UTAH SAINTS -Gimme Shelter

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Hi everyone,
I think this was asked here before. Did the Utah Saints ever record this cover? Or they just played it live? In any case, I've been desperately looking for this for years -in vain. Would anyone light the end of this tunnel?

Thank you.

Thank you Dan. :notworthy:

I'm afraid I'm looking for either a possible studio version or a "good" live recording. I already had this "Off The Street" portion.

The best version I've heard is from the broadcast of the Barrowlands gig in 93 - Radio 6 have played it at least once. Same songs/versions to what was played at the AE show.

I never want to hear the NMA vs Tom Jones one! :urff:

You read my mind, Phoenix 93 is what I've been looking for all these years. If you did that, I would eternally thank you. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :D :D :D :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

as MP3 coding, quiet in comparison to the tape it has come off but that's only because i'm still learning how to use Nero Wave Editor. Will try to improve it.

thought i'd done the Phoenix gig tonight, but no, apparently i didn't press the correct button, so on we go again tomorrow :?

Did you ever manage to find the recording of New Gold Dream from that source. As your recording starts with Gimme Shelter and continues to the end of the gig with the final Utah Saints song I'm assuming the person recording turned over the tape (as around 40-odd minutes would have elapsed) after New Gold Dream. Someone has withheld the other side of the tape.

Is this Gimme Shelter? It's labeled as: "off the streets

Off the Streets was the benefit gig that the recording is from.
