I heard an alternate version of Gimme Shelter today, on the crappy radio in my truck, that really had merit. It was bass driven but sounded like Keith and Mick. Keith has a different version out there that grooves a little more than the original, but not this much. The radio quality was bad enough that I'm not sure it was the Stones at all. Little help?
wikipedia lists about 30 covers of the song:

Take a look on allmusic. It's a good site for this kind of thing.

That Merry Clayton version was nice. GFR is a possibility but I need to dig up a sample.

But, I gotta get to class!
I did it. And I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids.
Search the Cellar for, possibly a "covers" thread (?) because the GFR version has been posted here, and it is very heavy and bass-driven. Killer version.

The funny thing is that I didn't remember being the one who posted this:

Gerry Rafferty died just a while ago. I always loved Baker Street. Will listen to FF's version later.
if you have an approximate time and the date, most radio stations have their playlists online these days ...

Re: Foo/Rafferty vid: WTF?
It's only available in Amish Country, which is why Flint could access it.
I don't think Flint's Amish anymore.
Went out for rumspringa and never looked back?
Winning! teh GFR version. Thanks for doing my homework!
Awesome cover, huh? Blew my mind when I heard it, too.
I heard it on Pandora. It's also on their "Classic Masters" compliation.
