LOL .. I love keef but this song live belongs to Mick Taylor .. and his amazing playing is absent in this performance

The GREATEST rock song EVER !

Back when The Rolling Stones had one of the best guitarist,.. Mick Taylor!

The Rolling Stones in their bare bones, so much rawness and attitude in this version.

Missing Merry Clayton. Still a good video. Love the way Charlie Watts is so laid back, he lets everybody do their drama and flash on stage. And he just sits there behind the drums with that little smile.

Best Rolling Stones Ever ❤

This was the best Stones line up......Mick Taylor was only 20 then.....Wow !

It is difficult to pick just 1 favourite Rolling Stones song. They have so many flavours. However, this track is haunting, and gets turned up every time it comes on the radio.

This is by far, the coolest intro in rock 🎸

This song along with All Along The Watchtower by Hendrix heralded the end of the Hippie Love movement. 😔. ❤️

Masterpiece!!!❤

Thank you Charlie, thank you!

One of the greatest songs of all time.

Fantastic. Timeless

It’s cool to see Mick Taylor smile...

Im 38... this was my dads era, he was 20 when this was released, triumph tiger 100... no helmet ... festivals ... living his life. Im very envious 😂

The greatest song in the history of rock n roll music. Scorcese used it in at least 3 of his films.❤

@ 3:21 Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman BOTH SMILING!!!!!

As good as it gets. This song chills the blood, freezes the mind.. gimme shelter .

probably the best song of this century, it was all downhill from here

Hands down the greatest rock n roll song ever.

Epitome of rock song right here!!

One of the Stones greatest songs for sure!

En 69, j'avais 11 ans, Je suis tombé sur brown sugar. Il y avait une vieille gratte délabrée à la maison, j'ai commencé la dessus. Non stop. J'ai tous les disques et même de rares import. Vraiment un groupe fabuleux

Gimme Shelter is just the song I put on top of my list of all the RNR songs I love. Stones at their best, best song ever...

Fantastic. Iconic. Unforgettable.

51 years later and still the best rift ever by the best band ever 🎼🇬🇧👍😊

There will Never be another band even similar to the Stones. So unbelievably unique. Amazing.

Incredible. ❤

Charlie and Keith...perfection!

Best thing the Stones ever did. It's Merry Clayton's voice that provides the chills in the spine though.

This song is a Masterpiece. ☝🏻🎤💋

Mick looks like an old catchers mitt, but he can still move like no other 78yo. Good genes. His dad lived to way into his 90s. Keith's looks? Let's not go there. But he too can still play with those old knobby fingers. Amazing.

Hands down, my fav song of all time. Damn! born 25 years too late. Miss the time when such things were happening.

this beautiful masterpiece blows my mindd,never tired of listeninig this fucking great song

I saw the Stones during that time and many times since. The band was the music, Mick was the show!❤️

Mick tears a hole in this performance, great job.

What a fucken devil driven insane genius guitar intro

What a great version. Thanks so much for posting.

Best Stones line-up Jagger/Richards/Taylor/Wyman/Watts.....Taylor by far was the best Stones guitarist. His hair, his Les Paul, his general look and the sheer period of contribution to the Stones smokes Wood everytime and every day of the week.

They're all stoned , even dear Charlie bless his heart. Jagger has major head rush lol

When I was a kid I love the Beatles. Stones good. Then I saw them live. Mick is the greatest Rock and Roller.

Very powerful song. The studio version with Clayton is even more powerful!

That big smile on Mick Taylors face says it all. Stones!

We will never have music this good again. Thank God I was there (not for this performance obviously).

Omg how many great songs have the stones recorded ..still be played in 50 years time I bet !!!!!!!

The greatest rock song

I like to think of this as 'emulated American music'. It was so good only history will judge it harshly.

Great video. Sounds like a primarily live recording. No backup singers. But the harmonica playing sounds clearly Mick while he’s dancing in the video. And while Keith plays one of his iconic solos, the camera lingers on everyone but him. No shots of Keith’s hands on the guitar. Like the Ya Ya’s videos an irretrievable loss of watching Keith play what no one has played better since.

The Stones at their absolute peak, with an elegy for Sixties innocence that's as relevant as ever today.

A great friend said they played this song when they blacked out in a Herk, crossin the fence goin into Afghanistan, droppin in low level. Gives me chills now. Apparently it was Johns idea. Love that.

Fantastic. I didn't think this could be done w/o the backing vocal but it is just as powerful.

Awesome! If Merry Clayton had been there to lend her soaring vocals to this it would have been perfect!

This music is so great, and the flood of memories that come back to me are so crisp...damn, it leaves me with a lump in my throat.

A good guitarplayer isn't only about being good technically but even as important is the style, the way of playing. Only few guitarists are as recognisable (in sound and way of playing) as Keith, that combined with his charisma and songwriting abilities make Keith thé archetypal rock guitarist in my book. Keith is the archtypical rock guitarist
