Read about this the other day. Backing vocals on Gimme Shelter have always blown me away, so was interested to here the isolated version.
Amazing. Goosebumps all over! 2.40 especially.

Wow, you can really hear how her voice cracks where she sings so powerfully!!

Open E tuning for the guitar intro stones fans!!

Apparently she (Merry Clayton) was pregnant and lost her baby after the recording sessions. (According to the NME)

Can’t wait to hear this….thanks for posting the link.

Fantastic, can’t hear this without imaging Huey’s flying over – awesome track & inspired find 🙂

anyone tried to launch them all at the same time and recreate the song as a whole? would make a good office game…

*wishes computer had soundcard* 🙁

The Black Diamond Heavies seague into the final verse or two at the end of ‘Fever in My Blood’ on the ‘Alive as F***’ album, bit different but still very good.

Think I will just keep that on repeat for a while.

That’s amazing.

Heavy, as I believe they used to say.

Incredible, that’s made me tingle all over and has upset my 2 year old son!
