Recorded and released in 1969 from the Rolling Stones album 'Let it bleed'... the single 'Gimme Shelter' featured the soul vocals of guest singer Merry Clayton on the studio track - her powerful voice captivated the song over Mick Jagger's vocals, making the song powerful... the lyrics were inspired by the Vietnam War era and the tensions & civil unrest in America in 1969 at the beginning of Pres. Nixon's era.
Love it when you are watching and talking about proper music by one of the greatest bands ever and has been for 6 decades..He is definitely singing Gimme Shelter. I saw them live in Glasgow 1973 and 1976. Great reaction from you 3 girls. He was very subdued here.
Tina Turner taught Mick some moves back in the day they were good friends. The lyrics are very profound an antiwar song:- Ooh, a storm is threatening My very life today If I don't get some shelter Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away War, children It's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children It's just a shot away It's just a shot away Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' Our streets today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost its way War, children It's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children It's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Rape, murder, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away Mmm, a flood is threatening My very life today Gimme, gimme shelter Or I'm gonna fade away War, children It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away It's just a shot away I tell you love, sister It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away It's just a kiss away Kiss away, kiss away
I saw Sir Mick and the lads play at The Anfield Stadium in Liverpool just over two years ago. Hard to believe it was 1971 the last time The Stones played in Liverpool. I wanted to go with my Mum and Dad but as I was only eight at the time, they thought I was too Young. The Stones were brilliant that night at Anfield in 2022, it was hard to believe here was a bunch of septuagenarian's showing the young ones how to do it. Seemed like from the start of the show to the end every song was a classic. The only thing to take the shine of the show was that Charlie Watts wasn't on the drums. RIP Charlie, he was underrated but one of the best.
Everytime I see the Stones , I'm reminded of a bit in Mad Magazine many years ago . They did a depiction of a 90 year old Mick Jagger on stage , leaning on a walker , singing " Now I Really Can't Get No Satisfaction " . I'll say this for the artist , theu got the wrinkles right in the drawing .
Lisa Fischer was one of the backup singers for the Rolling Stones for many years and this was her moment to shine during the concert. A great voice, a great song and a great band.
Born and raised and still live in same town where Keith and mick was born and finally recently we had a statue of the pair erected in our town square seen them 7 times.. a great reaction girls and hope to see more stones on your channel
Mick is one of a kind. The late great Charlie watts is on drums. Jimmy Fallon can sing and talk with mick's strutting. The band members are hitting their 80s
I saw them in concert in 1972 and 1984. The Stones just keep on Rolling😊. Charlie Watt ,the drummer, passed away a few years ago. He was the oldest band member. I think they’re the longest formed group in Rock and Roll history, 60 years or so, Ladies, Mick Jagger is always high energy. Any live video is good. Love your channel!
I saw them in '72 as well, in San Francisco when Stevie Wonder opened for them. That was my favorite Stones era with Mick Taylor on guitar. Also saw them in '69 at Altamont, but unfortunately that turned into a disaster. The daytime portion of the concert was better when Santana, Jefferson Airplane and CSNY played. As the day wore on and the Hells Angels, hired as security and paid in beer, consumed a few too many cases, and things got ugly.
Bill Wyman was oldest original member of the group. Born 1936 in SE London he was old enough to watch the Battle of Britain take place in the skies above his home area. Most of the 1960s British musicians were born in WW2 from about 1940 (Ringo Starr & John Lennon) to just after (members of The Who, Eric Clapton, etc). They were affected by WW2 and played in the bomb craters and damaged buildings but not many old enough to experience it consciously and to be shot at by German aeroplanes
The song 🎵 that Lulu was talking about was Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera which was released in 2010. Not a bad official video to it either.
Kathy & Donna have great facial expressions and always wonder what Lulu will say next!! Lisa Fischer( backup singer)did some tours with the Stones, but Merry Clayton did the original vocal work on this track. There’s a movie 20 feet from Stardom that gives you a bigger peak behind the recording.
If you want to check out Jagger moving on stage, I recommend the original music video for Jumpin Jack Flash (1968), also the live version of Sympathy for the Devil from the Rock n Roll Circus in 1968, and Out of Control live in 1997 in Buenos Aires.
The Stones are still bringing it! Just saw them last month in Santa Clara, CA (with both my 17 year old son and 31 year old daughter!) touring for their latest album...
