Im a fan of both Dean Martin and the Rolling Stones but the Rolling Stones are much, much preferred.
Best Rolling Stones performance can be see on YouTube by searching Rolling Stones gimme shelter Amsterdam 95. Lisa Fischer gives a performance that will raise the hair on your arms. If you are a Rolling Stones fan it is a must see.

That’s a nice version; a truly spectacular female lead. A little too much on the vocal pyrotechnics for my taste, it takes away from the essential grit and raw power of that magnificent Stones masterpiece.
Among perhaps the most consistently excellent catalog in rock history, Gimme Shelter is the greatest of the Rolling Stones songs.
the tune itself, it seems (and by this I guess I mean the studio release) is continually in my top 5 greatest ever songs.
A timely one, these days, too.
Wow - thanks for that! I was thinking earlier today that Gimme Shelter is probably my favorite rock tune of all time. Every time it comes on the radio...I crank that puppy up.
Damn. I thought the 'Brown Sugar' vid with Jagger and Tina Turner was something, but this is light-years beyond that. Lisa Fischer? OMG.
Thanks!
