Playing for Change: Gimme Shelter

This cover of The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter by Playing for Change really works.  It’s a cool video made cooler when you know the process of getting people from around the world to join in…

• Gimme Shelter was recorded by unknown artists in a virtual worldwide street studio all around the world. It all starts with the base percussion, which is recorded first and sets the rhythm to it all, played by Greg Ellis in Hollywood. Then, the track flies all over the world, where other artists use it to play their own parts of the song.
