Maxlugar Last night I listened to '73, '95 '75 and '72 in a row.

I'll tell you one thing, listening to a bunch of Gimme Shelters in a row is one of the easiest and enjoyable things a person can ever do.

It gets you every time.

MAXY!

Back in the early 70s, there was a British publication called 'Story Of Pop', it built into a weekly encyclopedia. The Stones were featured prominentely throughout. In a section that dealt specificaly with Altamont it regards The Gimme Shelter rendition at The Empire Pool 9.9.73 as a chilling version that sums the band, and The Altamont disaster up perfectly,(I am not quoting there.)Is this the version on 'Timeless'73'?



It's the one on the second CD, and the one that circulates on Headed for an Overload, Bedspring Symphony, Nasty Songs, and boots like that. It is THE ONE from '73.

I concur, one song in any form that I never tire from...Welp I'm tired time to go to bed.

Maxlugar Is that an Evil Knevil action figure?

He was so cool. A genuine hero for us kids in the '70's.

I can remember going out and jumping milk crates and garbage cans on my bike in his honor.

What a man.

Did you know he was going to jump from an airplane without a parashute on to a bail of hay? Someone talked him out of that one.

Friggin' great!

Maxlugar What? He didn't his new liver yet?

Stonesthrow I agree with Padre and FPM. The studio version's music conveys the mood of the lyrics better than any boot does.

nankerphelge I remember the haybail thing Max!
I was all for it - hell let him try.
He muffed the Snake River Canyon jump because the chute threw as he came off the ramp!

Gotta watch those rocket cycles -- they can get away from ya!

Dumped his sorry ass down the Canyon wall.
Ass over teakettle!

Thanks Nasty! It's been a long time since I last heard 'Bedspring' so I wasn't sure. If that's the case then that gets my vote after the two studio versions.

Friggin' great!.....SNAP! We found a MINI canyon, part of a waterwash, broken arms, broken legs, fractured skulls, we never learned! Kneivel created a global monster.
