22. "Gimme Shelter," BUT...

...it HAS TO BE the one from "Stripped."

In their infinite wisdom, the Stones left it off of the original "Stripped" CD, but it was in the film. It showed up on the Japanese "Wild Horses" single, but later made it to the "Totally Stripped" CD.

Lisa Fischer's solo begins at 2:58, and she hits that impossible high note at 3:23. It's a shame the actual video seems to be gone from YouTube, because when she hits it, they go to a close-up of Keef and he gets this big, beaming smile that is unforgettable. Martin Scorsese used the Lisa Fisher version in "Casino," specifically her solo section.
