GtrPlyr Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This is kind of cool: isolating the tracks of Gimme Shelter.Yeah, pretty cool indeed. I wonder if they combined tracks onto one for this demonstration, or if that's how it is on the original tape. The one track has guitar, piano and Mick's harmonica in places. Considering the year of the recording, this was likely recorded on an 8-track or 16 at the most so I'm thinking they probably had to bounce a lot of stuff down to one track. I've always maintained that those kind of limitations force you to be more creative and work quicker. Nowadays people have endless number of tracks, take forever to finish a song, but the music often has less going for it than stuff like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Kind of wild that this thread is at the top - I logged on to post in it and figured I'd have to search.Anywayz, I'm reading Keef's book and am mad for Exile right now and realized I want the remaster. But - there seems to be no package offer where you get the remaster on vinyl, is that right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 This is kind of cool: isolating the tracks of Gimme Shelter. I love this kind of stuff. Amazing how terrible the drumming is, but it sounds great in context. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 @ Sir Stewart - There's a super deluxe version of the 2010 Exile remaster that comes with 2-LPs, 2-CDs, and 1 DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Exile-Main-St-Super-Deluxe/dp/B0039ZF89G I saw the other week that a 13-LP vinyl box set was released too (No Exile, but some great records in there nonetheless): http://www.amazon.com/Rolling-Stones-1964-1969-Limited-Remastered/dp/B00461MY30 I love this kind of stuff. Amazing how terrible the drumming is, but it sounds great in context.Overall I think the drumming is pretty great on that track actually. Great groove and fills that perfectly compliment the song, and the sound of the drums is pretty good too. I'd kill to get a drum track like this on one of my recordings.

EDIT: Reading it again, and searching for the term 'vinyl' on the page, it appears that the Super does include the vinyl. Wouldn't have checked again if you didn't post that, so thanks GtrPlyr! Too bad those Gimme Shelter links are gone. That was pretty exciting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I think those tracks originated from some guys blog. You can find it if you do a search (Deconstructing ‘Gimme Shelter'). I have seen a lot of that sort of thing out there - due to the Rock Band video game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ronnie Wood Radio Show Only listen to a bits and pieces of the show, but they are pretty decent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I've listened to that a few times. He spins records, and then plays a few tunes. The first one I heard was the show with Glen Matlock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 On his latest show he talks about how him and Jagger wrote "No Use In Crying" while they were in Linda Ronstadt's cupboard in Malibu. Being a Stones geek, I enjoy these types of stories. It seems that Wood is one of most affable rock stars - it seems he played or partied with everyone. I haven't gotten around to read his auto-bio, yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have it. It's the usual rock book story. I was surprised to read that after all these years he was basically broke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, he has a lot of bad habits - money management being one of them. Obviously he didn't really start rolling in the dough until the late 80s or early 90s, but still he should have more money. I browsed over it (at my local Borders, none the less) - it seems like it could be read in one rainy Sat. afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In one of the shows I listened to he talked about the Jeff Beck Group a lot. He has no love for Peter Grant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
