Gimme Shelter

The final installment of The Rolling Stones Chronicles is set to Gimme Shelter, the haunting 1969 track that opens the Let It Bleed album and provides a backdrop for the theme of revolution and the turmoil that ended the decade. The hippie movement, the funeral for original guitarist Brian Jones, the Hyde Park tribute concert, and the tragedy of Altamont are all captured. At one point, Jagger explains to an interviewer, “Most young people are dissatisfied with the generation which they think is running their lives.” He is then asked, “What things are you dissatisfied with?” He responds, “The generation that runs our lives.”
