Rape, Murder, It’s Just a Shot Away

Can't believe she lost the baby that night, that's insane.

1969 was pretty fucked up for the Stones between their founder dying, miscarriages, altamont, etc.

And backing track. My favorite female backing vocal ever put to wax.

The real question though is how many times Gimme Shelter gets played during Climpson vs Bama part iii

When you hear her voice crack, you hear Mick in the background go "YEAH!!" I always assumed that she was this hottie giving it up and he wanted to bang her.

Never imagined in a million years that she was pregnant and would have a miscarriage hours later.
 
Jesus. Miscarriages are always tragic, but to have a late term one doubly so. I can’t imagine how difficult it must’ve been for this woman to hear the song afterwards because of the memories it must’ve dredged up. It’s heartening to hear that’s she’s moved past it and can sing the song again.
 
I didn't get the sense the miscarriage was actually that night. But at some point thereafter. Kind of vague.

Lots of factors contribute to that shit.

Shortly after leaving the studio, she lost her baby in a miscarriage. It has generally been assumed that the stress from the emotional intensity of her performance and the lateness of the hour caused the miscarriage. This doesn't seem vague. Seems like it clearly happened that night to me.
