I do not believe that Mick Jagger lacks for shelter, or can even really imagine it, is part of my problem.
it kind of doesn't matter. the song is an invocation, and by the time it gets going full throttle, it's generated this massive, devastating, hurricane power that erases any relationship to the human beings creating it. it's maybe the most viscerally violent and horror-movie-terrifying pop song ever recorded, this raging, howling cataclysm of sound.
my reminiscence is that when i was about 12 years old, i used to set up my stepdad's stereo speakers facing each other and lie on the living room floor with my head between them and listen to side three of hot rocks fucking CRANKED. eyes closed, so loud it made my ears hurt. "jumping jack flash", "street fighting man", "sympathy for the devil", "honky tonk women" (i'd usually jump up to skip that one, not cuz i didn't like it, but it broke the mood) and finally "gimme shelter". straight shot of evil, violent, black mass rock n roll. gave me chills, filled my head with awful visions, still does today.

The weird thing about those isolated tracks for Gimme Shelter is that, other than the vocals and maybe Keith's solo on the intro, I'd never have guessed they were era-capturing performances. You know, the guitar's rough & ready, the piano good-timey and loose, Wyman's plunking away like a kid with his chord book propped open.
Even the mix is a bit muddy, but there's this weird alchemy in the full thing that brings elements out continually like demons from a bottle, or conjuring storms rolling across the plain. It's the one track, more than any other, where I feel sure there's a presence that isn't there by design. I call it The Magic. That's what I'm celebrating most.
