Gimme Shelter (live in New York)

Recorded 18th January 2006, this sparse, skin-tight performance opens with Keith’s ominous guitar breaks, builds around Lisa Fischer’s knockout vocal, and then proceeds to demonstrate why Gimme Shelter is such a fantastic song, and why The Rolling Stones – who first played this live in 1969, 37 years previously – have not and ain‘t never gonna fade away.
Genius. It’s just a riff away.
