Isolated Tracks: Stones – Gimme Shelter

Over the four-plus years of Hidden Track’s existence, some of our favorite stories to cover are the leaks of isolated tracks. Whether it’s David Lee Roth screeching, yelling and singing Runnin’ With The Devil or Geddy Lee tearing through Tom Sawyer, we love hearing the intricacies that are so hard to pick out on the full-band audio.

The latest set of isolated tracks to surface are of the Rolling Stones’ classic Gimme Shelter from 1969’s Let It Bleed, which were first posted on the blog Dangerous Minds. Let’s start with a vocal track featuring harmonies from Mick Jagger and Merry Clayton…


From there, we’ve got Keith Richards rhythm guitar track…

Cover Wars: It Makes No Difference

Written by guitarist Robbie Robertson and sung by bassist Rick Danko, It Makes No Difference was first released in 1975 on Northern Lights-Southern Cross, the first real studio record from The Band in four years. An incredible tale of heartbreak, the track clocks in over six and a half minutes, one of the longest in The Band’s catalog (Acadian Driftwood, also on Northern Lights-Southern Cross is almost seven minutes long).

Bob Dylan: Terminal 5, New York, NY 11/23/10

Lately when Bob Dylan plays his adopted city he has chosen to do so in theaters or gardens, but the smallish Terminal 5 was the perfect choice this Thanksgiving season; you could tell the intimacy added to the legends performance.  With the consistent rhythm of Tony Garnier the band flowed along, allowing Charlie Sexton to roam free before sliding into duals with Dylan’s keyboard.  More of a bluesman then most would like to admit, the roadhouse style of rollicking was on display plenty tonight.

Underworld: Barking

It’s safe to say that, along with Faithless, Underworld created the soundtrack for the mid-90s for this writer, a time of club music and club going, of raves and dance parties and general electronic carrying on. To this day, their breakout hit “Born Slippy” can send shivers down my spine. So how does a duo who’s been playing together since 1979 (seriously, that long) fare releasing an album in 2010 that is remarkably true to that mid-90s sound, if slightly updated? Not badly at all.

Easy Star All-Stars: Dubber Side of the Moon

It’s been done and will be done many times again but when artists decide to honor a classic rock album, it can end up being a stale, cheesy rehash or resulting in something truly strong. Thankfully, when it comes to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon the Easy Star All Stars can dub this album primarily fabulous.
