The final break when Lisa enters and Jagger and Lisa howl, makes me shiver. Takes me right back to the seventies. The Rolling Stones will live forever.
I worked the Steel Wheels Tour, I was always impressed with Charlie Watt's calm demeanor and his intense performance on the drums and percussion. A truly nice person and a gentleman. He will be missed as much as his memory will be treasured.
If you saw Charlie Watts outside of being a Rolling Stone, you would never guess he was the drummer for this group of wild men! Could be mistaken for a country gentleman, librarian, college professor etc. Very humble and greatly missed. As I write this, news a few days ago his wife Shirley passed away. She was in her 80's. RIP
It's really nice that you worked that tour...with Mr Watts..it always appeared to me..what you saw is what you got..a real gentleman..he was the absolute backbone of the Stones...always and forever
Lisa's hauntingly beautiful lead-in vocals are like butter on burned flesh. And when the crowd erupts during her stratospheric high-note solo, it literally brings me to tears. Her 26 years of adding a hugely sensual dimension to this iconic song is a testament to the indisputable power of her talent. She is The Queen, besides having the most gorgeous legs in the business! Only Lisa could upstage Mick. She did it in spades, without even breaking a sweat. God bless Merry Clayton. She was the standard bearer. But after three concerts, she bowed out. Lisa took the baton and ran with it for the next quarter century. Her successors, Sasha Allen and Chanel Haynes, are remarkable talents in their own right. But, they simply cannot compare to the legend that is Lisa Fischer.
The performance took place at Twickenham Stadium in London on July 25, 2003. Lisa Fischer is a world-renowned singer, and her performance on "Gimme Shelter" was nothing short of incredible. The performance of "Gimme Shelter" at Twickenham Stadium is considered to be one of the greatest live performances of all time. It is a testament to the power of music, and it is a reminder of why the Rolling Stones are one of the most iconic bands in history.
The Rolling Stones are not one of the most iconic bands, but they are the biggest and most important band. I found out about this after listening to Brussels Affair (Live 1973). The currently released album ("Hackney Diamonds") only confirms their incredible enthusiasm, energy and vitality, which puts much younger bands and even ordinary people not involved in music to shame.
I think that Rock N Roll is more than a music genre, but a subculture, an attitude, a lifestyle. Strictly musically speaking,, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin are more important than the Stones, but in all the other aspects that define rock in culture nobody comes even close to them (except for Queen maybe).
Lisa Fischer is the best. She sang with The Stones, and so many others, because Lisa Fischer is the best. I was lucky to see her live, and in person, at the Boulder Theatre, in Boulder, CO.. a couple of years back. She blew the house apart with her dynamic singing, and dynamic stage presence. I would love to see her again.Met her after the show .. and she is THE BEST! "Brooklyn in The House!"
and if I may, I am proud for having seen the Stones before they got famous, in 1964 , I was 16 and heard they would be passing quickly in a small german village near Francfort, with a friend we went there hitch hiking, and it was true, I effectively saw MJ jump 10 meters from me ... one of the best souvenirs of my life ! Micki Jaegger effectively jumps very high, it is not a legend !
Lisa is an amazing singer. She has such a stage presence. And that's before she even opens her mouth.. When she starts singing, you become engulfed in her soul. Her and Mick has such good stage chemistry. Look for her and him doing Miss You.. It's cute how she can still swoon over him.
Super version of this great classic song. 😀 Rest in peace Charlie Watts. Thanks for all the great drumming over the years on all the Rolling Stones memorable songs. 👍
Still my favorite concert moment: Bridges to Babylon tour, San Diego in the rain, Gimme Shelter, Lisa singing & spinning with water streaming from her braids. We were soaked, but didn’t mind it in the slightest. I just got a chill remembering it again. Thanks for sharing this video.
SUPERLATIVE! I saw this show at Milan Stadium in 2003, one of the best days in my life. Lisa's voice give me thrills at the time and also today, 20 years later! Thanks for posting.
Lisa is ........the star of this story. Yes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2BjAZQPgOjQ.html. Mick is nowhere, refusing to produce normal pronouncation. Pityful. Enough.
