The Rolling Stones Live in Los Angeles Performing 'Gimme Shelter'
On October 17, 2021, The Rolling Stones were performing live in Los Angeles, showcasing their enduring appeal and vitality as rock icons well into their sixth decade of music-making. This performance occurred during their "No Filter" tour, which resumed after COVID-19 pandemic-related interruptions. Prior to this tour, they had released their latest studio album "Blue & Lonesome" in December 2016, a collection of blues covers that marked a return to their roots. The live performance featured "Gimme Shelter," a classic from their 1969 album "Let It Bleed," which remains a staple in their setlists and is renowned for its intense themes of chaos and violence. This particular recording also highlights the ongoing collaboration and chemistry between Mick Jagger and his musicians, including backup vocalist Sasha Allen, emphasizing the band's capacity to energize and connect with audiences, even years after their initial rise to fame.