Man is it nice to see Charlie Watts again on the drum kit. He wasn't flashy or full of tricks, he just anchored the Stones like a R O C K! Give Me Shelter is a Stones signature song. It's a classic and one of their very best.
Me and the wife saw them live at the Ohio State Football stadium in Columbus, Ohio, about 15 years ago. We were about row 30 at the field level, amazing view, especially when part of the stage extended out to about row 20 and Mick walked to the end of it while singing. They put on a fantastic performance.
This song from the Let It Bleed album (Nov '69) finished off the 1960s. Their first album in 1964 was so innocent, and it seemed fitting that they saw out the decade with something gritty.
Definitely one of my favourite stones songs. Love them and my parents were so happy when i started digging them yhem in the mid sixties ❤❤. My favourite is Shattered. Check that one out please! True legends of rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great reaction ladies!❤❤❤
Jaggers moves: Keith Richards explains in his book that the Stones started in crowded little clubs with tiny stages. The five of them were crammed so tight on the stage that Jagger had to dance in one confined spot, and basically swivel his shoulders.
Thanks for the great reaction. I agree, it seemed somewhat subdued. I prefer their live version in Cuba (Havana Moon) video, when Cuba finally got first chance to see the Stones live. Excellent concert, and amazing crowd. Thank you.
IMO Best live version of this song was performed in Cuba - that female soloist Brought-Down-The-House with her performance. *"The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter ('Havana Moon' Live)"*
See Mick with other artists SuperHeavy was a one-off supergroup project consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, A. R. Rahman, and Damian Marley . First single called Miracle Worker
The Stones had a number of song . Lets spend the the night together. Cant get no satisfaction. Honkey tonk woman. Sympathy for the devil .If you start me up .She's so cold .Wild horses . She comes in colors just a few .Saw them on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW In 64 .Great Band there still here .GREAT JOB LADIES .
I got to see the Stones only one time in all their years of touring, it was back in 1981. It was outdoors in Buffalo, NY, and there were at least 60k people in that stadium, probably more. It's hard to believe that The Rolling Stones have at it for so many decades, lot's of time for Mick Jagger to perfect his moves!!! lol
I love you three. If you want to hear a great band, explore the Cowboy Junkies. It's nothing to do with drugs. They're a family band and are wonderful. Try Common Disaster.
Lisa Fischer is the backing singer and I saw her in her own concert in the uk a few years ago and she has the best voice. How Can I Ease the Pain is her main hit which is the best vocal I’ve ever heard and wait for the best note you’ll ever hear!!!!
Great reaction ladies! And yes, you really, really should see more RS live videos. Mick is even more animated in them than this particular video. You will really enjoy them all.
Lisa Fischer was the singer's name. She is a respected r'n'b singer in her own right as well as a backing singer for the Stones and the late Luther Vandross.
That is the best live version of this song I have ever seen, and I have seen a bunch of them over time. Man, they were on utter fire there, they always do a great job on this tune. See the official lyric video for the original studio sometime, one of their best tunes, a timeless classic. Enjoy ladies, you're doing great, Rock On! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎶🔥
It's an amazing react and performance, love me some Rolling Stones! Please react to “Humble Pie - I Don’t Need No Doctor - Live Midnight Special, 1973”
I saw them in 1981, Pontiac Silver Dome in Pontiac Michigan. Iggy Pop and Santana opened. I recall that Santana put on the best performance. Iggy Pop got booed and people were throwing there lighters at him. Mick had a Detroit Lions Jersey on if I remember correctly. Santana came out for multiple encores.
Kathy, I had the same issue with the song name! I am not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones but Sina Drums just released a cover of their Start Me Up somg that is really good.
There is an excellent version of Gimme Shelter on TH-cam which is U2 featuring Fergie, Will.I.Am and Mick Jagger. I recently mentioned to you about the Coldplay Fix You with Michael J Fox in a wheelchair well about 8 years ago before Michael was as poorly as he is now he performed Johnny B Good and Earth Angel live on stage with Coldplay, it's up on TH-cam if you want to catch up with it. I love the fella just wandering around checking out the fridge it keeps it real ❤ 🇬🇧
Ba boom! Mick would have been c!ose to 70! Dang if I could move like that, even when I was 20! I am 65 now and can hardly move at all.😊 Good review ladies!