Heavyweight version of this super heavyweight song, Mick and Lisa giving their all, Keith and Ron 🎸🎸🎸🔥👍 meshing like their lives depended on it, and Charlie, what can you say? driving the whole thing from start to finish, Rest in Peace 🙏🥁 dear Charlie Watts
Watching them live and listening to the introduction to this song is sending shivers down my arm remembering it. My friend from Oahu called me from the show there telling me about Lisa Fischer. I heard her and the Stones two days later in San Diego. She 's in her prime musically and physically in this recording. Dang,those legs and gorgeous face.
My gosh,you look and listen to this...and see and listen to the music now...almost makes you wanta cry and wish for the olden'days even more !!...and Lisa Fischer,a heck of a body shaker !!
Flawless performance by Lisa. Her lower range is rich and deep. The highs are in the stratosphere and haunt the soul. Kudos to Charlie to driving the song forward.
Very good version of what I feel is one of the most iconic and meaningful songs ever. My regards to the magical and brilliant Charlie. He was looking so good in this clip.
Whenever I need to escape into music, this is the video I pull up! Lisa wailing, Mick rockin', Keith and Ron keeping the melody, and Charlie just back there pounding on the drums. Wayyyyy, wayyy wayyyyyyy! Ahhhh, now I feel better.
Interesting to see the three living Stones walk back to the stage high-fiving fans energetically. And then there's quietly Charlie Watts walking back first. Part of that is because his drum part is coming up real soon and no time to waste. But his stoic demeanor compared to the rest of the band personifies his stabilizing quiet but strong impact on this legendary band. Great footage, great rendition of a classic.
Live from Twickenham, favourite version ever, band on fire, thank God it was taped and released as one of the Four Flicks shows but it needs to be released on Blu ray 🔥💯🎸🥁🎹 ❤️🇮🇪☘️👍
I played this song when I was under 10 years old: that was a long time ago: the lyrics and wholeness of this epic song became my favorite . And to this day ., gimme shelter - hurts and uplifts even at 10 years old ( I got the message ) of an f****d up world we reside in. RIP CHARLIE the Steady Rock behind the scenes.
Lisa was firing on all cylinders that night ! Burning down the house with her searing voice and sizzling dance moves. They should have Lisa be a judge on The Voice instead of the Pop-Tarts on there now
What is that? Lisa is fantastic, Jagger is great, listen to Charlie, Keef does a phenomenal job. This is one of the greatest performanced of gifted musicians that playing so tight and full of feeling. It's the essence of the Stones and maybe Rock itself. Thank you for giving this to us.
P.S.(in my own humble opinion(IMHO)> RIGHT BEHIN MR JAEGR & MR RICHARDS & RONNIE WOOD IN YEARS & PLAYING< STILL ABLE TO KEEP PACE W/KEITH & RON(MICK TAYLOR WAS AT A HIGHER LEVEL)< MORE LIKE JEFF BECK W/OUT THE EXTRA GADGET SOUNDS & WHAMMY BAR(DIG JEFF AT RONNIE SCOTS " A DAY IN THE LIFE"}> MY SAXOPHONE EMULATES THEIR GUITAR< MORE AKIN TO DICKY BETTS & DWAYNE ALLMAN(ALLMAN BRO> ORIGINALS) & OCCASSIONALY W/ ERIC CLAPRON(CREAM ERA & LAYLA LOVE SONGS ALBUM).

Gimme Shelter, is a 1st class Masterpiece, and work of art. Lisa Fischer is sounding awesome 🎉🎉 The Stones always put on an amazing performance. Keep rockin and rolling. Love my Stones 🎉🎉
It’s very rare to have so high a quality of performance with such inspired songwriting - in a plethora of instances! …making these celebrities iconic indeed!!
What I love most about this version is Mick, Keith and Ronnie extroverting it up the catwalk after Charlie's done the introvert's walk of "Yup. got a job to do. Oh, crikey, what a lot of people..." Oh, and Lisa Fishcer upstaging the three of them. Obviously.
