Vintages: "Gimmie Shelter" (1969)



We did Gimmie Shelter in a big room at Olympic Studios, and then did the overdubs in L.A. with Merry Clayton. In London Keith had been playing the groove a few times on his own Mick Jagger, 2003

That was done on a full-bodied, Australian electric-acoustic, f-hole guitar. It kind of looked like an Australian copy of the Gibson model that Chuck Berry used... It had all been revarnished and painted out, but it sounded great. It made a great record... And on the very last note of Gimmie Shelter, the whole neck fell off. You can hear it on the original take.Keith Richards, 2002

That's a kind of end-of-the-world song, really. It's apocalypse; the whole record's like that.Mick Jagger, 1995

And I know it was during that time of the Vietnam War and so on, so it was very much the awareness that war is always present, or almost... very present in life.Mick Jagger, 2003
