Speaking Of The Rolling Stones…

A friend of a friend posted this on Facebook, and I just had to pass it along.

At various times, I have tried listing my All-Time-Top-Five-Favorite-Songs (try it sometime; it’s a lot harder than you think), and I usually come up with two Rolling Stones songs—Sympathy for the Devil and Gimme Shelter—in that list, even though I wouldn’t necessarily say that the Stones are one of my top-five favorite bands. Strange, innit?

Anyway, the link leads to a multiple-track “deconstruction” of  the studio recording of Gimme Shelter. Enjoy.

    Interesting trivia from the above link: Sympathy was recorded from June 4-10, 1968. The original line “Who killed Kennedy?” was changed to “Who Killed the Kennedys?” after Bobby Kennedy was assassinated on June 6.

    Dang. Now several of the videos have been removed. Copyright problems. Oh well, fun while it lasted…
