarding the Stones playing catch-up to the Beatles. As I noted in the previous comment, the Beatles early music was little more than cutesy teen-love songs and R&B covers that were sanitized for white teenagers (and their parents). The change came in 1965, after they began experimenting with LSD, when they released their first musically interesting album "Rubber Soul" which to my mind was their best album. After that they abandoned cutesy teen songs and gave up ruining soul, R&B and blues songs and instead began to focus musically on the emerging hippie culture, while also becoming increasingly involved with the production and recording aspects. The pinnacle was the album "Sergeant Pepper" which was considered the first "concept album" in rock 'n roll (and quickly imitated). The album contained mosty forgettable songs but there were several interesting ones, with "A Day in the Life" being the most interesting. While the album was essentially a producer/studio engineer's wet dream it did have quite an impact on rock 'n roll. @TC787-yq7og . I definitely agree with you regarding the Stones image. In the late 60's and early 70's the counter-culture was constantly hungry for new musical icons after being let down by their idols time and again. The Stones, with their rebel stances, reputations and radical (and occasionally satanical) lyrics, seemed to fit the roll and they were certainly happy to play along. Ironically, they never considered themselves as radicals or leaders of the counter-culture; at the end of the day all that remained of their counter-culture image was lots and lots of money (for them..) @@TC8787-yq7ogpo

Masterpiece, in both music and film!

That track , wow . I heard a back story about how they literally woke Merry Clayton up to record with the Stones . She was also very pregnant at the time . Her voice broke on the third “ murder” and you can hear Mick yell “ yeah “ as they left his admiration yell in the recording. Pretty cool trivia.

Beautifully horrifying film. Fitting song. Keef’s guitar work here makes the song lovely. The creepiest guitar riff in R & R. Very appropriate.

The Vietnam war soundtrack. I remember when this song was a Hit. Think I just came home from Vietnam. In 69. From surviving the Tet offensive 1968. Central Highlands. AN-KHE. EVERY TIME I hear this song I flashback to Vietnam. And the better time not All the bad

Jerry, my late Nam Vet brother in law, told me when we saw it that from the absence of command in the field, the utter corruption, and soldiers tripping on acid in combat, "Apocalypse Now" was the most like Vietnam of any that had come out to that time. He died in a VA hospital a few years later in what a court subsequently ruled a case of medical incompetence. After a short life like that, I feel like I'm pushing it to ask him to R.I.P.

The song has been thrashed, played untold at many a concert but still shines on .... especially when you think back to what else was around at the time....we love you yeah yeah yeah ..... that was for the masses that didn't get to know about brilliance in music, yeah the Beetles were pastiche mainly in those days, only after that came Woodstock and others that could hold a torch in the world of rock

You are so right brother Larry. I served on gunships in 1969-1970, door gunner. God bless you!

Much respect to those that didn't get any when returning home. 🙏Especially those who were drafted into that futile hell.

Great mix of video and music! Whoever mixed this is genius. Iconic Stones with every mind-blowing image from the movie, outstanding! Bravo.

The knife he holds at 3:33, one minute before the end of the video is a Ram Dao sacrificial knife. Just one more of the brilliant details in this film.

Best Ever. This video shows without a doubt the barbaric destructive nature of mankind. Why go destroy someone else's place that did nothing to you? You rock Stones.

What a Great Classic Film!!!,and Song!!!

the greatest Vietnam war movie. the greatest war movie. One of the greatest movie of all times.....

I was lucky not to serve. My number was just high enough to not get drafted. I protested the war. Tons of us protested the war. We protested the war, not the men and women who actually did the fighting. Those who served never got the honor and respect they had earned, especially because so many of them served (and paid the price) because they were forced to by the government. Gimme Shelter fit both those who fought the war and those who protested the war. But I'm always reminded of another Stones song, Memo from Turner, that includes the line "and the young men do the fighting while the old men all look on" (originally an Albert Einstein quote). That was true of Viet Nam and just about every other war, even justifiable wars liked WWI and WWII. I thank all of you who served. You were extraordinarily brave. I also thank those who protested. Had they not, the slaughter might have gone on much longer.
