GIMME SHELTER - The Rolling Stones - BLOW UP the SONG, Ep. 2 - (Jagger & Richards)

#gimmeshelter #rollingstones #letitbleed
Watch and listen as I blow away the veneer of the final mix of The Rolling Stones' apocalyptic track Gimme Shelter. Hear the isolated tracks and performances of one of the most powerful songs and recordings of all time, written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger and released on The Rolling Stones' 1969 LP, Let It Bleed.