All three of you are adorable and cool af. Great reaction. This is subdued for Jagger. Anything live from them from 1968 through 1979 is so good. Are y'all from anywhere near my part of the country (North Carolina side of the Smoky Mountains)? ❤❤❤
They're still touring. If you get a chance see them live they always put on a great show.Yeah, I agree, Mick J. is really toned down in this performance. If this concert is from the tour of the album Hackney Diamonds Mick is approx 68 years old. RIP Charlie.
![Gimme Shelter (Live & Studio) [Rolling Stones Reaction] Love in Vain-First time hearing Let It Bleed](/img/n.gif)
Love This Song Has To Be One Of The Greatest Songs Ever Written.
Mick's 80 years and still Rockin' . Nobody can strut like Mick. He's simply, the best. They had a 2024 tour.
Stayed way too long
I saw them this year lol 😊
R.I.P. Charlie.🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁😎

Jagger and Richards are referred to as the glimmer twins. Richard’s is a MONSTER player and a real character. Class A Rock Stars.
Love it when you are watching and talking about proper music by one of the greatest bands ever and has been for 6 decades..He is definitely singing Gimme Shelter. I saw them live in Glasgow 1973 and 1976. Great reaction from you 3 girls. He was very subdued here.
The Lisa Fisher solo is awesome....one of the most powerful seen on stage....ever...
It's so generous of you ladies to let homeless persons having a pick from your fridge. They do need love and compassion. :_)
I would guess he is the one that paid to fill it.
😂
hahaha brilliant
Hey Ladies! The STONES!!! Enough said.👍😎
Tina Turner taught Mick some moves back in the day they were good friends.
The lyrics are very profound an antiwar song:-
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Mmm, a flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
LMAO the look on Kathy's face from 12:30 on while she was mesmerized by Jagger's moves. "Oh I was lookin''! Priceless!
I saw Sir Mick and the lads play at The Anfield Stadium in Liverpool just over two years ago.
Hard to believe it was 1971 the last time The Stones played in Liverpool. I wanted to go with my Mum and Dad but as I was only eight at the time, they thought I was too Young.

The only thing to take the shine of the show was that Charlie Watts wasn't on the drums. RIP Charlie, he was underrated but one of the best.
Jagger is a beast. Brilliant
Rolling Stones, Rules🎉🎉🎉🎉
Everytime I see the Stones , I'm reminded of a bit in Mad Magazine many years ago . They did a depiction of a 90 year old Mick Jagger on stage , leaning on a walker , singing " Now I Really Can't Get No Satisfaction " . I'll say this for the artist , theu got the wrinkles right in the drawing .
Man I remember that brother. I have a big collection of Mad magazines.
Lisa Fischer was one of the backup singers for the Rolling Stones for many years and this was her moment to shine during the concert. A great voice, a great song and a great band.
Great British band .. one of the best bands in history.
2 things donnas face and dad getting a beer wonderful
Born and raised and still live in same town where Keith and mick was born and finally recently we had a statue of the pair erected in our town square seen them 7 times.. a great reaction girls and hope to see more stones on your channel
Mick is one of a kind. The late great Charlie watts is on drums. Jimmy Fallon can sing and talk with mick's strutting. The band members are hitting their 80s
Without a doubt, Mick is the most famous frontal in rock and roll history.
Jim Morrison wasn't too shabby either.
I saw them in concert in 1972 and 1984. The Stones just keep on Rolling😊. Charlie Watt ,the drummer, passed away a few years ago. He was the oldest band member. I think they’re the longest formed group in Rock and Roll history, 60 years or so, Ladies, Mick Jagger is always high energy. Any live video is good. Love your channel!
Thanks for watching
I saw them in '72 as well, in San Francisco when Stevie Wonder opened for them. That was my favorite Stones era with Mick Taylor on guitar. Also saw them in '69 at Altamont, but unfortunately that turned into a disaster. The daytime portion of the concert was better when Santana, Jefferson Airplane and CSNY played. As the day wore on and the Hells Angels, hired as security and paid in beer, consumed a few too many cases, and things got ugly.

Another banger ladies! The Rolling Stones never disappoint! Oh Yeah Kathy, His moves had you jumping in your seat! lol BA-BOOM!!
Lol
My personal favourite is paint it black.
The song 🎵 that Lulu was talking about was Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera which was released in 2010.
