Shelter in 1969, but I have been enjoying much of their music since 1963/4. Of all the various version of Gimme Shelter that are available to listen to I especially like this one by Michael Hedges. It's very haunting and beautifuly played in the style of a lament or a ballad by sombody who has been shaken by the consequences of war rather than as in the 'Stones release where Mick Jagger is warning of what is to come.
