I'll chime in a BOS to da Stones for Gimme Shelter. If anyone debates their status as the Worlds Greatest Rock Band at the time this was recorded, I submit this song.

And quickly followed by BOS2, for Oh Well. With that nifty middle part that was recycled in The Chain. (Proxy BOS for Geoff, too.)

key phrase there being: "at the time this was recorded" :wink:

"Oh Well", this is officially a '69 Katrina, great tho' it may be.

Have you heard the Leo Kottke version of this?  It's fab.

Yes... there was also a rap version by some British outfit in the '80s. It wasn't fab.

Very observant. Certainly not today. Probably not since some time in the 70s. When that was exactly is open to debate.

If that's the case, then I think Polk Salad Annie gets that label as well.  Both great, both played fairly frequently when 69 comes up on the wheel.

"Everybody's 'trinin' at me". This is one of my all-time fave songs, but there needs to be a moratorium on it for a while.  Sorry to wear the crankypants, but Dave falls back on way too many "old standbys" in his '68 & '69 sets.

Having said that, BOS2 Jr Walker. What a glorious single.

BOS1 to Jr. Walker and company.  Anyone else hear a nick of Marty Balin in that line, "I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried"?

BOS2 to Merry Clayton; "Gimme Shelter" is also in my Stones Top 5 but I don't know if it would be without her frightening additions.

"Because" the LP is round, this gets BOS3. Flashing me back to autumn '69, freshman year of HS.  Not exactly great memories.