Not a bad official video to it either.
Thanks
Kathy & Donna have great facial expressions and always wonder what Lulu will say next!! Lisa Fischer( backup singer)did some tours with the Stones, but Merry Clayton did the original vocal work on this track. There’s a movie 20 feet from Stardom that gives you a bigger peak behind the recording.
Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the World
By far
If you want to check out Jagger moving on stage, I recommend the original music video for Jumpin Jack Flash (1968), also the live version of Sympathy for the Devil from the Rock n Roll Circus in 1968, and Out of Control live in 1997 in Buenos Aires.

We were about row 30 at the field level, amazing view, especially when part of the stage extended out to about row 20 and Mick walked to the end of it while singing. They put on a fantastic performance.
The four main members of the band were all senior citizens at this time. I have this song as my ringtone!
This song from the Let It Bleed album (Nov '69) finished off the 1960s. Their first album in 1964 was so innocent, and it seemed fitting that they saw out the decade with something gritty.
I bet it was colder weather. Lisa had a cape on and Mick had a long sleeved shirt (instead of bare). They are older than they used to be...
Love you guys...look for the all female band rendition in the states.its the best rendition of this song, legendary ... maybe 10 year's ago?
This is my favorite Rolling Stones song. I used to sing Rolling Stones songs in a band in college in the mid 60’s.
Definitely one of my favourite stones songs. Love them and my parents were so happy when i started digging them yhem in the mid sixties ❤❤. My favourite is Shattered. Check that one out please! True legends of rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great reaction ladies!❤❤❤
Sympathy for the Devil--Live !!!-He turns into something- he goes into a crazy dancing mode.
There is no one as cool as The Rolling Stones
Jaggers moves: Keith Richards explains in his book that the Stones started in crowded little clubs with tiny stages. The five of them were crammed so tight on the stage that Jagger had to dance in one confined spot, and basically swivel his shoulders.
the song was inspired by The Murder by the Hells Angels at a concert in Cal. I think it was at Altamont
I was there.
Crazy...
Thanks for the great reaction. I agree, it seemed somewhat subdued. I prefer their live version in Cuba (Havana Moon) video, when Cuba finally got first chance to see the Stones live. Excellent concert, and amazing crowd. Thank you.
IMO Best live version of this song was performed in Cuba - that female soloist Brought-Down-The-House with her performance.
*"The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter ('Havana Moon' Live)"*
5:58 I like how Lisa cuffs Mick on the head as she runs out lol
See Mick with other artists
SuperHeavy was a one-off supergroup project consisting of Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Dave Stewart, A. R. Rahman, and Damian Marley .
First single called Miracle Worker
Mick is 81,years old and still touring and rocking out He joined the band when he was 19
need to do the studio version. Have seen them in concert a few times and simply amazing.
Great t shirts too! Long live rock and roll. Oooops! Thats a song by Rainbow.
love mick's energy as always.
Check out the studio version of this when you have a chance. The beginning has a very hypnotic quality, I find.
The Stones had a number of song . Lets spend the the night together. Cant get no satisfaction. Honkey tonk woman. Sympathy for the devil .If you start me up .She's so cold .Wild horses . She comes in colors just a few .Saw them on the ED SULLIVAN SHOW In 64 .Great Band there still here .GREAT JOB LADIES .
That ladies was, a LIVE performance from their Bridges To Babylon tour. No promo video. I own the DVD!
I got to see the Stones only one time in all their years of touring, it was back in 1981. It was outdoors in Buffalo, NY, and there were at least 60k people in that stadium, probably more. It's hard to believe that The Rolling Stones have at it for so many decades, lot's of time for Mick Jagger to perfect his moves!!! lol
Every VET relates to this song - AIRBORNE - Saw them in in Germany for the Tatoo You tour.
It's why they are called the greatest Rock& Roll band in the world.
I love you three. If you want to hear a great band, explore the Cowboy Junkies. It's nothing to do with drugs. They're a family band and are wonderful. Try Common Disaster.
These cute ladies seem to be getting cuter. (Always loved this song)
Happy Election US Day 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You go girls....❤❤❤❤
Lisa Fischer is the backing singer and I saw her in her own concert in the uk a few years ago and she has the best voice.
How Can I Ease the Pain is her main hit which is the best vocal I’ve ever heard and wait for the best note you’ll ever hear!!!!
