@@Waitukubuli I fully believe you that she lost her baby. My heart is broken for her. But which doctor actually diagnosed it was because of singing this song? That seems like a far, far, far reach. (yes I understand you said stress from singing the song)
Well, he’s definitely cool enough to know better than to sing “Gimme Shelter” like it’s a Sondheim standard. Bono? Not so much. Because when Edge and Bono hit the dual guitars, this had a TON of promise. Fergie did a WONDERFUL job trying to get the thing back on track, but the horse had already left the barn.
Bono didn’t lie when he said let’s do something special. U2 and Fergie and Will already got me but to have Mick Jagger come perform with everyone is real rock music magic. Bravo everyone. That was groovy and awesome.
But if you want to see another version of this song, please find the live of Shaka Ponk and Detroit on youtube. You will not desappointed, I promise: Samaha, the French girl singer of Shaka is even much better than Fergie.
I just watched this amazing video, and without a doubt, it blew me away! The guitars provide the main theme but with a unique eerieness that U2 is known for. And Fergie and Mick Jagger have great synergy! Indeed, this performance is a real gem!
I love 💕 this performance. The eerie guitar from The Edge, the vocals from all the singers. The breakdown with the cool rock and roll guitar chorus. The original is one of the greatest... And they figured out how to take it even further. It sends electricity straight to my soul.
I've been a Stones fan since the early 1960s. They got back into gear in 68 and 69 after a messy 1967, and this remains one of their greatest songs. I also think this is the best ever 'live' version.
When Jagger enters the stage it feels exactly like Federer entering the Central Court or Messi entering the Camp Nou. You know immediately who the GOAT is. Even these seasoned celebrities like U2 or Fergie simply fade into the background.
When Fergie came to the front to do her bit, there was a drastic increase in the energy level; and that takes a whole new meaning when Bono and Mick Jagger are on the stage. This was mighty by Fergie. Love it! Due credit to Mick and Bono for the perfect build up and for sharing the stage with Fergie and giving her the space to own it. Bravo.
A seriously smoking ass performance. The Edge’s guitar fits the song perfectly, Fergie nails the great Merry Clayton’s original vocal, and of course Bono + Mick Jagger, fuck yeah!
The studio version.. yes. For anybody who has never heard gimme shelter, record 50 years ago, original, in the studio 1969... eerie. Enchanting. Edgy. Amazing.
Now this is called enjoying music...playing music and enjoying every moment of it even at this age...There isn't gonna be any musicians like the ones from that generation :(
All you young guys practising in Mum and Dad's garage, take notice of this performance! A really great band being joined in an eye-popping performance by the lovely Fergie, Will.I.Am and the greatest rock n' roll frontman of all time. Keep practising, as this sort of stuff can't be learnt overnight!
These guys are legend and Fergie is certainly holding her own on stage: respect! And I love the friendly harmony that just radiates from the performance. Very U2
@@lauriewood554 well, if you listing good you notice that she doesnt hit the right notes. I would have a bit more respect for Mick and U2 and Mick is owning the stage. Fergie is a popsinger who likes to join the real rockartists but would never be able to do that what they accomplished.
@@amedeodangelo549 We all know it's not their song. That's why they invited Mick, Ferggie, Springsteen and the amazing songwriter Patty Smith. Magic happens when we let go of our ego's and fears and stand together. Just as in this performance for instance. And yes, Ferggie was and is great, as well as everybody else all onstage. They all made this unforgettable. Less hate please. Haven't we had enough of that yet? Thank you.
Whe I listen to this and the songs Fergie did with Slash, then I think, that it is very sad, that she doesn't do more rock music. She has so much talent....
wow! I didn't expect this to be as fantastic as it was.my mind is blown away ! great performance triplets of rock n roll.gonna watch this again another time.thanks
To be able to join Mick onstage for such a legendary song as Gimme Shelter is a lifetime honour. They did it again at Live8 opening song with McCartney, Sergeant Pepper. Thats once in a lifetime twice for U2.
@@brianmahoney5800 HAHA what? She was off key and got the lyric wrong - it’s “war, children”, not “war and children”. Just bc it’s not how you’re used to seeing her doesn’t mean it was good.
@@roberttompkins6489 hey rob tompkins i am aware of the fact that the rolling stones wrote this song in 1969!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grand funk railroad did a version of this song in 1970!!!!!!! U2,GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, and the ROLLING STONES are a perfect 10!!!! i still give the edge to the rolling stones since they are the ORIGINAL SONGWRITERS!!!!!!!!
@@sillysausage4549 i am 62 years old and i followed U2 for a long time !!!!!!!! i listen to ALL KINDS OF MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what you said was a "silly" comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i even remember the old FILMORE EAST when i was very young !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have seen every band live except for the beatles !!!!!!!!i
Jagger fergi strepitosi ! Energia stellare.jagger super super super cantante e personaggio mondiale con energia da vendere e che trasmette con i suoi movimenti. Unico❤❤❤😂
