Song information
When we were a bit younger and bolder we decided to do a dirty version of one of the best Stones songs. As Dylan suggested we are honoring some of the friends who are no longer with us. In this case, we remember our dear friend Geo (Fatchance) a great guy generous and lovable. He played the lead guitar. The other players were Dylan (rhythm guitars, drums) and some backing vocals, Toni (Antonia Husbands) backing vocals, and our dear friend North Point on Bass. I contributed with vocals and some percussion. I hope you like this 2024 gritty remaster.

Lyrics
Gimme Shelter 
Jagger-Richards

Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, yeah, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Mmm, a flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

It was a sad day when we learnt of Fatchance leaving us! His influence remains with us! Are you watching us, Geo? Great git! Your vocals here are extremely great! Who's Toni, the harmonizer? I need to listen to his/her stuff! Wonderful too! And Dyl is a legend like yourself! This is indeed an honour roll! Loving this session! Thanks!

Holy Moly- You all really got to the gritty of this and showcased it proudly and successfully. Toni really wailed it right on target.. Several thumbs and toes up to all involved

Geo was such a wonderful soul, nice to hear him live on thru the music. one of my favorite Stones songs and enjoyed listening to this track again. a nice "gritty" mix and i like it that way gives it a great "live" presence