No, you are right
Mick gets down ...and the Stones rock!
Honky Tonk Women, Sympthay For the Devil, Jumpin Jack Flash, Satisfaction. All classics from the stones
Great reaction ladies! And yes, you really, really should see more RS live videos. Mick is even more animated in them than this particular video. You will really enjoy them all.
GOOD MORNING GIRLS🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Saw them with zz top Dallas cotton bowl 1981.
Havana Moon is a concert movie from Cuba. Midnight Rambler any live version.
Lisa Fischer was the singer's name. She is a respected r'n'b singer in her own right as well as a backing singer for the Stones and the late Luther Vandross.
That is the best live version of this song I have ever seen, and I have seen a bunch of them over time. Man, they were on utter fire there, they always do a great job on this tune.

🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎶🔥
Best live version is always with Mick Taylor
@pavlovdog3906 Spot On!
I gotta move like Jagger... Line from a song from Marroon 5 🙂
Grand Funk cover is great too
It's an amazing react and performance, love me some Rolling Stones! Please react to “Humble Pie - I Don’t Need No Doctor - Live Midnight Special, 1973”
They did do a halftime at the super bowl, steelers vs Arizona i believe. It was in Detroit. Maybe vs the seahawks
She has a beautiful voice
I saw them in 1981, Pontiac Silver Dome in Pontiac Michigan. Iggy Pop and Santana opened. I recall that Santana put on the best performance. Iggy Pop got booed and people were throwing there lighters at him. Mick had a Detroit Lions Jersey on if I remember correctly. Santana came out for multiple encores.
You guys are too fun sometimes 😊
The spider and the fly
Kathy, I had the same issue with the song name! I am not a huge fan of the Rolling Stones but Sina Drums just released a cover of their Start Me Up somg that is really good.
Classic period
Great song-they have allot of them-they were suppose to be a bad boy version of the Beatles. Thanks for Reacting ..
They outlast the Beatles by decades - in material, performance and showmanship
There’s a great Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter video on TH-cam with Lady Gaga as the guest singer.
That's Lisa Fischer, he mentioned her name as she makes that song, just as the original Merry Clayton made the studio version
Maroon 5 Sang ,Moves Like Jagger, listen to it., its great.
There is an excellent version of Gimme Shelter on TH-cam which is U2 featuring Fergie, Will.I.Am and Mick Jagger. I recently mentioned to you about the Coldplay Fix You with Michael J Fox in a wheelchair well about 8 years ago before Michael was as poorly as he is now he performed Johnny B Good and Earth Angel live on stage with Coldplay, it's up on TH-cam if you want to catch up with it. I love the fella just wandering around checking out the fridge it keeps it real ❤ 🇬🇧
OUT OF CONTROL Havana Moon live in Cuba….Jagger in full flow
Hes got moves like jagger
You should watch The Rolling Stones documentary called Gimme Shelter....You won't be disappointed
Ba boom! Mick would have been c!ose to 70! Dang if I could move like that, even when I was 20! I am 65 now and can hardly move at all.😊 Good review ladies!
You could also try tumbling dice.
Love your channel you ladies are a riot
Thank you
Lulu is right. Maroon 5 has a song called Moves Like Jagger. Mick is famous for his stage presence.
If you want to see a young Mick Jagger. Check out Sympathy For The Devil from the film Rock And Roll Circus. It’s astonishing!
Check out Going to a go go from Hampton 1981!!!! Youll be amazed at Mick.
Check out live from Texas 1972 - All Down the Line - you’ll love it!
Kathy pays attention! HA!
All three of you are adorable and cool af. Great reaction. This is subdued for Jagger. Anything live from them from 1968 through 1979 is so good. Are y'all from anywhere near my part of the country (North Carolina side of the Smoky Mountains)? ❤❤❤
Texas
I believe that a homeless charity was started by this song in the UK called Shelter
Need to play the video with the lyrics and chords...this is a classic...
I suspect their point was that there is no shelter from thermonuclear war. Enjoy your reviews.
They're still touring. If you get a chance see them live they always put on a great show.Yeah, I agree, Mick J. is really toned down in this performance. If this concert is from the tour of the album Hackney Diamonds Mick is approx 68 years old. RIP Charlie.
For moves try "Start me up"
I believe they added backup singers as needed later in their career to fatten their sound....
