Hey all, I did a search and couldn't find anything related so thought I'd start a discussion on any great "Gimme Shelter" covers. I've heard many perform their own version so if you know of any feel free to post in this thread!

Here's a link to my own rendition:
https://soundcloud.com/betty-moon/gimme-shelter-rolling-stones-cover

I also thought what Playing for Change did was pretty cool. Any others?

This singer seems to have her own handle on the tune...though she could use a skinny old white dude singing as back up

Welcome bettym!
