just listening to oporto 91 - sound is "strange", but the performance of gimme shelter is incredible - always liked that one in that period.
so as i have a lot of gigs i have never been listening to, i would like to know your favourite renditions of it - it would save a lot of time for me
.
the ones coming to my mind immediately are:
lorely 92, birmingham 92, ny 30.3.91, oporto 91.
thx,
j.

I was never sure about the guitar solo in 91/92 - though in its initial form it was a groovy and very rocky - I think the solo was much shorter at Leeds Poly in 91, though maybe I'm thinking of the 90 gigs.

Bricheno used to do a bit of guitar-trashin' on it... liked it very much. When they played Gimme Shelter in Hasselt, it was Tim's last time doin' the routine... great song, great cover, great guitar player, ...
Those were the days my friend

I was going to say Birmingham 92 but you beat me to it. It was the introduction and the guitar solo that did it for me.

most versions of it really lack power, but the some of them are just outstanding, and if tim has got a big sound, its one of the few tracks which really got a kind of improvising-on-stage character.
i also never got a clue what lead the sisters to perform gs at the lorely longer than in any other show - which i discovered only later, although i was there - still one of the biggest momenst i have seen live.
@ andrew: yes, birmingham 92 would be the one for the island.
