Most people know the legend about the songs missing from the Sisters' RAH 1985 Wake gig. (If you don't, have a look at the quote at end of this post). Thankfully, half-way decent versions have been uploaded to youtube by genetrujillo :notworthy:

The quality of audio is probably slightly better than the video, but either way these are by far the best versions of the 'lost' songs I've seen, so I've collated the links and put them here for posterity:

Gimme Shelter

By the time we hit the stage for the last encore, some of the necessary machines had been switched off. Various film technicians had decided that we'd finished. Andrew had been performing with a couple of cracked ribs, and he had indeed decided to finish, but Lemmy was in the dressing room to convince him that another encore was in order. After a short discussion and a multilateral assessment of all the available pharmaceuticals, the band hit the stage again - but too speedily for the aforementioned technicians. There was some audio-visual material from the last encore, but Polygram "lost it" shortly after the film was edited and released."

Is that the early 80's casual, sporting Kappa, Pringle and Fred Perry? Or the slightly later Stone Island and Burberry mob? :lol:
