The song has been covered by the Stones for years, even before the release of Stripped. Mick Jagger usually introduces the song with "This is a song Bob Dylan wrote for us." It's one of the Stones' best covers to be added to their live sets. |

| The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter Lyrics

Mick Jagger: "That song was written during the Vietnam War and so it's very much about the awareness that war is always present; it was very present in life at that point. Mary Clayton who did the backing vocals, was a background singer who was known to one of the producers. Suddenly, we wanted someone to sing in the middle of the night. And she was around. She came with her curlers in, straight from bed, and had to sing this really odd lyric. For her it was a little odd - for anyone, in the middle of the night, to sing this one verse I would have been odd. She was great." |

| The Rolling Stones – One Hit (To the Body) Lyrics

This is an excellent song. Though it's from the Stones' most tumultuous time as a band, its definately one of their more under-rated tracks from the post-Atco era. The song features Jimmy Page on lead guitar and the acoustic parts were written, played, and suggested by Ron Wood, which is why he gets a writing credit. |

Noel Gallagher: This opening track was premiered at Glastonbury and borrows the riff from Gary Glitter's 'It's Good To Be Back'. It's one of the three songs on the album that's not about anything. I spend as much time on the lyrics as I do on the music. I'd like our kid to spend more time on them but he spends no time at all. Obviously, everyone is going on about the Gary Glitter thing, but I just had that in for a laugh. |
